Thank you for this information. Yes, I was caught off guard by color enhanced rose quartz that I recently purchased. About 13 pounds of rose quartz rough from 3 different vendors. Several pounds was AAA high grade. This morning I decided to tumble about 6 pounds.
Like an eager little kid, I had to take a peak after 8 hours of tumbling. To my shock…the stones were very pale pink or without color. They were dyed stones. It was upsetting…then I started laughing about it. I have many years of experience working with stones, though I was caught off guard, I was not going to let this surprise spoil my peace.
I have the choice to react, respond or observe. They are claiming to be one of the two places on earth that has tangerine quartz.
Hi, I just found your site and thank you for your info. I appreciate it greatly. How do I find a reputable seller? Im already overwhelmed after 2 hours of reading and searching online. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. One of the stones I need is natural citrine like in your videos.
I went to shop online, but could not be sure who to get it from. I saw an ad on Etsey for UN-treated with a certificate but it had white on the bottom. Thanks again for your info and all your work. Thank you for this article, though. Just irritated and disappointed. I got the crystal at a local shop I trusted. Hey, I hate that you feel that way, but I believe that you were attracted to that particular crystal because it was indeed fake.
Though, the power of manifestation resides in YOU …crystals and stones acts as an aid in the process. Case and point … for some reason you believed you needed to believe in something in order to believe in YOU when in all actuality all you needed was YOU.
Hope this helps in some way. Peace, love and light to you on and of your spiritual journey. What a beautiful perspective. I completely agree and hope it brings Jennifer some peace and faith. Your power is way more powerful then any stone or gem. As u said. U felt better because YOU believed it. This is just proof that mindset is wat really matters.
Your thoughts are the power not the tool. Crystal energies are not all in your mind. It still does work, just a pure crystal would be way more intense. So I recently found this site that sells crystals in my country. It depends on the seller , right? THank you! So there are alot of things that determine pricing. You can find emeralds, one of the most valuable stones in the world, for a dollar per dime sized piece.
Now a well cut emerald pendant or ring with a stone that size would easily run you up thousands of dollars. And since those favorable pieces are being mined for constantly the unfavorable pieces come up in bulk. They have the same holistic properties because it is technically citrine, if manmade, it also takes on some amethyst properties, but it will be a darker orange color I suggest you look at photos. I am an amature gem miner and have seen thousands of natural crystals and understand the formations.
You sound like you know a lot about crystals. Do you know of any reputable places where I could buy some? My husband purchased a beautiful Tesavrite sp pendent for my birthday. It is in somewhat of a triangle shape, and has a beautiful dark green sparkle. It looks like green sugar crystals on christmas cookies. Can you help? Tsavorite Garnet is a gorgeous gemstone…one of the rarer colors in natural garnets.
Pretty much anything over 2 carats is extremely rare, and would cost a fortune. Whereas some other sites were minimum This just made my day. You enhanced the color of your hair. Will hair become not natural? If you enhance the color of mineral will it become not natural? Just wanted to clear that up for you. So much information is out there I wish everyone would read first before they go spending money they did not have.
Thank you and keep it up the great information Jewels. While many sellers are honest, others blatantly scheme and lie, to highly profit from sick, depressed and hurting people. I will not buy on etsy anymore for this reason. Therefore, she gets top dollar while her customers are duped into buying useless, low grade, highly treated stones. It disgusts me, to see people lie, to profit, on the suffering of others.
But refuses to disclose her source. These deceivers should be exposed. How can we lead people to honest sellers of real, untreated healing stones? I want to buy genuine citrine.. I get the baked amethyst.. They specialize in African gemstones and have beautiful raw congo citrine and citrine from Nambia, amongst other beautiful gems. They have great prices. They are ethically mined and make sure the miners and environment are treated with respect.
They even do some of their own mining at times. I just bought a citrine from Nharo. They seem real to me. I have been on the hunt for a long time and I felt confident with this vendor. I know them from the hearts they have as a symbol. They have great quality stones. There actually is a real strawberry quartz! So you may want to check your facts and edit your article. It is a complete secret where to this day.
The material is extremely rare and very expensive since no more has come out of Mexico since then. However some has now been found in Kazakhstan and a regular supply is coming out of there but it is not quite the same quality as the Mexican strawberry quartz. How do I tell the difference? A question… Is dyed quartz, or any other dyed stone or crystal, still ok for spiritual work? Obviously not the highest quality, but would it still hold the attributes of the original stone?
Very informative! I actually fell victim to the dyed agate once, I got a big chunk that was super bright blue.
Lesson learned on that one! Miss Hibiscus!!! What a great article and I sooooo very much appreciate your easy going and lighthearted way of explaining things! I must share this on fb. Love to you and thanks for what you do! Very interesting about the white buffalo. I love American Southwest Turquoise so have been very cautiuos when purchasing. There are so many mines and diffrernt color variations of turquoise but have to say, the faux stuff really looks faux!
Would love to see was it WildHorse white? Thanks for sharing the video! How old is that video about White Turquoise? He stated most faux turquoise is made of Howlite but that simply is not true now. He stated himself that Howlite only came from one mine. It is simply not found in the lapidary market anymore or if you luck up and do find some, it is very very expensive. You can find info about that on some geological sites, Mindat for one.
Most all the newer fake turquoise is Magnesite! To the untrained eye it can be indescernable from Howlite. Especially with the volume of fake turquoise in the market today, and the super low prices, using Magnesite is the only real, viable option to create fake. They have been coated with various heavy metals and have remarkable colours, but it is said that the combination of crystal plus heavy metal produces an object with the qualities of both.
I love the coated quartz crystals. I have a few but do not work with them. I am very picky about natural stones.
I normally do not want them tampered with and Never any synthetics, no matter how beautiful they are. Personally, I like howlite. I can see how it would be passed off as white turquoise.
This is a very informative video. Thank you for posting it. I like howlite too…just not passed off as turquoise. Right on! Its time for a 15 min.
Amber and moldavite are two others that tend to be faked…amber I believe creates static when rubbed. Fake moldavite is glass, not sure of any tests for it though. I make stone jewelery and many placees like michaels sell fake stones as jewlery. Education education education. Hi Moon, I still cannot tell if my crystal is real.
I didnt really get much information from you advice in figuring out if its fake or real. This is a guide. Its impossible to figure it all out without proper mineral testing which you can possible ask your seller about or see if a geo museum will graciously honor your request.
Thanks for the info! My question is just because an agate or other crystal has been dyed or heated to make the color brighter or prettier, does that mean it is useless to work with? Does it negate the metaphysical properties of said agate or crystal?
I bought some supposed authentic Malachite beads off a Trade Me website and got them, they were like Malachite painted wood, could SO tell they were fake and I was not happy with the purchase as they had them on as real. Real malachite is not woody and dull, has a beautiful soft semi-gloss, Watch out for fake Malachite! I called them on it and asked if it was dyed and they said no.
I said i believe they were dyed and showed them the cracks where the color was darker, the lady got mad at the husband boyfriend and throw ed them on the ground and smashed them and then yelled at him for giving her crap for a gift. I did not mean for that to happen and said i was sorry but too late. They appear to be very good quality. But I did stumble across their cherry quartz. Crystalage is one of the greatest sites for crystals. They have really high quality crystals.
Well, they never said its fake. Actually its not fake stone, just dyed… its still clear quartz. I still have it. We thought it was rather unique at the time due to the injection process. Maybe it was a new process at the time. At that time, no one was out to screw anyone. I tend to say away from online purchases. Here were i live we have a store that sell them and everything else its so peace full when you walk in to that store you feel the energy of everything and its calming.
They have so many things. I did how ever have a hard time find lapis and i did a lot of research online with one store before i did buy them and i once i got them i brought them to the store so they can check them out. What about Opalite? But, I do however go hunting in nature for crystals and stones, and my biggest problem is knowing what I have found.
I have recently come across a jackpot of stones that really look like different quartzs. Some are milky white, some very clear, some with pink or yellowish orange tints, and a couple that look marblish like turquoise. I am no expert so I have no way of knowing if I have amassed a nice collection of quartz or if I have a bunch of really pretty rocks. Is there a way I can find out without mortgageing my home for lab tests?
I wanted to ask you if this is true and how much would be the cost of real crystals as I dont want to be conned by these people and yet cure my problems. This is great information? Will the test of the white tirquise work for every crystal? I want to purchase a few crystals to wear on me as I know they have abilities of keeping negative energy away or clean your own energy, etc.
It does say in the description that 4 of them are natural and one of them is not natural, so should I trust it? Although they are notorious for fake crystals, China does have a large crystal mining industry. I have seen photographs from eBay sellers of them polishing quartz from a raw material. How successful the fake is depends on the core stone and which metal is getting bonded. Hummmm…I am Jonathon. I have a deep affinity with stones. They are like family. I live in country and am close with nature.
