The first crystals were discovered in 1839 in the vicinity of the city of Danbury (USA, Connecticut) by Charles Shepard, a professional field hockey player and participant in the Olympic Games. The find inscribed his name in the history of mineralogy.

• Real danburite exhibits a fluorescence effect under ultraviolet rays - the stone begins to glow blue or blue-green.
• If the mineral is heated over a fire, it will turn red.
• Natural danburite has a higher specific gravity compared to glass and lower thermal conductivity.

Some specimens of danburite have an external resemblance to citrine, apatite, tourmaline, and phenacite.

Natural danburite stone its magical properties and characteristics

Danburite stone

Danburites are not well known among ordinary people. For some time now, these stones have been known mostly to craftsmen and collectors. Jewelers love them for their similarity to topaz, excellent jewelry characteristics and beautiful shades.

The stone got its name from its location – Danbury. The mineral also has a second name – “Mexican diamond”. Despite the huge number of places where stone deposits are located, the mass of the mineral suitable for jewelry use is small, which is why the crystal is considered quite rare.

The prevalence of the stone could be increased by the boron contained in the rock, which is a popular substance on our planet, but due to numerous impurities and special characteristics, the stone does not appear in nature as often as craftsmen would like.

Danburite stones , due to their external characteristics, could easily be presented as imitations of topazes or diamonds. But the rarity of its occurrence and some other features do not allow the use of the stone in such a design.

Appearance

The color palette of the stone is not too extensive; it is usually a transparent shade, which often acts as an imitation of diamond, as well as yellow, brown, and orange colors. Possessing a vitreous luster, the mineral becomes incredibly shiny and radiant after polishing. Transparent by nature, danburites are often very similar to diamonds, but rarely become their analogues due to their considerable cost. The hardness of the stones also differs; danburites are only slightly softer than diamonds, being at the level of topaz.

An interesting feature of minerals is their ability to glow blue or turquoise in ultraviolet radiation. As the stone heats up, it begins to show a red color. These features make it possible to distinguish danburite from fakes and diamonds in laboratory conditions.

Treatment

Craftsmen love danburite for its ease of processing and malleability. The stone is usually cut into a brilliant cut, which brings it closer to a diamond, or fancy. The mineral is not afraid of complex types of cutting; on the contrary, it is in this type of processing that it is most often used. Some samples with defects, for example, with cracks, can be processed in the form of a cabochon, but this is rarely done, since the properties of the stone are leveled, its brilliance and beauty are eliminated.

Refinement is not applied to minerals too often. This can be the application of a thin layer of gold, which covers the stone with a film of iridescent golden-blue color. Pale specimens are sometimes irradiated to enhance the stone's hues. But usually with this type of improvement, the color of the mineral becomes unstable.

Application

Danburites are not often used in jewelry; rather, they are a collection stone that sometimes becomes part of jewelry. The beauty of the mineral makes it attractive to connoisseurs, and special examples of rare color, size or shape are awarded only to the best collections, the highest prices or a place in museums.

Danburite becomes a jewelry insert mainly to order. The hardness and transparency of the stone allows you to create magnificent products from it and cut it into the most complex types of cuts. Largely due to its brilliance and transparency, danburite resembles diamonds, and many seek to adorn themselves with such unique jewelry. The mineral can become part of a ring or pendant, brooch, bracelet, exquisite necklace, ring or earrings. Numerous types of processing allow you to create magnificent and complex products from crystal.

Using danburite as a diamond imitation is not entirely advisable, although sometimes it is still used in practice. Typically, the cost of a stone is equal to the price of diamonds, so replacement is carried out not for profit, but to create a unique piece of jewelry.

Another area of ​​application for danburite is industry. Stone serves as an excellent raw material for the creation of ceramics and glass products, for the production of protective coatings that are resistant to acids and chemicals. Similar coatings are used in the production of engine parts. Also, being a source of boron, danburite is used to extract compounds of this substance.

Magic properties

The stone seems to guide its owner, directing his mind to correct and reasonable thoughts and decisions. With the help of the mineral, you can develop your analytical abilities and strengthen your intuition. But the crystal will only help a person with good thoughts, but the stone can, on the contrary, hinder a bearer with greedy and unkind thoughts. The resistance of the mineral can manifest itself in a person’s malaise, poor health, and dizziness. If you have similar feelings when wearing danburite, check whether your thoughts are so pure. Otherwise, the stone may turn against its owner so much that it may even harm him.

Medicinal properties

A little-studied stone mainly helps only on a mental level. No special therapeutic properties of the mineral have yet been discovered. It is believed that danburite helps to calm down and tune into a calm mood. In this way, a person can get out of a negative state and improve his mood. Lithotherapists use the stone to treat diseases of a neurological and psychological nature.

Fakes

Counterfeits of danburite are not very common, but, being a rare and collectible stone, it still sometimes serves as an original for imitations. In many ways, danburite itself can become an imitation of topaz or diamond. This happens rarely, but in this case you can distinguish a fake in the following ways:

• If danburite is confused with a diamond, you can try to scratch the stone with a diamond, since its hardness is less than diamond. Real danburite will scratch.
• Another way to distinguish a stone from a diamond is to illuminate it with ultraviolet light. In this case, the danburite will glow blue or turquoise.
• A fake made from artificial materials is checked by a thermal conductivity test. Place the pebble in one palm for a couple of minutes, then move it to the other hand. If the stone still feels cold, it means it is natural.
• Imitations made from softer materials (plastic, glass, acrylic) are easily distinguished by a scratch test. Danburites are hard, glass will not scratch them, unlike imitation materials.

Care

Danburites are not fussy to care for; on the contrary, they can scratch softer objects and stones. Therefore, it is better to keep them in a separate box or bag, and also store them separately with diamonds. You can wash the mineral with mild soap and water at room temperature.
