    I’m not saying any of these are bad, quality is important to some and not important to others! I am a collector so quality is very important to me and as a seller it’s very important I only sell high quality. Again the quality doesn’t take away from the healing properties!

      @@thecree4785 She's done 2 now hun. Think her Real Vs Fake are all in a playlist. Also 2 easiest, most obvious ways to spot heat treated citrine are 1.) White base or any white at all. 2.) Also those super obvious burnt clusters as Citrine doesn't grow in clusters. You know those white clusters with like burnt tips? Those are so fake. Her newer Real Vs Fake is better than 1st as I knew all the signs from the 1st but her follow up shows much less obvious signs I found really useful xx Like there's some much more realistic faked Citrines out there which can be lab dyed or heat treated smokey quartz

    I personally like imperfection in crystals because it’s what makes them unique for me. Unless they’re points or spheres which I actually use to work with, I don’t mind quality as long as I feel a connection with it. ✨

    but would you get a good quality smoky quartz tower this big for 17$ ? i don't think so... we just have to look at the prices. they won't give us a big, great quality crystal for that price.

    Citrine is ALWAYS heated amethyst.
    Some are heated by man (or woman) and some are heated naturally.
    The ones that are heated naturally are the higher quality and more expensive citrine.
    You can usually identify natural citrine by the color- it will be darker.
