Product description
Strand of semi-precious stone beads SYNTHETIC TURQUOISE in a round shape.
Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is no longer a simple task. Buyers today are faced with a wide variety of materials that did not exist in the past. By chance, people in ancient times discovered that "treating” gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Today, methods of manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly sophisticated. Crystals are being cultivated to replicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of naturally occurring stones. Natural origin can no longer be taken for granted.
Laboratories and factories around the world now produce an astonishing variety of materials sold within the gemstone market. These artificial and treated materials offer a vast range of products and prices. Jewelry buyers have far more options than ever before, but they also need some basic knowledge to make informed choices.
The term synthetic refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties mirror those of the natural stones they imitate. As for the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials, that remains an open discussion. However, we know that everything is energy, and every object carries its own vibration and influence. We don’t need anyone to tell us — we can feel it ourselves. After all, isn’t color alone powerful enough to change one’s mood or aura? Every stone that draws you in is your stone — the right one for your creation, the perfect expression of your creative inspiration.
