Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Carnelian are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Carnelian carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Carnelian is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Carnelian have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Carnelian, but if you find flaws, then your Carnelian is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Carnelian are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Carnelian. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Carnelian, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Carnelian from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Carnelian. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Carnelian. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.
