Buying natural gemstones online is an exciting experience, but ensuring their authenticity is crucial. At Silon Gems, we believe in 100% real, natural gemstones without dropshipping shortcuts meaning every piece is handpicked. If you are wondering how to verify if your gemstone is genuine, here is a simple guide to help you check authenticity before and after your purchase.
1. Look for Natural Inclusions (The Flaw Test)
Unlike synthetic or lab created stones that look suspiciously perfect, real natural gemstones almost always contain microscopic inclusions, tiny crystals, or growth lines. If a gemstone is completely flawless to the naked eye, it might actually be glass or synthetic.
2. The Temperature Test (Cold to the Touch)
Natural stones like Ruby, Sapphire, and Topaz are generally cold to the touch because they are good thermal conductors. When you hold a real gemstone in your hand, it takes a little while to warm up to your body temperature, whereas fake glass or plastic stones warm up almost instantly.
3. Check for Certification
The safest and most reliable way to guarantee a gemstone's authenticity is through a recognized gemological laboratory certificate. Always look for verified lab reports that detail the stone's origin, treatment status, and natural properties.
