What are the characteristics of modern crystal carving ornaments?

With a variety of crystal ornaments, sculptures, handicrafts are frequently appearing in the public eye, we are no longer too strange for the crystal. The argument for modern crystals is the result of the classification of the production age. Natural crystals are widely distributed, and they are produced all over the world. The output is relatively large. The price was not expensive before the 1980s. It is the most common raw material for jewelry stones and carving crafts.

The varieties of modern crystal crafts are still jewellery, ornaments, real products, etc. There is no breakthrough in variety.

Crystal jewellery is a low-grade bulk product. Many crystal jewellery stones use a highly technical facet grinding method. Amethyst jewelry is a best-selling product. Due to limited production, many of them are artificial amethyst. In addition, the amethyst can be changed into a green bag after heating, because there is no green in the natural crystal, generally posing as tourmaline (tourmaline).

Hair crystals or twins are unique because they have special inclusions, and they can be used as furnishings when polished. They are also found on the market.

Under the demand of the market, some crystal varieties have developed rapidly. For example, crystal carving ornaments, ancient crystal carving ornaments are all small items, and the size is not large. The reason is that the ancient production of crystal sculpture pendulum is holding the crystal material in the water stool with both hands. It is impossible to make large parts because of the limitations of tools. Modern electric shaft drills (snake-skin drills) are used to carry out engraving on large blocks of crystals by means of moving tools to make large-scale ornaments. In addition, modern crystal carving ornaments also have different characteristics from ancient ones in terms of subject matter and materials.

Due to the development of modern science and technology, artificial crystals also have great development. Artificial crystals are produced by hydrothermal methods. The crystals that were originally produced are colorless and transparent because they are much more expensive than natural crystals. Their main purpose is to make electronic components and not to make handicrafts and crafts. Later, people invented the color artificial crystal, the price is very low, widely used to produce substitutes for middle-grade gemstones. Only man-made amethyst and natural amethyst are among the artificial color crystals. They are all of the same nature and difficult to identify. Currently, only infrared absorption spectroscopy is the only discriminating method, because the cost is high, and the measurement technique is also very complicated and has no practical value.

In addition, there are artificial quartz glass, its appearance and artificial colorless transparent water is also very similar, because the manufacturing process is more difficult, the price is relatively expensive, usually used to make high-end crafts.
