Authentic Gemstone Identification: A Comprehensive Guide

Question
Dear Sir,

Is there any method to identify real stones like ruby, emerald, and other

Answer
HI VISHAL,

THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO IDENTIFY REAL GEM STONES. AND MOST ARE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER. EACH TYPE OF GEM MATERIAL HAS ITS OWN SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT WILL POSITIVELY IDENTIFY IT. THERE ARE SOME GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SOME REAL STONES, i.e. MINERALS FORMING IN A CRYSTAL SYSTEM ARE COOL TO THE HUMAN TOUCH, MOST GEM MATERIALS ARE HARDER THAN GLASS, etc. CERTAIN COLORS LIKE RED MAKE A RUBY AND NOT A RED SAPPHIRE, AND DEEP GREENS MAKE AN EMERALD AN EMERALD AND NOT JUST GREEN BERYL. I COULD GO ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME ON GEM STONES. I GUESS THAT IS WHAT MAKES SOME FOLKS LIKE ME A GEMOLOGIST. IT IS A LONG AND EXITING JOURNEY THROUGH THE GEM WORLD.
