Crystal is one of the more common minerals in nature. Some crystal ornaments are often seen in the market, such as crystal bracelets, pendants, earrings and so on. Only from the appearance, some high-quality crystals look very bright and pure, which makes some people mistakenly think they are diamonds, but in fact, the difference between crystals and diamonds is not small. Let's take a look at the differences between crystals and diamonds.
The nature of diamonds
Diamond is commonly known as "diamond", which is composed of carbon and contains 96% - 99.9% C. As the hardest material, diamond has the highest Mohs hardness level, which can reach level 10. There will also be inclusions in diamonds, which can be divided into many types, which is one of the key factors affecting the quality of diamonds. Diamonds have many colors, such as common colorless transparent diamonds and colored diamonds in red, yellow, blue, green and brown.
How to distinguish between crystal and diamond
The biggest difference between diamonds and crystals is their hardness. Among the known natural products in the world, the hardness of diamonds is the highest, reaching level 10, but the Mohs hardness of crystals is only level 7. It can be seen that the hardness of crystals is much lower than that of diamonds. When distinguishing between crystal and diamond, we can judge by hardness: carve them with each other, and the scratch is crystal.
Or directly use the popular dripping method, oil test, scribing method, temperature test,, breath method and other detection methods to judge whether it is crystal or diamond; Professional instruments and equipment are generally not needed to distinguish crystal and diamond. Most professionals can identify them directly by naked eyes.
