一魚兩吃不奇怪🐟 一石兩色人人愛❤
黃光 白光 紅變綠🚥 變色寶石看不厭✨

川劇變臉不稀奇,寶石變色更珍稀!由於亞歷山大變石的關係,各種變色寶石在台灣市場已備受注意。

凡黃光與白光下顏色落差明顯達兩色相以上時,就可稱為變色寶石,且變色現象對比越明顯則品質越好。

除了眾所周知的金綠寶石品種(亞歷山大石)以外,變色螢石、變色水鋁石、變色藍寶石和變色石榴石等都是很受歡迎的品種。

變色螢石以藍-紫變色極為明顯著稱,雖硬度較低但也是藏家的最愛;變色水鋁石算後起之秀,變色效果一般弱至中等,變色強的極為強手;變色剛玉變色效果一般弱至中等,因屬剛玉名門,明顯變色者價值不低;變色石榴石的變色種類與效應強弱變化極大,價格落差也大,值得一提的是其變色可能如亞歷山大石一般;變色寶石的王者當然屬亞歷山大石,但收藏以變色效應明顯為佳,變色不明確,即使有證書也未必是市場主流。

要當個聰明的消費者,千萬別只是買一張證書而不看寶石的好壞喔!
