How Will You Tell the Real Gem from the Fake? Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up…
Natural Hessonite Silver Ring
It is quite likely in any part of the world that one may invariable find garnets to be a part of jewelry that has been handed down generation to generation. It has been a popular gem throughout. The name garnet has been taken from the appearance of the garnet crystals that appear in a literal seed like arrangement, akin to that within a pomegranate.
Garnets as a species cover a wide variety and colors from alamandite, pyrope, uvarovite, demantoid, rhodolite etc. From a planetary gem therapy perspective, the most important garnet is hessonite garnet. It is a grossular garnet found in Srilanka as well as in some pockets of Brazil.
The world of gemstones is very complicated and even more so as the awareness regarding gems is very limited. Just to give you an idea, here are some of the look-alikes of the cinnamon stone – the hessonite garnet.
Brown zircon
Brown Zircon
The cognac like rich color is appreciated much in natural zircon.
Brown topaz

Madeira citrine

Named after the famous Portuguese Madeira wine, for its red brown, honeyed caramel color, this is a warm gemstone.
Coming to the real question – while these are just a few look-alikes, and if one throws in the glass imitations, the synthetics etc too. , how would you differentiate between the real and the other masquerading goods? The price for each species differs! Here is where the deeper factors like specific gravity, refractive index etc. of the materials come into play.

I really love the madeira citrine ring. The dark color makes this piece of jewelry very beautiful. Madeira citrine is unfortunately not so common to find, especially not as a pendant.
