Product description
Strand of semi-precious stone beads SYNTHETIC TURQUOISE in an oval shape.
Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is no longer a simple task. We are now faced with a wide variety of unfamiliar materials. By chance, people in ancient times discovered that "treating” gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Today, methods of manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly sophisticated. Crystals are cultivated to replicate the chemistry, structure, and characteristics of naturally occurring ones. Natural origin can no longer be taken for granted. Laboratories and factories around the world now produce an astonishing range of materials that are sold in the gemstone market.
These synthetic and treated materials offer an immense variety of products and price ranges. There are now far more options available, but a basic understanding is essential to make an informed choice. The term "synthetic” refers to man-made materials whose chemical and physical properties match those of the natural stones they imitate.
As for the metaphysical qualities of synthetic materials, that remains an open discussion. However, we know that everything is energy — every object carries its own vibration and influence. We don’t need anyone to tell us; we can feel that energy ourselves. After all, isn’t color alone enough to transform someone’s aura or mood?
Every stone that draws you in is your stone — the right one for your creation, the perfect expression of your artistic inspiration.
