Product description
Strand of semi-precious stone beads SYNTHETIC TURQUOISE in an abacus shape.
Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is no longer a simple task. Buyers today are faced with a wide range of materials that did not exist before. Accidental discoveries in ancient times revealed that the "treatment” of gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Today, methods for manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly sophisticated. Crystals are now cultivated to replicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of those naturally found in the earth. Thus, a stone’s 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 trade. These artificial and treated stones offer an immense range of products and prices. Modern jewelry buyers have far more choices than ever before — but they also need some basic knowledge to make an informed decision.
The term "synthetic” refers to man-made materials whose chemical and physical properties closely match those of their natural counterparts. As for the metaphysical qualities of synthetic stones, that remains an open discussion. Yet one truth remains — everything is energy. Every object carries its own vibration and influence. You don’t need anyone to tell you what feels right; you can sense it yourself.
After all, isn’t color alone powerful enough to transform one’s aura or mood? Every stone that attracts you is your stone — the right one for your creation, the pure expression of your artistic inspiration.
