How to identify synthetic emeralds

1, Synthesis of Emerald by Flux Growth Method. Emerald synthesized by flux growth method is very bright in color and has no yellow or blue hue. The red fluorescence effect of emerald synthesized by flux growth method is more obvious than that of natural emerald. Put it on the dark black floor and shine with strong light to the red light that the pan-natural emerald does not have.

2. Hydrothermal synthesis of emerald. This emerald has good transparency, uniform color, bright green or bluish or yellowish green. Zooming in, we can see that many dots or peaks are distributed on one level. These are typical spike inclusions, and most of them are directional. Occasionally, you can see seed interlayers and triangular and hexagonal platinum sheets with different colors but gentle distribution. Growth lines and ribbons can also be seen in the emerald synthesized by hydrothermal method, which are mostly parallel to the seed crystal.

3. Synthetic beryl with emerald coating. Due to the combination of different substances, when it is put into water, it can be seen that the coated beryl becomes darker at the corners. In addition, interlaced network cracks can be seen at the junction of coating and beryl.
