Carat

Crystal Quartz of at least 7 carats is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger Crystal Quartz are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Crystal Quartz rises as the size/weight/carat increases.

Clarity

In the case of sphatik stones, typically, they contain minor inclusions visible to the naked eye. Thus, sphatik stones with some inclusions are readily accepted, traded and used. Those with the least inclusions and best clarity are considered the best.

Dealers deal in quartz that is synthetic to natural but is treated/heated and colour enhanced, so you must buy only from a reputed dealer with certification from a reputable lab.

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Crystal Quartz?

The best way to check the authenticity of Crystal Quartz is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Crystal Quartz are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Crystal Quartz carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Crystal Quartz is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Crystal Quartz have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Crystal Quartz, but if you find flaws, then your Crystal Quartz is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Crystal Quartz are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Crystal Quartz. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Crystal Quartz, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Crystal Quartz 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 Crystal Quartz. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Crystal Quartz. 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.

Crystal Quartz Cleaning & Maintenance

It is essential to give your gemstone a thorough cleaning in order to preserve its purity and purge itself from negative energies as well.

Immerse your Clear Quartz gemstone in a glass of water, or hold it under running water for a period of time. Do not use salty water because the dissolved salt may permeate the stone and deteriorate it.

At night, place the crystal on a moonlit surface for an extended period of time. Ensure there is enough moonlight for maximum purification. The recommended moon cycles include the full moon, waxing Gibbous, and waning Gibbous.
