Pay attention to three points when buying corals. One must be uniform in color.
Make is rare to confuse with other gem raw materials, because its unique appearance, structure and shape make it easy to identify.
The coral appearance is completely different from the somewhat color -like shell pearls. The luster of the shell pearl has a certain direction. When it is lowered, it shows an extremely flame. The white rosary with fake white corals with shell shells can be identified through the parallel growth structure on the shell and its pink band trends. The other identification of corals is a small and shallow round concave pit, which is the growth site of individual corals. Small concave pits caused by some perforated marine creatures can also exist.
The main substitutes for imitation corals are Buyan, wood and wax, none of them have a unique appearance of coral. When cellulite is heated, the camphor smell is produced. The wood can be scratched with fingernails, exposing the wooden structure under the artificial surface, and the sealing wax looks like a glass -like appearance under the magnifying glass. If necessary, you can use hydrochloric acid to identify these prolazes, because none of them will work with hydrochloric acid. Conversely, corals, shell pearls and shell shells react with hydrochloric acid.
