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. We are now faced with a vast variety of unfamiliar materials. Accidental discoveries in ancient times revealed that "treating” gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Today, the methods used to manipulate and imitate gemstones have become increasingly sophisticated. Crystals are now 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 produce an astonishing variety of materials that are sold within the gemstone industry.
These synthetic and treated materials offer a wide range of products and prices. With so many options available, we now need a bit of basic knowledge to make the right choice. The term synthetic refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties are identical or nearly identical to 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 this — we can feel it ourselves. After all, isn’t color alone powerful enough to change someone’s mood or aura? Every stone that attracts you is your stone — the right one for your creation, the perfect reflection of your artistic inspiration.
