The distinguishing features of natural and Synthetic
Green sapphires cut dark blue protolith to show the multidirectional color of green or blue-green on the front, then natural green sapphires can be formed.
Ruby [1] , which means corundum of a red color, is a type of corundum and consists primarily of aluminum oxide (AL 2O 3) . The red color comes from chromium (CR) , mainly Cr2O3, the content is generally 0.1 ~ 3% , the highest is 4% . Containing Fe, Ti and blue said Sapphire, non-chromium CR color of other colors of corundum also collectively known as Sapphire.
TSAVORITE (TSAVORITE) chemical name is chrome vanadium calcium aluminum garnet, because contains trace amounts of chromium and vanadium, delicate Emerald Green, pleasing to the eye. Kenya’s Shafe National Park was discovered by geologist Campbell Brydges in the late 1960s.
Gem bound all kinds of gem grade corundum beyond ruby are called sapphire. Sapphire mineral name for corundum, corundum group minerals.

The common color of diopside is blue-green to yellow-green, brown, yellow, purple, colorless to white. Luster for glass luster. If chromium is present in diopside, the mineral has a green tinge, so diopside gems are often confused with other gems such as yellow-green olivine, (green) tourmaline, and chrysoberite, which of course depend on other physical differences between the minerals to distinguish them.
Cordierite is a silicate mineral, usually light blue or light purple, glassy luster, transparent to translucent. Cordierite also has the characteristic of being remarkably polychromatic (tricolor), emitting light of different colors in different directions. Cordierite is usually cut into traditional shapes, and the most popular color is blue-purple.
Citrine varies in color from yellow to light brown and is easily confused with citrine. The yellow color in citrine is due to the presence of iron oxide in water. Natural citrine is scarce and produced in few places, with only Brazil and Madagascar producing high-quality Citrine in limited quantities.
Black SPINEL, from it comes out, the output is self-evident, how many hundreds of millions, most of these will not be done by hand inlaid finished products, generally using wax inlaid technology to solve the inlaid, black spinel electroplating equipment requirements are higher, in general, the aging of some equipment or the improper treatment temperature of skilled workers will cause the coloration of black spinel caused by electroplating.
The color changing Sapphire in Corundum is real, it will appear different colors in different light, also known as color changing corundum or color treasure, the color change is expected to be caused by the chrome element in corundum.

Aquamarine quality is evaluated from color, clarity, cut and weight. Pure color, no gray, no dichroism, thick and bright color of the highest value. Some aquamarine with directional inclusions can be processed into cat’s eye effect or starlight effect, and aquamarine with special optical effect is more expensive. Aquamarine with the same color, clarity and cut is more valuable if it weighs more.
