Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is now far from straightforward. We are confronted with a plethora of unfamiliar materials. Historical incidents reveal that "treating" gemstones can enhance their appearance and properties. Today, the methods for manipulating and imitating gemstones are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Crystals are cultivated that replicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of those found naturally. Natural origin is no longer a given. Laboratories and factories worldwide are the source of an astonishing array of materials sold in the gemstone market. These artificial and treated materials offer a vast array of products and prices. There are now many more options available, but we need some basic knowledge to make our choice. The term "synthetic" refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties overlap with those of the natural products they replicate. As for the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials, this remains an open discussion. However, we know that everything is energy, and every object carries its charge and impact. No one needs to tell us; we can feel this impact ourselves. Isn’t color alone enough to change someone’s aura or mood? Any stone that draws you in is your stone, the right stone for your creation, the precise expression of your creative inspiration.
