Amazonite on the Katlas beads e-shop
.
The results from the Gemologist and the forensic expert were a pleasant surprise, but also showed once again that Amazonite can be forged in China with great success.
.
The gemologist confirmed that the quartz beads that imitate Amazonite are indeed just quartz. And we know for a fact that even the beads that are pale blue in color and could confuse the average person with the descriptions on the eshops are not even Microklin beads, but are a variety of quartz.
.
Imitations made of the so-called Chinese Amazonite, which is often on AliExpress and Czech e-shops sold as beads made of real Aquamarine, are again made of quartz. Chinese quartz imitates Amazonite beads very faithfully. They are easily confused with Amazonite of inferior quality. And without spectrometer measurements, and most importantly confirmation by a Gemologist, the fake mineral cannot be identified with the naked eye.
Which Amazonites are confirmed by Gemologist as true Amazonites? What surprised us was that one Amazonite was enhanced by depth dyeing. Again, our varified and "reliable"supplier from China did not admit to this. Even our spectrometer measurements could not reveal this fact because the instrument cannot measure it. Therefore, we still had all the Amazonites, checked by a Gemologist and a forensic expert.
Watch the video until the end so you don't miss our recommendation.
