🔍💎 3. Tips to Spot Fake vs Real Gemstones

✅ Real Gemstone Signs

Weight: 

Natural stones feel heavier.

Inclusions: Natural imperfections or lines are common.

Cool to touch: 

Real stones feel cold.

No perfect repeat pattern: 

Real agates and crystals have unique natural patterns.

Transparency: 

Natural stones usually have varying clarity, not “perfect glass” look.

❌ Fake Stone Red Flags

Too perfect or shiny: 

Often glass or plastic.

Feels light or warm: 

Plastic imitations.

Price too cheap: 

Real stones have some value, even if semi-precious.

Scratch easily: 

Real gemstones are generally hard and won’t scratch easily.

🛠️ Bonus Tip:

Use a 'jeweler’s loupe' (magnifier) or take the stone to a certified gemologist for real verification.
