How to choose spodumene

The value of spodumene can be considered from three factors:

Color

At present, it is more common in the market to have a lighter color of spodumene. Unfortunately, the color is not stable. If exposed to strong light or high temperature, the color will quickly fade. This is because of the crystallization of spodumene. Therefore, the more intense the color, the purer the interior of the spodumene, the more collectible value, and the color is stable. The color can be more than the emerald green chromite spodumite. If you are lucky enough, you must fight for income.

2. Cutting

The spodumene has obvious trichromaticity, and the trichromaticity means that the gemstones can be seen in different directions and can see different colors. Purple spodumene shows purple, pink and color in different directions. So in terms of craftsmanship, the jewelry cutter will choose the precious color of the gemstones that people love and the precious color direction of the gem itself as a countertop polishing. Therefore, the spodumene which is thick and pure on the countertop, which looks transparent inside and has a precise intersection of the facets is the best.

3. Weight

In general, gem-quality spodumene usually exceeds 1 carat weight. It is not uncommon for more than 5 carats. Bare stones generally reach 10-30 carats in the market. If you want to collect more than 30 carats. The spodumene is only available. If you choose to wear it, it is better to choose 10 carats or less.

Collection and maintenance of spodumene

1. Do not go to places with high UV intensity

The color of spodumene is unstable. If it is exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time or is strongly heated, it will cause it to fade. If you are going to the island for travel or high temperature exercise, you should take the spodumene. But if it coincides with the night banquet, it becomes a weapon for you to catch your eye.

2. Avoid the impact of spodumene

Spodumene is easily cracked along the cleavage by external force. The so-called cleavage means that the different crystallographic directions of the gemstone lead to the directionality of its mechanical properties. The bond strength between the face and the face with the strongest bond strength is the weakest, and the degree of cleavage also determines the durability of the gemstone. Spodumene has two sets of cleavage, so it should be placed in the jewelry box when you don't need to wear it on weekdays to avoid falling impact.
