  1. When buying jewelry, many friends often hear the word "rhinestone", and probably understands that it is imitation diamonds. In fact, rhinestones are only a collective name for imitation diamonds, and rhinestones have a lot of distinction. So what exactly is the so -called "rhinestone"? What is the difference between it and the real diamond? The following is the type of "rhinestone" that you usually see on the market:
    1, glass: fake diamonds made of glass are easy to distinguish, because its discount rate is low, and there is no real diamond flickering. Colorful light, a little experienced person knows at a glance. And this "rhinestone" is often used in cheaper jewelry.
    2, artificial spinel: It lacks the colorful light of the diamond, immersed it into the two iodine methane, and its outline will be blurred. The outline of the real diamond is very clear.
    3, artificial sapphire: colorless and transparent artificial sapphire can also be used as a substitute for diamonds after pondering. But it almost disappeared in the "iodine methane", and the edge of the real diamond was dark and very clear.
    4, crystal and yellow jade: The transparent crystals of these two natural minerals are similar to diamonds after thinking, but they lack the brilliant glory of diamonds. And they are all "non -homogeneous body", and diamonds are "homogeneous body", which is easier to distinguish with polarizers.
    5, vermiculite: Before the emergence of artificial cubic oxidation, vermiculite is the best diamond substitute. The vermiculite has a strong double refraction, that is, it has two discounts, and the difference between the two discounts is large. As a result, a very special optical phenomenon is generated. When observing the observed vermiculite edges and gems with a magnifying glass, it can be seen from its top surface that the bottom surface and ridgeline at the bottom are obvious. Because diamonds are "homogeneous body", there is no phenomenon.
    6, cubic oxidation (that is, "Soviet Diamond"): This is the most ideal diamond substitute or impersonal product launched by the original Soviet Union. It is an artificial compound and no natural mineral. Because cubic oxidation is close to natural diamonds in terms of discounts and scattered. However, its low hardness (8.5) is 1.6-1.7 times that of diamonds, up to 5.6-6, and the heat conduction is much lower than that of diamonds. Therefore, it can still be used to distinguish it with diamonds accurately.
    The finally understands the concept of "rhinestone". In addition to the glass in the "rhinestone", the most important thing about other "rhinestones" is to depend on gloss. Under normal circumstances, under the natural light, the glory of the diamond is incomparable with the "rhinestone" imitation (but there are exceptions, such as titanic acid fake diamonds and Mosangstone, even more than real diamonds). It is recommended that you buy it if you buy it in daily purchase or you should buy it or be purchased under the guarantee of certificates issued by a professional authority testing agency.
    The reference to "Diamond" Baidu Encyclopedia. The hardness of the artificial diamonds made by the United States reached 9.5 only 0.5 than the hardness of real diamonds.
