The difference between natural, treated and synthetic semiprecious stones - complete guide for the correct choice

Natural semiprecious stones are crystals that were formed by authentic geological processes, inside the terrestrial bark, over millions or even billions of years. They represent the result of precise combinations of pressure, temperature, mineral compounds and time.

Every natural stone is UNIQUE - A work of mineral art. Can have Inclusions, small cracks, lighter or darker areas - all these features being signs of its authentic origin.

Energy, these stones are considered the most pure and efficient in crystallotherapy practices. They are used in:

• meditation;

• balance of chakras;

• energy protection grids;

• rituals of spiritual cleaning;

• jewelry with the role of emotional or energy support.

What really differentiates a natural semiprecious stone is The vibration alive, unaltered, which cannot be replicated by artificial means.

Treated stones are natural semiprecious stones that have passed through artificial procedures meant to change their appearance. These treatments are frequently used in the industry to make stones more visually or resistant.

The most common treatments include:

• Thermal treatment (Heat Treatment): used to intensify the color or change the shade of the stone. The treated amethyst can become citrine.

• dyeing (Dying): Applied especially to agate, quartz or jasp, to obtain intense, unnatural colors.

• irradiation: used to change color (eg natural topaz becomes electric blue).

• Covering with metal vapors: technique that offers rainbow effects (eg quartz aura).

• stabilizing: in porous stones, such as turquoise, to prevent cracking.

These treatments can change not only the visual appearance but also the subtle vibration of the stone. Therefore, for use for energy purposes, it is important that the treatments are clearly mentioned and the choice is informed.

Synthetic semiprecious stones are artificial creations, made in the laboratory. They can perfectly imitate the visual look of natural stones but have not been formed naturally, but through technological processes that accelerate the formation of crystals.

Examples of synthetic stones include:

• ruby or chemically created sapphire;

• Cubic zirconia (often confused with the diamond);

• colored glass marketed as a "quartz";

• artificial plastic crystals or composite materials.

Although they can be beautiful as decorative jewelry, these stones do not have subtle energy specific to natural stones And they are not recommended in crystallotherapy, rituals or energy practices.
