The huge family of green gemstones has many prestigious members. In China, the most famous green gemstone is emerald, and then green tourmaline, saffronite, garnet, and diopside. In this star-studded family, how can we distinguish them, let them teach you to distinguish these sister flowers. Emerald Emeralde Emerald is known as the king of emeralds and is a very precious gem. One of the most recognized precious stones in the international jewelry industry. Because of its unique green and unique charm, as well as magical legends, it has been favored by Westerners. Recently, it has become more and more popular among Chinese people. Among the many silicate minerals, the color of emerald is the most attractive, so it is loved. Shafray Stone Tsavorite The simple distinction between emerald and saffron is the closest to the emerald in the green gems, and the others are quite different. First of all, the emerald cracks and impurities are much more obvious than the savory stones; Secondly, saffron has a strong arsenic gloss and dispersion, and the fire is stronger than emerald. In addition, the color of the emerald is generally deeper, and the color is colder or more bluish. In contrast, the green color of saffronite is more yellowish green. Green diamond-like fire - garnet Demantoid The saffronite is chrome vanadium calcium aluminum garnet, and the garnet is a chrome-containing calcium iron garnet. Although both are green, they are similar. However, the refractive index and dispersion are very different. The garnet dispersion rate is higher than that of Schaffler, and the fire color is better than the saffron stone. The so-called fire color is the colored light reflected from the inside of the faceted gemstone. Look at the picture of the garnet and the above view of the Schaffer stone contrast. Dusk Emerald - Peridot Peridot Peridot is a greenish yellow, olive-like gem, commonly known as "dusk emerald." Its biggest feature is that the cut peridot is placed under a magnifying glass, and a double shadow surface appears at the bottom of the stone, called gemstone "faceted porch" or "double shadow". This is not available in the saffron and garnet. Olivine has no Shafley stone flash. In fact, olivine is more easily confused with tourmaline, and olivine is more fresh than green tourmaline. Dichromatic - green tourmaline Green tourmaline has many colors, including light green to dark green, yellow green or brown green. It has dichroism, color difference in different directions, and green often has a yellow or blue tone. The best is the emerald chrome tourmaline, which was mistaken for emeralds in Europe, and the bright chrome tourmaline is also a rare treasure. Siberian emerald - Diopside Diopside Diopside is generally small, the color is darker, wearing a yellow tone, and some with a magnifying glass to see visible double shadow, there are obvious and trichromatic. The most confusing three sisters The saffronite, green tourmaline and diopside which are darker in color and somewhat black are more difficult to distinguish. If you look carefully, you can still see it differently. This is to see more of these 6 sisters, it is easier to distinguish. Therefore, everyone should be more exposed to the real thing, pay more attention to observation, what characteristics do they have.
