Danburite Quality
Danburite, due to its appearance, has a great demand among jewelry lovers and jewelry designers. Few parameters help in judging the quality of Danburite and based on these parameters only the real value of a gemstone is calculated. The following parameters are as follows -
-
Color
: Danburite gem usually occurs as a colorless stone. However, sometimes it also occurs in colors such as pink, yellow, tan, etc. The colorless or the White Danburite is generally faceted and used for jewelry. Due to its resemblance to Diamonds, it is often used as a Diamond alternative in curating gemstone jewelry. This colorless variety of Danburite is considered the most valuable and thus holds a higher price. -
Cut
: A properly and skillfully cut Danburite will display brilliant luster and will also hide any visible flaws, inclusions, or surface errors. Such specimens of Danburite gemstones are considered to be of a higher quality. However, the process of faceting involves the wastage of a gemstone, thus leading to an increase in its price. Professionally faceted Danburite demands a higher price as compared to a simple shaped Danburite stone. -
Clarity
: Danburite gemstones with zero to minimum visible inclusions are considered to be of the highest quality. Inclusions in Danburite gemstones mostly occur as fingerprints and thus it is always recommended to find an eye-clean crystal to confirm its quality. An eye-clean Danburite is generally considered to be of the topmost quality and therefore, sells for a higher price as compared to Danburite gemstones with visible inclusions. -
Carat Weight
: Bigger Danburite gemstones have a higher carat weight and therefore sell for a higher price. However, the number of visible inclusions will also increase with its size, and moreover, it is quite difficult to find large pieces of the Danburite. Therefore, Danburite gemstones with smaller sizes but good clarity will hold a higher price than bigger specimens with visible inclusions.

Buyer Beware
Danburite Buyer Beware Guidelines
Danburite has become one of the most desirable gemstones and therefore, imitations of this gemstone are circulating in the gemstone market. Fake Danburite gemstones are generally treated by adding colors to improve the color and clarity of the gemstone. The imitations are done so perfectly that it becomes extremely difficult for the buyer to point out any differences. These fake gemstones do not maintain the quality standards of an authentic Danburite and therefore, one should not invest in these fake gemstones. If the buyer is not aware of how to differentiate between a real and fake Danburite gemstone, then they should always ask for a report from a reputed Gemological Laboratory or a certificate that proves that the Danburite gemstone is authentic. To identify the authenticity of the Danburite, the customer can cross-check the report number on the Gem Lab certificate from the Gem Lab website or the company lab. If both the report numbers are alike, then it is an authentic Danburite gemstone certification.
We at GemPundit provide a Gem Lab Certification for every gemstone we sell. This allows a buyer to confirm that the stone is real by cross-checking the certificate details directly from the Gem Laboratory.
