Thank you so much for this awesome video! You're so right about material coming from China. Too many crystal sellers that got into this market in the last five years are selling fake and dyed material from their Chinese suppliers and describing it as "high quality" and "natural." Neither of which is true.
Heya 👋 I've known about this information for many many years. I'm almost 70. But I am so glad you are telling current buyers what to look out for. I've always felt that quality is better than quantity when you're dealing with crystals. In my day we didn't have the Chinese imports which was lovely. We got it directly from the source with maybe one middleman. I was fortunate to have a wholesaler friend in the 90s that was very good to me. Most people were not blessed with that experience. But your videos are almost as good as being in a warehouse your self. I've been to your website it is fabulous. Can anybody buy what's on the website?! I do not know why your channel isn't more popular? Keep these videos coming we all need to learn❤
Thank you for all that you do. I just recently stumbled upon your Instagram and I am hooked on your content. I especially like your bit at the end about being authentic and honest and pursuing ownership of your business journey. Perhaps this is why you have done so well?
Amethyst! I love it and want to touch and hold every piece on that table 😂. Thank you for the information to help us better know the quality we are looking at when purchasing.
I appreciate you teaching us how to decipher low/high quality amethyst. We hope to see similar type videos going forward so we can continue to grow and learn.
Really love it when you do informative videos like this one. Would love to also hear about common and rare crystals found together with whatever crystal you are talking about or different formations it can be found in etc and how that affects value. Thanks for sharing all the info :)
I’ve learned something new, plus now I have a better understanding of what I’ve purchased from you, and gifted to my friend. It had a crystal coming off the bottom. Beautiful❤️
Such a great and informative place to learn about minerals, where they come from, how much they cost, and what the quality of those minerals are. Always love watching your videos and seeing new minerals come out!
It’s always a pleasure to learn from your experience Chris . I’m just a collector, not in the business but strive to collect high grade ethically sourced material and encourage my collector friends to do the same. Everything I have from FTM is above and beyond! Love you all!🩷
Hey, just here to say thanks for continuing to put out awesome content like this. I do not understand how your videos don’t get more views but I guess just at the beginning!!
I love this video! As a collector I'm always hoping to get the best grade but don't always know how to tell! Appreciate you taking the time walkthrough this!

YOU TAKE THE A IN AMETHYST TO AWESOME! 🫶😆😜 appreciate you so much chris the whole team really! 💙 ur low grade is still high grade because of the energy u send with it! 👌👏
I have no idea about this whole topic but what I would really like to have: a complete Set of a Amethyst glade. Like also the other half. Is that common? Or is that more on the expensive side as in "you only preserve both halfes if both are A-level quality" leading to several hundrets of Dollar prices?
Eye clean ransparency no visible inclusions should be d major parameter fr grading a crystal💖 u give much importance at broken repired💔❤️🩹..i completely disagree bro👎
I don’t mind when you tell me where it comes from. Or what country to watch out for! I appreciate it so much because I want good ethically sourced material. That’s why I’ll continue to buy from you, where I know that you’re doing your due diligence and I can be comfortable purchasing! Speaking of amethyst. Today I received my first large ame geode from you!! I absolutely LOVE it!! It’s A grade ❤💎🫂

Amethyst is tricky to buy. Thanks for the clarification. I usually try to get the darker color and the bigger crystals.

I would think that the clearest and most vibrant purple would be the highest grade material, not necessarily the darkest or most pigmented

Or is that more on the expensive side as in "you only preserve both halfes if both are A-level quality" leading to several hundrets of Dollar prices?
Great Video, so what is a good Wholesale price for "A" Quality
Very informative!
How does the point size change the value?
I'm grateful for this video. Thank you for taking the time to help others in their quest.
What do you polish your crystals with?
i definitely prefer lavender amethyst.
Will you be around at Tucson???
Yes
Hey there ! Yes we have a warehouse there
i wish i could go shopping in your warehouse lol
You can virtually shop with us via zoom or facetime! email us at contact@fromthemines.com if interested :)
to be honesty, none of your crystal is impressive, all are trash, but i wish you good luck
To be honesty??? Wow thats a hard job! Good on you for taking on the task. Someone has to do it right 👍🏻
Eye clean ransparency no visible inclusions should be d major parameter fr grading a crystal💖 u give much importance at broken repired💔❤️🩹..i completely disagree bro👎
You'd make an excellent professor... the things we get to learn from you 🤩
