How is Morganite identified?

How to identify Morganite? Nowadays, many people with strong economic ability will like to buy some gold and silver jewelry at home or as decorations. One of them is Morganite, but Morganite should also pay attention to the distinction and purchase. Otherwise, it is easy to be fooled. Today, I will tell you how to identify Morganite.

How does Morganite pass the color recognition 1?

Natural Morganite is usually pink, while Morganite will show different colors from different angles under the irradiation of light, which is also one of the characteristics of Morganite, so we can distinguish the true from the false.

heat treatment

Morganite can change its color after post heat treatment. For example, green and blue Morganite will turn blue after heat treatment, while yellow will turn pink.

Therefore, heat treatment discoloration is a common method used by many businesses. However, changing the color of Morganite by heat treatment will not change its crystal structure, so it is an optimization treatment.

Observe the refractive index of light

The refractive index of light in Morganite is higher than that in aquamarine, especially in pink Morganite, and the light passing through it will reflect a very beautiful color.

So we can put Morganite in the sunlight and observe the refractive index of sunlight after it passes through Morganite. The high refractive index should be true, but it may be false anyway.

How to identify Morganite 2 How to identify the authenticity of Morganite?

The first optimization method is heat treatment. The color of Morganite can be changed by heat treatment. When treated at a high temperature of 400-450 degrees, Morganite's green blue turns blue, light blue turns dark blue, yellow green turns blue, orange yellow turns pink and so on. And the result is stable, which belongs to the optimization type.

The second optimization method is radiation therapy. Radiation treatment can turn colorless beryl in Morganite into yellow, green into blue, pink into orange and so on.

Morganite's method of distinguishing authenticity.

It is understood that Morganite is mainly produced in pegmatite and greisen, and its output is rare and very precious. In addition, Morganite is pink, because it contains manganese, and it is often replaced by a small amount of rare metals cesium and rubidium, which makes it have high density and refractive index. The density can reach 2, 80 ~ 2 and 90g/cm3. Morganite is mainly produced in Xinjiang, Yunnan and Sichuan, among which Xinjiang and Yunnan are the best. As we know, the output of Morganite is actually very scarce, and the Morganite that appears on the market now is generally optimized. The commonly used optimization methods in Morganite are irradiation treatment and heat treatment. After optimization, Morganite can change color and is loved by everyone.

Is Morganite very expensive?

Morganite mainly includes pink, rose and peach. Generally speaking, gems are named according to their own colors, but Morganite takes people's names as the names of gems. Morganite's output is relatively small, and the color is very beautiful and moving, so its value is also high. The price in Morganite is determined according to the particle size and quality, and the price varies with different quality and size. In the current market, the price of ordinary Morganite is about $0/0 per carat/kloc. Of course, Morganite is more popular and the color is scarce, so the price of this Morganite can be as high as several hundred dollars per carat.

Shopping necessities in Morganite

1. When you buy Morganite, you must first look at the colors of Morganite. Morganite is a precious one in colored gems. When you buy Morganite, you must choose the one with bright colors. It is best not to mix other colors in it.

2. The choice of Morganite depends on the cleanliness of Morganite: like its relative aquamarine, the cleanliness of Morganite is generally better, but compared with aquamarine, Morganite still has more inclusions or inclusions. When buying Morganite, consumers still try to buy high-purity Morganite, because the purity of this gem is not low.
