What is Super Seven? How to identify raw stones, inclusions, and quality, and how to choose a bracelet

Transparency of the quartz

When the host quartz has transparency, you can enjoy the internal patterns and inclusions in a more three-dimensional way.

Checking if you can feel the depth of the stone when backlit is one way to judge.

However, types rich in inclusions may appear semi-transparent by nature. You do not need to judge quality based solely on transparency.

Observe the expression of inclusions

A major charm of Super Seven is the natural patterns visible inside.

There are individual differences: some have fine inclusions that spread delicately, some have clearly visible red or brown patterns, and others show multiple overlapping colors.

It is not "the more, the better," but rather it is important to see whether the expression is one that you find beautiful.

Check the color balance

Super Seven is not a stone for enjoying a uniform, single color.

The impression of the stone changes greatly by looking at how multiple colors, such as purple, red, brown, and transparent areas, are connected.

Confirm cracks and surface condition

Natural stones may sometimes show internal cracks or small surface irregularities.

It is important to distinguish between characteristic features of natural stones and significant chips or scratches that affect wearability.

Beauty as a whole

In the case of a bracelet, one beautiful bead does not guarantee the quality of the whole.

The color gradients, transparency, quantity of inclusions, and the connection between the beads are all important for the balance of the finished bracelet.
