7 spôsobov, ako rozlíšiť diamant od fianitu v prsteni alebo náušniciach

Fianit sa často označuje ako umelý diamant. Nie je to celkom pravda: podľa chemického zloženia je diamant kubická alotropická forma uhlíka, zatiaľ čo fianit je oxid zirkoničitý. Získali ho sovietski vedci z Fyzikálneho ústavu akadémie vied Lebedeva (FIAN) na vytvorenie laserového zariadenia. Ukázalo sa však, že tento brilantný minerál našiel svoje uplatnenie v úplne inej oblasti - v šperkárstve. Jediné, čo zdedil po svojom predchodcovi inštitúte, bol jeho názov. Od 90. rokov sa fianit začal aktívne používať pri výrobe šperkov. To spôsobilo bežným ľuďom pomerne veľa ťažkostí: nie vždy je totiž možné vizuálne rozlíšiť drahý kameň od umelého minerálu. Ako rozoznať fianit od diamantu Metóda 1: hľadanie "chýb" pomocou lupy Prírodné kamene majú vždy malé inklúzie. Gemológovia rozlišujú 4 ich typy: bodky, zhluky bodiek, dutiny a pierka.

And some of the most popular now are the marvelously beautiful brown-colored diamonds called Coqnac. Look closely at such a champagne-colored diamond, and you will think that you are looking at a champagne glass with sunlight penetrating through its honey-colored thickness. Turn the stone sideways and a new and stunning hue will appear inside the stone.

Yellow diamond

At the mention of diamonds, we most often imagine the classics - colorless round-cut stones. In fact, everything is more interesting: there are not only different shapes of diamonds, but also many fancy colors, which are not inferior in attractiveness to the usual variants. An example is yellow diamonds. They are not as rare as, for example, pink or blue ones, but they are much less numerous than colorless ones.

Fig. 1. Earrings and rings with a yellow diamond

The yellow color in stones arises due to the nitrogen content: the more intensively the carbon from which the diamond is formed absorbs nitrogen, the more pronounced the hue becomes. The other properties of yellow diamonds are the same as those of colorless diamonds. They are just as strong and reflect light rays.

And if, for example, black diamonds do not have a clarity rating (it's simple - you can see nothing in them anyway), yellow …

How to tell the difference between a moissanite and a diamond.

The mysterious moissanite is called the "little brother" of the diamond. What is this stone, how to distinguish mouassanite from a diamond and which of the variants of inserts to prefer - we will deal with in our article. Moissanite - what is it Moissanite - silicon carbide (carborundum), which was discovered in 1893 by the Frenchman Henri Moissan and was named after the scientist. Natural moissanite is rare on Earth: it can be found in corundum deposits, kimberlite rock and some meteorites. The rarity of moissanite is due to the fact that its formation requires extremely high temperature and high pressure, which coincide these two factors in Earth conditions very rarely. Due to its rarity and small size, natural moissanite has no jewelry value. But seeing the potential in this stone scientists created an artificial one. Its production began in the late 80s of the XX century, and since the 90s artificial moissanite has been used in the jewelry industry. It is even called an ana…
