Description
Nano Crystal Gemstones are gemstones where the crystal structures have been engineered or synthesized at the nanoscale. This involves manipulating the size, shape, and structure of the crystals at the molecular or atomic level to achieve unique properties.
- Size: Crystal grains or particles are typically in the range of 1-100 nanometers (nm).
- Structure: These crystals can have unique physical and optical properties due to their small size.
- Optical Properties: Enhanced color, brilliance, and light dispersion due to quantum effects and increased surface area.
- Mechanical Properties: Potentially increased hardness or durability due to the reduced size of grain boundaries.
- Chemical Properties: Increased reactivity or stability depending on the surface area and structure of the nanoparticles.
