Natural Crystals | Fake Crystals (Glass, Plastics, Acrylic, etc.) | |||
Temperature | Typically cooler to the touch due to natural mineral properties. Exceptions | Often warmer at room temperature, especially plastic and acrylic versions. | ||
Transparency | Contain imperfections like fractures, veils, clouds, or mineral inclusions (e.g., mica in aventurine, pyrite in lapis lazuli). | Usually free of inclusions, typically uniform in appearance without flaws. | ||
Inclusions | Varies greatly, with some crystals having zoning or cloudiness. Clarity can range from fully transparent to opaque. | Typically too perfect in terms of clarity, overly clear or uniformly smooth. | ||
Weight | Denser and therefore heavier, e.g., quartz and obsidian. | Lighter in weight compared to natural stones. | ||
Color | Colors are often varied with natural zoning, fading, or mixing of different tones. | Uniform and sometimes unnaturally bright. Dye marks or overly even coloring are indications of fakes. | ||
Appearance | Subtle imperfections like slight color zoning, uneven surfaces, and visible imperfections. | Uniform appearance with no visible imperfections. Surfaces are overly smooth with perfect symmetry. | ||
Hardness | Specific hardness based on Mohs scale; high-hardness crystals should not easily scratch. | May scratch easily if made of softer materials like plastic, resin, or glass. | ||
Luster | Subtle or varied luster; polished stones may have a waxy, vitreous, or silky appearance. | Often too glossy or shiny. Glass-based fakes are highly reflective, plastic versions may have an artificial sheen. | ||
Bubbles | Generally not present. If present, they are extremely small and not perfectly round. | Bubbles are a common giveaway for glass fakes; visible and evenly distributed. | ||
Surface Texture | May have slight ridges, graininess, or textural variation. Faceted stones may show small natural cracks. | Uniformly smooth texture. Patterns are consistent and repetitive, lacking natural variability. | ||
Veining & Patterns | Often uneven and varies in thickness. | Consistent and repetitive veining or patterns, lacking natural irregularities. | ||
Sound | Produces a resonant ‘clinking’ sound when tapped together due to hardness and density. | Produces a dull or muted sound (plastic or resin) or a sharper sound compared to natural crystals (glass). |
