Authentic Amethyst: How to Tell if Your Gem is Real

How to Tell if Your Amethyst Gem is Authentic. Amethyst is a popular purple gemstone, but it can be difficult to determine if it's real or fake. To spot fake amethyst, you can examine the gem's color, clarity, and cut. Authentic amethyst should have a consistent purple color with slight variations, be mostly clear with no visible inclusions, and have a smooth and polished cut. Look for imperfections like color zoning, bubbles, and cracks, as real amethyst will have slight wear and tear. You can also test the gem's specific gravity, which should be around 2.65 for real amethyst. Additionally, check its hardness by seeing if it's scratch resistant to objects with a lower hardness scale. If you're still unsure, it may be best to have a professional assess your amethyst.
