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 multitude of unfamiliar materials. Accidental discoveries in ancient times revealed that "treating” gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Today, the methods for manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly advanced. Crystals are now cultivated to replicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of those found in nature. 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 vast range of products and prices. There are now far more options than ever before, but some basic knowledge is needed to make the right choice. The term synthetic refers to man-made materials whose chemical and physical properties closely match those of their natural counterparts.
As for the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials — that remains an open discussion. What we do know, however, is that everything is energy, and every object carries its own unique 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 aura or mood? Every stone that draws your attention is your stone — the right one for your creation, the perfect expression of your artistic inspiration.
