Great video! Thank you for assuring that that is ok to have synthetic pieces. There is so much stigma against manmade crystals (I'm guilty of being a snob about it myself) but in a way, it does help against overmining. (Now that I think of it, it does take a lot of ingenuity to create these manmade pieces!) The main problem is just people trying to pass them off as natural or raw and overcharging - that's awesome that your supplier is upfront about what is genuine vs synthetic. I know people are really into aura quartz and opalite - I'm coming around since it IS pretty. :)
I love this comment! I totally agree with you! Synthetic crystals to help with mining and can be very beautiful! And any crystal can speak to you man made or natural! I agree too some suppliers are in it for the money and sell synthetic for natural and than it’s this cycle of sellers not representing it correctly! I’ve noticed some international and American sellers are truly in it for the money and nothing else. But those seller with a passion to help others and to bring beautiful crystals to people who need them, those are the ones who will last! I hope my videos help people see which vendors are in this industry for the right reasons!
@@babyyoda8550 no thanks
Some of these are definitely gorgeous and worthy of adding to a collection. If it brings joy, that's all that matters. I just feel it's important for people to be made aware that they're man-made.
It's been said that the SYNTHETIC one it doesn't have or "contains" the earth energy. To me is the most important thing. ✌️
Aura quartz is natural quartz. The outside has just been treated.
I think it’s really important to note that everything has energy. A rock on the ground has the same amount of energy as the crystal you may have just overspent on. It is absolutely okay to own man-made stones, as long as they are sold to you as so. Never feel guilty for having something that’s glass. It’s pretty. You felt drawn to it. It has energy too.
@@fklsjdlfkjsdklfasdfs that’s not true, i know you want to sound intelligent but you are not. Millions of watches are made with tiny pieces of quartz that function as a energy transmitter and it holds its own frequency. That quartz crystal serves as the oscillator. The battery sends electricity to the quartz crystal through an electronic circuit. Clearly you are just trying to convince yourself because you enjoyed this video
@@fklsjdlfkjsdklfasdfs many crystal collectors that believe in and use crystals for their metaphysical and other properties do acknowledge that it’s a placebo. At least from what I’ve seen. It’s about being able to set intentions of what goals you have for yourself (self-love, confidence, personal growth, etc) through an item that can serve as a constant reminder and awareness of that certain goal. Most of these can be achieved through your own actions and setting intentions within yourself, yes, but it’s easier for some people to put that power into other sources, which is why motivational speaking and therapy for non-mental/psychiatric disorder related issues (like self love, confidence, and personal growth) are so heavily relied on.
@@fklsjdlfkjsdklfasdfs It only becomes a problem when people rely on crystals for mental/psychiatric disorder related issues that do require some level of therapeutic/psychological/medical input. And even worse when it’s relied on for illness and disease. But you’re already aware of that, I’m sure. It’s also all pretty harmless beyond that until people start believing that only certain crystals carry certain properties, forcing them to collect and spend way too much - which I’m sure is a result of marketing strategies - and I agree is what made me cringe in this video as well. Anyways, sorry this is so long, I have trouble expressing ideas without writing a whole essay lol. (I also collect crystals for their beauty but this is just what I’ve seen people explain)
@@fklsjdlfkjsdklfasdfs do you believe in god?
@@fklsjdlfkjsdklfasdfs You only watched it for a few minutes, but you cringed throughout the video. 😂 Nice try.
Just wanna clarify that there are real stones that have the cat's eye effect. This effect is called chatoyancy and it's the reflection of a band of thin inclusions in a stone. Stones that have this effect are chrysoberyl and tiger's eye, to name a couple. So don't immediately disregard a stone as fake if you see that sheen!
Right! I would guess that Tigers Eye is dyed to get so many colors. I have a rough piece of the yellow, no way is it man-made. Blue and red may be natural as well. The neon colors are typically a dead giveaway as to artificial creation, i.e. the neon pink. When the color runs all throughout the stone, that is indicative of dying. Dyes cannot differentiate layers. Layers can absorb dyes at different rates. The most pronounced example of this imo is blue dyed agates. In conclusion, I would theorize that Tigers Eye with black may be natural..the example shown that is all pink, definitely not a natural color. Though most likely is tigers eye and a natural chatoyancy, unnatural color. I welcome any knowledge on the subject, as I said, I am speculating.
I haven’t bought a single one of these, yet i still feel betrayed 😂
Lol some man made stones I love! They’re not for everyone though!
I myself still love Opalite and a few others you mentioned 🌅
me too!
Same
A thing to note with Opalite and the name Moonstone, there is a crystal called Moonstone (you might be familiar with Rainbow Moonstone, usually white with black and various opalescent inclusions). Genuine Moonstone tends to sell for a more than Opalite, do if you're buying crystals you find some Opalite that the seller is calling Moonstone, they're trying to insist its not glass, and also sell it for a decent chunk of change maybe walk away from that seller quickly.
I think your eyes are man-made because they are too perfect.
Lol yes they are enchanted! Haha
X
To the contrary man don’t make things that are perfect ✨
That was smooth ngl
Well, technically isn't every human man-made?
Goldstone actually is made of copper and quartz! Copper and quartz both have healing properties and are conductors of energy, so goldstone is pretty cool!
Once heated quartz is glass
Gosh, thank you so much for the heads up, I'm just starting my crystal collecting journey. I really thought snowflower, cats eye, green ghost quartz and magnetic hematite were all something natural! I'm diving through your entire playlist for spotting fakes now, giving you all my gratitude here 🔮
Glad I could help!
I didn't know that about Opalite either and I bought some unfortunately.
@@vaskylark don't feel bad.I have been collecting crystals since I was 8 and I have several pieces of opalite, and I love it ! Appreciate it for what it is: something beautiful that makes you happy. Enjoy!
Awesome video! While bismuth crystals are formed by human intervention, it's fully a natural material, they don't add anything to it...its heated to liquid form and as it cools, the super rad geometric shapes form. It looks aura coated because they actually use bismuth for aura coat. So if you buy aura quartz, you're actually purchasing a quartz crystal coated with bismuth...the aura coating is mistaken as unnatural, and while you don't get aura coating naturally, it's of natural material.
Hematite is one of my favorite stones and I had no idea that the magnetic type was fake. I don't have any of it but I've heard people talk about it.
Yes same! I didn’t know it was fake either, but I’m so glad I know now!
i didnt even know it was a crystal i thought it was just a magnet lol
Real hematite is actually magnetic too, just a lot weaker.
I am a rock hound and I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on my rock collection. While Im personally not big on the spiritual aspect of stones, I am very glad I find videos like these as they help me find specimens and categorize my collection. Like for example, I have a good amount of cat’s eye that were sold under the name “Fiber optic rocks”, so I’m very happy I got their official name as I’m a cat person.
I love this channel and I can’t wait to see more of your videos!!
Goldstone was my first Crystal and I didn’t know that it was real for quite a while. Even thought it is fake I still love it
Goldstone is fake, but sunstone is real, they can look very similar!
🔮🔮 binge watching your videos all day ❤️ thank you for sharing your knowledge !
I'm so glad you made this video! Just getting started with my business and knowing what is natural and what is not is important. I want to become a good source of information for my customers and you are a great teacher. I'm also happy that you reinforce that some man made materials are still worth having because of their composition. Not all people who want rocks, crystals and stones are in it for spiritual reasons. 🔮
I am totally new to crystals and this channel has been incredibly helpful in learning what crystals I am looking for and which ones I'm not. Her content is super accessable for newbies, thank you for all the work you put into educating us! I subscribed 🤗😄

I’ve literally thought about how do you have magnetic hematite lol when it normally isn’t magnetic. Now I know.

You’re welcome!
Tysm for this video! Your honestly so wholesome 💗 new sub!!
Thanks for subbing!
Great video, very helpful. Lately I've been seeing alot of this kiwi jasper stone and sunstone! I'm just not sure about them the ones I've seen being sold on insta & etsy look types of granite especially the towers and the spheres.
Agree, some stones to me just look like a granite counter top! I’ll research these a little more!
🔮 Thank you for these videos! 😊
I knew smelting stones were fake just by how they look but they are sooo beautiful!!
I know it think it is so pretty too! Like a swirl frozen in time!
Thanks for the information 👍😀
I’m enjoying your videos ❤️
Thank you so much!! 💕
Great video hun❤️
Thank you so much!! 💕
It was insanely interesting to learn that bismuth is man-made too!
I'm not a big fan of manmade gems that are just glass (maybe because of previous bad experiences with fakes that turned out to be glass, and this mentality of "dyed glass is nothing special, we've seen it before") - I do own an opalite because it's gorgeous but don't keep it on display with other gems because I don't treat it as such - but I am open to enhancing and treating crystals and even growing them in a lab from the appropriate ingredients.
Thank you! I’ve been into crystals since I was really young and now I’m trying to see which are fake and with are real
🔮 great info ! Thanks 🥳
🔮 love your fake crystal series!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the info,.
Thank you. I like to know what I’m buying.
I love your videos... thank you🤩💚🙏
Thank you so much for watching!
That is awesome thankyou🥰
Omg I would have thought it looked like rock candy too 👀
Thanks learning more
If man made gems bother you, look into heat treated gems. Just as natural as glass. Cat's eyes are natural gems, or I should say a cut of gem's as many gems, man-made and natural, if showing the right gleam are called cat's eye.
This helps because I like to buy samples from witch supply shops as a novice geologist, and there is so much discretion I have to have on figuring out what's a real mineral or not.
Awesome video! 🔮
Thanks so much!
Hi there Ms. CBB! Just rediscovered here my inclination to crystals. Thank you heaps for your videos. As we say in one of the Philippine dialc=ects, "Padayon" meaning, "Keep going". Lotsalove from the Philippines!
thanks 4 the response! shout out from florida!
Lol.. I thought I bought a Berthierite (as what the seller told me) but it is actually a Silicone Carbide! No wonder it is soooo cheap. Thank you for the explanation. You're the best! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
yes its surprisingly cheap! But pretty!
I feel like I learn so much from your content. It may be manmade but I sure do love the sparkle of the sandstone...... I'm partial to labradorite. I got my eye on that lovely point you have in your etsy shop. I have a gorgeous moonstone sphere and I would love to add some Larvakite to my collection. Do you ever come across Larvakite? I never heard of it till recently.
I’m glad your learning a lot! That’s so great! I do get Larvakite here and there but it sells out super fast! Usually the same day it’s posted! Follow my crystal Instagram to see what’s added in the shop!
Great video. Should also make a video on genuine malachite and synthetic malachite. So many shops sell synthetic cheap malachite as genuine.
thank you for this video 👀 I will make a point to ask about if stones are man made or not if it isn’t clearly stated.off topic but love the wave/crinkle hair you are sporting. Opalite is pretty but opal is is defiantly what people would want . That’s cool that it helps with your chakras . goldstone is sooo pretty love the sparkles I would def want the blue sparkle .
I started using a beach wavier and I did it, gives me a good curl and lasts for a few days! 🤩
Thamku so much for sharing, this is Just like our food plastic
Thsnk you very much! Blessings 💗 🔮
Thank you for this ! I love Crystals ,
My TT feed is full of crystal sellers claiming to be genuine sellers , I respectfully asked if they are real and I all I got was abuse ! I would of probably brought them regardless of they were glass or resin
This video was very helpful ❤🌹
Snowflake glass looks really pretty.
It’s super pretty! Definitely an art form even if it is just glass!
Blessings to you 🙏
Was recently gifted a couple nice pieces of the green ghost. Found a reference to it being called Chromium quartz where the added chromium creates the green after heat treatment under high pressure water -? I don't care it's absolutely GORGEOUS 😍
i love you! you save from buying fake things
I love my man made Chalcanthite. the seller did say it was man made!
Great help 🔮
Glad you found it helpful! 💕
The snowflake/snow flower one looks like a fancy, difficult to achieve ceramic glaze called crystalline glaze, which can be made in many colors and those round crystal-like shapes “grow” during certain stages in the kiln during the glaze firing. And glaze is glass. I always wondered how cats eye stone was made! You can feel the filaments if you rub two pieces together. I wondered if it was dyed selenite/selenium?
i saw a kennas crystals video where she did a mystery box with that last alabaster thingy
Yikes! Did she say it was real?
I do have a green ghost smoky quartz pointe (kind of citrine) but it does not look like the type in this video at all.
Thank you! 🔮
I'm new with crystals 🔮 and your videos are so helpful, thank you ! I want to buy Carnelian quartz but I want a real one, can you please make a video about real Carnelian vs fake , 🙏
Yes this one is highly requested so it will be in my next video of this series!
I really thank you.
Could you do a video on how to find out what crystals are popular right now? I'm having a heck of a time trying to look it up.
Great info good to know not a fan of synthetic gems I have been duped but I have to stop an think that I might have helped someone out ..I do have a rose quartz I love it was a pair the other was a yellow stone on chain Wich I gave to an x our stones both have a gorgeous dragon winding around them 🔮🙏🏼
I know that your busy but when you get a chance could you please tell me..What did you start with(how much money/Crystal's )did or do you recomend someone start with if they want a crystal business and can you make really good money if I decide to go full time ??? Loved and love your videos! Very down to earth but beautiful, so your very easy to watch!❤💎
Forgotten Jewels hey! Watch my how to start a crystals business video! I started with $300! You can make as much or little money as you want but it’s how much work, time and effort you put in!
I also have those crystal towers you showed in your video and I knew that some of them are just smelt or man made. I already thinking of those that they are man made in the first place because of its looks, and thru this video, Ive found out that i am really right. Nice video. Regards from Philippines.
