Orange coral imitation (Glass) and its identification

Decoding Coral Imitations: A Closer Look

Initial Impression vs. Detailed Analysis

While initially resembling natural red coral with growth lines, a thorough examination under a microscope reveals the true nature of this material as a coral imitation.

Identifying Features of Imitation

1. Fiber-like Inclusions: White fiber-like inclusions, elongated in shape, are present in the material, giving it a deceptive resemblance to coral at a glance.
2. Surface Treatment: The material has been merely sanded with #600 grit or fine grain sandpaper, lacking the deliberate polish characteristic of genuine coral.
Feel free to share this insightful post with your friends to help them distinguish between genuine coral and its imitations!
