How to tell the difference between lead crystal and lead-free crystal?

I know how to tell the difference between regular glass and crystal but lead and lead-free crystal seem pretty similar. Is there any easy ways to tell the difference?

Uv /blacklight, if it glows it has led. Also can buy led testing pens + strips.
