I was in Sri Lanka in September 2013, together with a local guide we traveled around a bunch of shops and so-called factories.

The question is really naive, I have been studying this for forty years, but I can’t always distinguish synthetics without a microscope. Alas, science does not stand still, the Chinese have learned to make amazing fakes. Therefore, a guarantee of quality is a state store, a factory where they cut, usually there are shops with them. Try to get the simplest reference book on mineralogy in the library, read it, go to the university to the department of mineralogy, usually my colleagues reciprocate ... Farther...
