1 ordinary no rainbow eye obsidian

This type of obsidian has the largest output and is the most common type of obsidian on the market. It is the lower grade of obsidian, with the largest output and lowest price. But there are also bad businesses that use stained glass to act as a black stone (generally a large engraving, which is characterized by a lot of gray spots/spots/bands under the light). These two types of fakes are not for the expert. The difficulty is very big, the best way is: less contact with no rainbow light obsidian.

1 rainbow eye (light) obsidian

Such obsidian is of good quality, and the surface has a natural colored circle, which is superior to color. The rainbow eye is relative to obsidian beads, such as bracelets or small pieces such as obsidian gourd. Rainbow eyes are concentric; rainbow light is relative to obsidian carvings, which does not appear to be round One piece, such as enamel carving pendants, etc. Rainbow eyes such as double rainbow eyes (that is, one on each side of the beads) are full and large, the light shines as good, as the crescent is second; the rainbow light, then the reflection must be Flash can be called good, if it is not flashing, it can only be a rainbow of general quality.

But it is not that there are rainbow eyes (light) must be the best, because the rainbow eye (light) also has a good difference. The most common rainbow eye is the dead eye / matte (commonly known as dead fish eyes, themselves What is the life of the dead fish eye under the imagination of Lenovo?) The characteristic of the dead eye is not only black but also white/purple/yellow/green part, but this part of the color is not active. The light will not flash against the light, giving the impression that it is dead.

3 gold obsidian

A variety of obsidian, the color of the gold obsidian is as bright as the craystone. In general, the Wujin Obsidian is rarer than the cat's eye obsidian, and the market value is also high. As for the quality of the meteorite, it has to be said. Generally, the golden meteorite itself should not be too dark, which affects the appearance of gold. Secondly, the gold dots on the golden meteorite should be evenly distributed and evenly distributed. (If uneven, it will cause the gold here to be black, then there will be a painted face. The feeling, directly affects the beauty), and finally the sentence: get flash! The light of the golden meteorite is easier to see than the rainbow eye, generally can be seen outside, not like the rainbow light to the strong point of light, This is also the reason why the meteorite is more popular.

4 ice type obsidian

There are two types of ice obsidian, one is translucent obsidian without rainbow light. The purchase of this kind of ice obsidian must have an authoritative certificate, because some unscrupulous merchants on the market sell fake, the general fake obsidian color light tea is a bit hair The yellow one, the other is the translucent obsidian of the rainbow rainbow eye. In technical terms, obsidian is actually a kind of natural glass. It is transparent when it is very pure! It is opaque because it is doped with other impurities when it is formed. This impurity is mainly iron box manganese. Oxide. Ice obsidian is a new thing, so many people still don't understand it.

Obsidian belongs to the middle and low grade gemstones. There will not be too many unscrupulous traders to fake, but for the high-grade varieties in the obsidian, such as ice obsidian and rainbow obsidian, there are still unscrupulous merchants who use glass to get away with it, for the obscurant lovers. Interest, Xiao Bian is a brief introduction to the authenticity identification method of Obsidian.

Obsidian wearing small common sense

Obsidian is extremely evil, and it can reinforce negative energy. In ancient Chinese Buddhist relics, there are quite a lot of obsidian or Buddha statues about town houses or evil spirits. However, please note that obsidian itself can absorb a large amount of negative energy, but it will not be removed. Therefore, it is necessary to purify obsidian within a certain period of time. It is generally recommended that obsidian should wear the right hand. All crystals are almost all wearing the left hand. The obsidian is the right hand. Because according to the ancient Chinese method, it is generally the principle of left and right. Therefore, the left hand is Intake and the right hand is exhaust, the right hand wearing black sputum helps to absorb its negative energy, including relatively unclean things or illness, or even bad luck.
