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.
Not gonna lie, as a crystal collector myself i would still be pleased with that $17 smoky tower. Collecting crystals is an expensive hobby and to even get a tower that large for that price is amazing.
I tried to buy crystals from your Etsy shop and unfortunately it doesn’t ship to United Arab Emirates 😭, i wanted to buy crystals for the first time but the only shop I would trust is probably yours, because you upload videos about real and fake crystals and I could see how genuine you are when it comes to crystals.
hii!!! i think you should buy some crystals from shein, i know you have in the past but they have some new ones. Im very curious to see if they are real, since the reviews say they are most of the time!! anyway thank you for making content and educating me and others
That first brand was one I got as my first ever crystals and they were actually fake so ot was really frustrating for a first time, but lesson learned haha.
I LOVE this type of video because I didn't know, for example, how to identify good quality rose quartz. I would LOVE if you could do more videos showing what you look for when identifying high quality-vs--less high quality crystals!
This was fun! I personally don’t buy crystals from Wish or Amazon but it’s always interesting to see what kind of quality crystals they offer. I enjoyed watching this! 🥰💜🔮✨
Hi, just found your channel. I have a question - in the first set of towers you showed, you stated the purple tower was fluorite but it looks like amethyst to me. Did they say it was fluorite?
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.
Maybe next time you can compare the not so good ones next to what nice one looks like or next to the ones you sell! New to crystals and I think you are so informative! 😊
I had ordered some of my first one's from there,and I got 3 pretty nice huge smokey quartz towers and I am pretty happy with it them, especially what I pd ,and they do have some rainbow s,that I love!!!!😁✌️
I love your show! I really wish you would have taken everything out of the bags, i understand if you only have 1 cameta but maybe at the end change angle to show out of plastic hard to really see the stones. I really like the large tumbled mose agate chip beads hard to find "nuggets" like that for jewelry. Great job tho!
where are u buying your crystals ? U said the rose quartz tower the size of your face was pricey... if i went to my local crystal shop right now and bought that same one i would be paying 100-150 dollars
Yellow jade is real but it’s one of the most rare types of jade I think. I doubt that was true yellow jade. Instead it was probably cloudy yellow quartz, which is called ‘yellow jade’ on the market similarly to how heat treated amethyst is called citrine
I did the same thing with just a labradorite ring and the picture was beautiful but I got a ring with maybe epoxy or some material they can just use paint and swirl it around. It was the most obvious and horrible fake!!
I bought 2 "labradorite rings from wish. Had the same experience 2x... one was odv epoxy with bubbles 😒the 2nd was a thin slice of abalone with this a thick layer of epoxy 🙄 never again!! ✌🧡💎💫
@@amandarussell8770 yes exactly! I even had a hard time getting my money back so definitely wasn’t worth trying ever again. I even ordered sphere stands and the paint was chipped off and velvet on top was coming off. I got a partial refund but not that’s it. Lost money.
I think your comments are very harsh. Beautiful crystals all of them and when I go shopping in crystal shops I get the feeling from individual pieces they draw me in . It’s intuition guiding me
clearness (the more clear it is the better quality usually), colour (usually the darker the better), texture (usually the smoother the better), pattern (depends on the crystal and its patterns), inclusions (for example rutile quartz - the more rutile inclusions the better quality), etc..

Do you have a video to show how to tell heat treated Citrine from Citrine?

Also I’m so confused I think all the towers are absolutely gorgeous. Rose quarts and Smokey quartz included.

I just bought one from a live sale around that size and clarity for $80 😣
yes! also the quality is not THEIR fault! it is just the way the crystal formed -_- the tower itself is great quality imo
@@ohyeahshebomb :O
i just got a small amethyst tower for 14 and it’s good quality, but i also live in canada if price makes a difference
Also she's not going to say these crystals are good quality and cheap when she sells higher priced ones for a living. No shade just keepin it real.
I like several of these. I like the natural inclusions and stuff in my stones. That quartz and smoky were nice to me.
Same. I don't really care for crystals that are super clear like glass, then it just looks like glass to me.
Agree❣ definitely think its what you resonate with🤗
✌🧡💎💫
Same , I mean the quality does not effect the properties of crystals . Of course if you buy crystals as a collector then quality is important.
@@KrispyKebab I agree! And f its real, who cares.
Same
Not gonna lie, as a crystal collector myself i would still be pleased with that $17 smoky tower. Collecting crystals is an expensive hobby and to even get a tower that large for that price is amazing.
Girl hand over the smoky Quartz and rose quarts tower they are stunning !

Message me on Etsy and I can help open up the shipping for you!
I must have low standards because I think these are all pretty great.
😆 I was thinking the same
lol, that smoky quartz was beautiful and the rose quartz was stunning. If I wanted something perfect I'd buy glass. I love white in my rose quartz.
hii!!! i think you should buy some crystals from shein, i know you have in the past but they have some new ones. Im very curious to see if they are real, since the reviews say they are most of the time!! anyway thank you for making content and educating me and others
thank you for telling us what you think. however, the earth still made the 'low quality' crystals. Just glad most of those are real.
That first brand was one I got as my first ever crystals and they were actually fake so ot was really frustrating for a first time, but lesson learned haha.

I genuinely prefer 1-3 inch towers. They’re so cute & convenient.
Funny how i love more the lower quality rose and smokey
This was fun! I personally don’t buy crystals from Wish or Amazon but it’s always interesting to see what kind of quality crystals they offer. I enjoyed watching this! 🥰💜🔮✨
Hi, just found your channel. I have a question - in the first set of towers you showed, you stated the purple tower was fluorite but it looks like amethyst to me. Did they say it was fluorite?
I was thinking that too!
I love the yellow on the rose quartz, I usually never see any yellow just the white.
I just started getting into crystals and you have helped me so much. I would love to see a video of you trying to find crystals in the nature.
Rock shop. 10yrs in the black. Loved it. Made good money. Northwrst Arkansas.
Ones. So i opened a outdoor r
I hunt quartz here in Arkansas. Found so many really good ones
I much prefer the pink and white rose quartz to one that's just full pink. I think the pink and white is way prettier.
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.
The difference is millions of years in the earth vs. hours in an oven
Maybe next time you can compare the not so good ones next to what nice one looks like or next to the ones you sell! New to crystals and I think you are so informative! 😊
Fun to see the variety in quality. I liked the golden sheen obsidian
I love these videos!! thank you, your knowledge is appreciated!
no links? 😭
I really like watching your videos.
Keep it up.😊
BTW my favourite crystal is moss agate
I had ordered some of my first one's from there,and I got 3 pretty nice huge smokey quartz towers and I am pretty happy with it them, especially what I pd ,and they do have some rainbow s,that I love!!!!😁✌️
Yay!!! I've been so interested about Crystal's from wish automatic like!!
Go to Rock Hunting,your state. It will tell you where and what kind are in your area
I’m shocked how many were real
I found your channel yesterday and have been obsessed since! Your voice and content is so calming. Excuse me while I binge😂
I love your show! I really wish you would have taken everything out of the bags, i understand if you only have 1 cameta but maybe at the end change angle to show out of plastic hard to really see the stones. I really like the large tumbled mose agate chip beads hard to find "nuggets" like that for jewelry. Great job tho!
The tiny ones are probably good for a charm or pendant
You and the video are awesome. Thank for showing what you get on wish.
Omg I would love that rose quartz tower 😍😍😍😍
Great video again Barbie! Loving your hair and the new set up!
I am in love with your necklace! Where did you get it?
I have two fluorite both extremely clear one purple and one green
My only issue is that my parents def wont approve so I'd have to get mine online
Do you buy jewllery with crystals? i would to love seeing you buying it like rings and neckleces. Great vid
*heat treated amethyst
where are u buying your crystals ? U said the rose quartz tower the size of your face was pricey... if i went to my local crystal shop right now and bought that same one i would be paying 100-150 dollars
Lol I own a crystal shop! I know pricing!
Have you bought crystals from tik tok? I’m curious what your thoughts on them are.
What about crystals from Tik Tok!
I got the chakras they are lovely but very small
With 100USD, I'm sure you can buy better crystals in Vietnam.
How do you determine if it's glass or not? You can't use the cold or fire test....
i love your necklace, where did u get it pls?
I would have called it milky quartz not clear quartz in the first lot you showed
I have been looking for reasonable priced watermelon tri colored. Do you have one for necklace.
You are so pretty
Thank you can you do Alibaba please.
Yellow jade is an actual crystal?
Yellow jade is real but it’s one of the most rare types of jade I think. I doubt that was true yellow jade. Instead it was probably cloudy yellow quartz, which is called ‘yellow jade’ on the market similarly to how heat treated amethyst is called citrine
@@xErinxx Was it Yellow Jasper?
@@KrispyKebab no, it didn’t look like jasper. Too uniform and soft coloration. More likely a type of quartz
@@xErinxx ‘cloudy yellow Quartz’ is citrine, citrine is what we call yellow colored Quartz.
@@Hashdollars citrine is not cloudy. Reread my comment. Faux yellow jade is quartz
I did the same thing with just a labradorite ring and the picture was beautiful but I got a ring with maybe epoxy or some material they can just use paint and swirl it around. It was the most obvious and horrible fake!!
I bought 2 "labradorite rings from wish. Had the same experience 2x... one was odv epoxy with bubbles 😒the 2nd was a thin slice of abalone with this a thick layer of epoxy 🙄 never again!!

How do u have a gorgeous hair?!!! ❤️
thank you so much!
How do you know the small points were not dyed? Thank you
You can tell, dye leaves uneven blotchy color!
@@ColdBrewBarbie thank you! ❤
At least it turn out its real and not glass..
I think your comments are very harsh. Beautiful crystals all of them and when I go shopping in crystal shops I get the feeling from individual pieces they draw me in . It’s intuition guiding me
Some are real most are fake.
Isn’t tiger’s eye all man made?
Nope! It’s all natural! But the red is heat treated!
Can you tell me where I can buy real chips black tourmaline
You can buy them on Etsy or even on aliexpress.
How can you determine the quality of a crystal? Tips?
clearness (the more clear it is the better quality usually), colour (usually the darker the better), texture (usually the smoother the better), pattern (depends on the crystal and its patterns), inclusions (for example rutile quartz - the more rutile inclusions the better quality), etc..

I love you
