Carat

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Aquamarine carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that Aquamarine is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Aquamarine is glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Aquamarine. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Aquamarine, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Aquamarine from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Aquamarine. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Aquamarine. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.
