The easiest way to identify garnet is to look at the weight, transparency and hardness.

1, look at the weight

You can look at the weight to distinguish garnet, the real garnet density is higher, so it will be heavier, put in the hand there will be a kind of give a sense of heaviness, and false density is lower, its weight will be lighter, put in the hand does not have that kind of feeling of heaviness.

2, look at the transparency

You can also distinguish garnets according to transparency, the real garnet is crystal clear, in the light of observation has a very obvious light absorption, while the fake is turbid, in the light and no obvious light absorption.

3, look at the hardness

Can also be based on the hardness to distinguish garnet, really because of the high density, so the hardness will be relatively high, while the fake is made after the synthetic, so the hardness is relatively low, and when used to scratch the surface can be very easy to leave scratches.

Garnet maintenance skills

1, do not contact with chemicals

Wearing garnets do not contact cosmetics, toiletries, detergents and other additives to the chemical agent contact. If there is a stain on the surface of the garnet, it should be wiped with a softer white cotton cloth.

2, carefully placed

Garnet when not wearing, should be cleaned, dry garnet alone and then put into the jewelry box, so as to avoid friction with other jewelry each other appear damage.

3, regular cleaning

Garnet should be regularly cleaned, garnet because of long-term wear will be attached to the human body secretion of oil, so that the surface of the garnet is easy to adsorption of dust, and lead to garnet become dull, so the need for garnet for regular cleaning.

4, avoid contact with acid and alkali substances

Because the garnet chemical is silicon dioxide, and silicon dioxide in contact with acid, alkaline substances can react to promote the corrosion of the garnet, so usually try to avoid contact with acid and alkali objects when wearing.
