专业鉴别宝石要检验其比重、硬度、折光率、导电性、导热性、偏光显微观察、多色性以及光谱图。但一般选购只能直观目测,下面即介绍宝石的一般鉴别方法:
(1)外观特征。真宝石看上去有清晰自然的纹路,有云层,有晶体特征,既剔透又不是一目了然的透明;玻璃或塑料制的假货没有自然纹路,无云层或云层不自然,无晶体特征。
(2)传热性。真宝石传热快,用手摸或舌头舔时有凉感;玻璃制的假宝石传热较慢,无凉感。
(3)硬度。钻石是天然最硬的物质,硬度10度,红宝石、蓝宝石硬度为9度,黄玉的硬度为8度,还有硬度更低的宝石。
(4)色泽。真钻石,从透明到黑色都有,尤以无色透明和淡蓝色的价值最高。
(5)价格。天然宝石的价格是与其硬度成正比的。硬度越高的宝石生成的机会越少,故价格越高。

General Knowledge 背景知识
在美国有很多“降价甩卖”的机会,那时商店会降低商品价格。这也许会使旅游者困惑。在买东西的时候,别着急,逛一下各个商店,鉴别一下商品的质量,仔细地查看一下物品,读一下广告来比较价格。对甩卖的商品仔细看一下是明智之举,因为许多商店都不允许退换甩卖商品。但是,绝大多数情况下,甩卖是购买物美价廉商品的好时机。
美国有各种各样的商店,大到百货商店,出售衣物、家具、居家用品和其他很多东西,小到专卖一种商品的小店。还有“廉价商店”,专卖价格低廉的货品,也有叫“一角店”的,专卖种类繁多的廉价物品。

在美国购物的时候你应该注意,在大多数情况下,标签上的价格并不是你所需付的价钱,你还得交税。通常来说税金在价钱的5%与10%之间。还有买衣服、买鞋的时候,中国用的是公制单位,而美国衡量大小的方法与中国完全不同。在这种情况下,你可以请求售货员帮助。
如果你想买贵重物品,建议你对照一下几家商店的价格。在美国没有“国家规定价格”。聪明的购物者可以寻找一些甩卖的机会,这时便可以买到质量相同,但价格低廉的商品。

时下,馈赠礼品图书是一种时尚。而礼品图书的选购,主要应依据馈赠对象的情况而定。例如,对购置新屋或乔迁新居的朋友,可选购一套《室内装饰》的礼品图书相赠;对准备结婚的朋友,可选一些装帧精美的《新婚幸福指南》之类的礼品图书馈赠,
以增添喜庆气氛;对孕妇或喜得贵子者可选一套《育儿百科知识》之类的图书作礼品赠送,朋友倍感亲切而有意义;对于老年朋友、长辈,可选购有关健康长寿的礼品图书奉赠,这也很有实用价值;对于青年朋友,可选赠与其事业有关的新知识、新技术的书籍,或根据朋友的爱好和兴趣,选送相应内容的图书。
随着人们物质文化生活的提高,思想观念的转变,馈赠礼品已逐渐由“物质”方面转向“精神”方面,这种新趋势的发展,不仅具有一般感情投资的意义,而且对精神文明建设也具有积极的作用。
