Collecting tips
- Source Verification. When purchasing, inquire about the origin and treatment of individual gemstones. Natural Citrine is rarer than heat-treated Amethyst, and Aquamarine can be heat-treated to enhance color.
- Quality Assessment. Examine each stone for clarity, color saturation, and cut quality. For Jasper, look for interesting patterns and vibrant colors.
- Distinguishing Natural vs. Synthetic/Treated. Be aware that some gemstones can be synthetic or treated. Natural Citrine is often pale yellow; deep orange-brown citrine is frequently heat-treated amethyst. Aquamarine's blue can be enhanced by heat. Jasper is generally not synthesized but can be dyed.
