Pay attention to the following points when buying crystals:
1. Basically, natural and clear crystals are high-grade goods, but the price is high and the quantity is small. Beginners should try not to touch it until they have accumulated enough experience. You can buy some crystals with ice cracks, clouds and inclusions, because these crystals are not easy to synthesize artificially.
2. It should be noted that pure and transparent crystals are easy to be artificially synthesized, and the bigger they are, the easier it is to make fakes; If you look at the crystal contents with a high magnification magnifying glass, if there are bubbles, it may also be an artificial crystal.
3. Transparent white crystals, amethyst and topaz are mostly cultivated crystals, especially necklaces engraved with Buddha statues and scriptures. Pay special attention when buying.
4. Hair crystals, all kinds of phantom crystals, crystal columns, crystal flowers, crystal caves, crystal clusters, raw ore and synthetic products are few, so you can buy them with confidence. When buying crystal caves, crystal strings and raw ore, we should still pay attention to whether they have been repaired, especially crystal caves, which often have traces of repair. It is not difficult to see.
5. When buying powder crystal, if the powder crystal color is too bright and uniform, it is very likely to be dyed, and powder crystal dyeing is very common.
When he held it, the crystal stone felt very cold. If it is synthetic or acrylic or glass, it feels warm when he holds it.
7. If your hand pulse is unobstructed, you'd better use the method of sensing energy directly. Although everything has energy, but the energy of crystal stone ore is more powerful, you can know it in your hand. Note: the price of crystal is not very high either. If it is not natural, it means the price is high. Swarovski is an artificial crystal, not natural.
Luodian is one of the regions with the richest crystal reserves in China.
Guizhou is known as "eight mountains, one water and one field", and various national cultures decorate this plateau and mountainous area with colorful colors. Few people know how many amazing things there are in this hot land of Guizhou. In the depths of this beautiful and quaint mountain, who would have thought that Guizhou would have so many things that occupy the top of the country or even the top of the world? This discovery is amazing.
Luodian County, Guizhou Province is located in the southern margin of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, bordering Guangxi. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains are overlapping, canyons and underground rivers crisscross, the geological structure is complex, and the mineral resources are rich and diverse. It is one of the "three major crystal producing areas" in China, and the existing crystal reserves in Gong Li mining area rank first in the province and the whole country.
According to the introduction of "China Natural Resources Series", "Guizhou special non-metallic minerals are the first to promote crystals ... mainly produced in Luodian archway". Our people have a long history of using crystals. Li Mingzhizhen wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica" and said, "Wearing crystal can clear liver and improve eyesight, nourish the heart, please the skin color and benefit the hair." Crystal is a kind of "gem". According to scientific tests, it contains trace elements that are indispensable to human body, and is made into jewelry, which is good for health if worn for a long time.
Luodian is one of the regions with the richest crystal reserves in China. Buyi people who lived by the Hongshui River more than 500 years ago called the crystal "the eye of the earth" and gave it as a precious gift to relatives and friends. Luodian crystal is famous for its many strange shapes and is one of the famous specialties in Guizhou. It is mainly distributed in Bedwell in Fengting Town, Lagan and Lama in Gouting Township, Guoshizhai in Russell and Baixi in Yungang Township. There are crystal strings, single crystals, flocking buttons, crystal eyes and so on.
The crystal stone produced by the archway of Chuangjing Village, Fengting Town, Luodian County is "rich in reserves, various in types, large in particles, bright in color, ingenious in shape and extremely high in grade." Be favored by collectors. On the second floor of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, two armed PLA men guarded a large crystal cluster called "Crystal King" day and night. The "king" in this crystal was born here.
Crystal is an ancient gem variety, which is known as "Water Mirror", "Water Jade", "King of Bodhisattva", "Millennium Ice" and "Guang Guang Stone". Modern science has proved that rock crystals have "piezoelectric effect" and "pyroelectric characteristics" When pressurized or rubbed, high-frequency current will be generated; On the other hand, high-frequency oscillation will occur after electrifying, and both of them will produce some kind of "field effect". The crystal is cut and polished into handicrafts, which further strengthens this feature. Wearing a crystal necklace for a long time has a magical effect on preventing and treating bronchitis and mastitis (cancer) and enhancing heart strength.
How to distinguish crystal from ordinary glass
Ordinary people easily confuse crystal with ordinary glass when buying crystal, so how to distinguish crystal from ordinary glass? Here are some tips:
1. Listen: When you tap with your middle finger, the sound of ordinary glassware is dull, while the sound of crystal ware is brittle and metallic. The harder the crystal, the louder the sound.
2. Gloss: Compared with sunlight, the colorful light reflected by high-quality crystal is bright in color, and the transition light is very natural and rich. The color of glass refraction is often incomplete and dull. Compared with natural light, high-quality crystal has high transparency and is crystal white, while ordinary glass or impure crystal will be yellow or mixed with cyan.
3. Pattern: For crystals with the same color, the higher the artificial refinement of the pattern, the more detailed and complex the pattern formation in a small area, and the higher the value. When touched by hand, the surface of manual pattern has a rough feeling of pricking hands, while the surface of machine-made pattern is smooth.
4. Usage: Because the hardness of crystal is much higher than that of ordinary glass, it often won't get dirty after long-term use, while glass is easy to be scratched and its surface gets dirty after repeated use for a long time. After the identification is clear, all you have to do is to carefully check whether the whole product is in good condition, whether the appearance is flawed, and whether the surface is smooth and meticulous.
The maintenance of the crystal is extremely simple, as long as it is washed with clear water or wiped off the floating soil with a semi-wet cloth in time after use; As for the floating soil on the small crystal ornaments, you only need to blow it, and you don't need to rub it to prevent the surface of the crystal from pilling. In addition, due to the high hardness and low toughness of the crystal, it is easy to be damaged by violent impact, so try to avoid bumping when using it at ordinary times. Also pay attention to avoid using alkaline, acidic and alcohol cleaners to avoid corrosion. Wares such as ashtrays should be heated as little as possible to avoid oxidative damage.
The purchase and maintenance of crystal
Selection and purchase
Ordinary people easily confuse crystal with ordinary glass when buying crystal, so how to distinguish crystal from ordinary glass? Here are some tips:
1. Listen: When you tap with your middle finger, the sound of ordinary glassware is dull, while the' sound' of crystal utensils is crisp and metallic. The harder the crystal, the louder the sound.
2. Gloss: Compared with sunlight, the colorful light refracted by high-quality crystal is bright and the transition light is very natural and rich, while the color refracted by glass is often incomplete and dim. Compared with natural light, high-quality crystal has high transparency and is crystal white, while ordinary glass or impure crystal will be yellow or mixed with cyan.

How to understand the physical therapy and health care function of crystal
According to the viewpoint of modern science, the physical therapy and health care function of crystal can be understood from the following aspects:
First, crystals have a special "piezoelectric effect". After the flawless crystal single crystal is processed into an ornament and worn on the human body, it rubs against the human body to generate a weak electromagnetic field, which has the functions of stabilizing emotions, promoting human energy concentration, relieving patients' pain and tension, and accelerating recovery. For example, the "crystal therapy" advocated by the American research center is to press the crystal on the injured part of the patient to play an auxiliary treatment role.
Secondly, from the optical characteristics of the crystal, the orthochromatic crystal of uniaxial crystal in triple crystal system has three optical axes. When it is finely cut and polished according to the orientation, the optical axis often produces certain light gathering and luminous functions, and when it stimulates a certain acupoint of the human body, it can produce certain physical therapy effects. The treatment of children's fractures and breast cancer with crystals reported abroad is based on this truth.
3. From the biogeochemical point of view, crystals, like other precious stones, are formed in a special geological tectonic environment and contain some trace elements beneficial to human body, such as iron, copper, manganese, Qin, zinc, nickel, diamond and selenium. Due to the underground radioactive irradiation when it was formed, the smoke crystal retained a small amount of radioactive elements (very small, harmless to human body, but similar to radiotherapy).
