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 range of new materials. Accidental discoveries in ancient times revealed that "treating” gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Today, the methods of manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly advanced.
Crystals are now cultivated to duplicate the chemistry, structure, and qualities 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 in the gemstone industry. These artificial and treated materials offer an enormous range of products and prices.
Jewelry buyers today have far more options but also need a basic understanding to make informed choices. The term "synthetic” refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties match those of the natural stones they imitate.
As for the metaphysical qualities of synthetic materials, that remains an open discussion. Yet we know that everything is energy — 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 enough to transform someone’s aura or mood?
Every stone that draws you in is your stone — the right one for your creation, the true reflection of your artistic inspiration.
