Thank you do much ma'am. They r kind enough to have a tag that says they r fake. Beginners like me get easily fooled. I learned alot from your videos. Thank you ma'am. From India.
Thank you so much. Ive bought a lot of items from amazon and i believe ive been lucky to get the real stuff. My friend is very smart about this stuff and she says they are real...but i would never pay those high prices anyway.
I was binge watching your videos today and I ran into this video. You said about clear quartz with green dye and guess what I just recently bought one from shopee because it looks so beautiful I asked seller and said it was MOSS QUARTZ ☹️☹️ but watching your video it looks like dyed clear quartz 😢
This is good to know. I actually bought 1 green phantom quartz from Chinese seller in one of famous online shopping platf. The color of one I bought was dull. It has garden inside but it was very dark green, almost to brown color.. Some of the beads has cracks inside too. Tho I was given certificate , but I had a hunch it wasn't real. However basing from your reference of legit green phantom, maybe the one I bought was real... I don't know anymore 😅 but the beads has cracks inside. Not sure if it was normal to have cracks inside. Thanks for sharing your thoughts anyway
Thank you. It's my pleasure to sure. Crystal with cloud and cracks inside, mostly are lower quality. If your phantom quartz bracelet is not near the strands that I showed in the video, then yours may be natural. Or you can watch my previous video in the wholesale market or about products, I have filmed the natural ones.
@@KarenHuiCrystals thanks! Maybe next time u can do a video about tourmaline bracelets too. Like this one, identifying high quality or fake ones (if there's is) 🙂
@@bee.dibsk222 Thank you for the suggestion. In fact, there were fake tourmaline a few years ago ( made with clear quartz, with color-dyed), but it seems like hard to find any lately, I will try my best to find, haha. About the grading, I had a video about strawberry quartz and aquamarine grading, for tourmaline beads are mostly the same. czcams.com/video/_nmqO5hxnt4/video.html
when I first started to collect gems and crystal I found the chinese market was often lying as to what they gems were. Very sad. I got suckered. I have lots of research now and really know my crystals. Seems Indian sellers are becoming much the same. So sad. Thank you for your help.
Hi, it's my pleasure to share. And yes, Indian, Nepalese sellers have been aggressively making imitations. Some of my local buyers have bought fake ambers (which is plastic) from Nepal at a super high price.
I tried finding your IG but nothing came up. I bought some phantom quartz the other day that I'm skeptical about. When it gets here I can show you, I'd like to get your opinion
hi karen very nice video at the part 02:45-03:00 ....that pricing...is that the actual average price for real crystals sold directly from manufacturers and that the prices go up after middle men and retailers? or that price range of 2usd to 3usd per bracelet is for a fake one? im trying to understand the original factory price of a typical genuine bracelet per strand whether its natural or dyed as long its a genuine one and not glass :) i appreciate so much your response in advance :)
Hi, thank you for the question. It's kind of sensitive while we talk about pricing here. The pricing at the part, is for middle man and retailers, if they order more, the price will be even less. Even fake crystals and color-dyed crystals can be at a high price too. For these 'green phantom', they are made with really low-quality clear quartz with green color-dyed and heat-treated (that's how they fill in the color), so it's cheap. But you can not say they are fake, they are real clear quartz. But not real phantom quartz.
Is there any way we can tell we are buying glass beads instead of real crystal beads just by looking at it? I suspect few of my bracelets is a glass because they have divot/dimple right about the corner of the bead's hole
Hi, thank you for your question. Do you mean phantom quartz? There are many formations of natural phantom quartz, layers, stars, pyramids, half minerals half crystals.
@@KarenHuiCrystals Hi, thanks for replying 😊 No, I meant other crystals. How can we check if it's a glass or real crystal beads? Is there any markings on the surface of the beads or something?
@@Afiqa3004 Oh, first is to check the cold feeling from natural crystals. The second is the color, clarity, and weights. Honestly, it's not easy for consumers to differentiate fake or real just by looking at the crystals. This requires years of experience. Or, the people who are sensitive to healing energies would have the feeling of natural ones. There would be no energy within fake crystals.
@@KarenHuiCrystals ya... the color is dark green. I asked the seller, is it genius? She told me it's the real stone and she is a distributor 😂 when the bracelet came, I saw the beads only 2-3mm. Very small beads and the price of bracelet is RM 15.80
Hi is there such thing as an amethyst phantom quartz… it has inclusions i bought it as bracelet from a vendor i regularly buy from in lazada but im suspicious its glass

I love you doing this types of video. Educational and teach us what’s fake what’s real. Thanks Karen :)
Thank you, Jenny, I will keep doing my best. :)
The blue and purple color-dyed rutilated quartz are very pretty!
Thanks for showing us. When I look at them I can see that these are dyed but a lot of people don't have that experience.
I found your online store and can’t wait to buy from you. Love and love your videos. From Perth WA
Js, cheap to buy online, but wait till u get the Shipping & Handling bill..I about fell over ,5$ for a piece & and 30 to Ship! Ya, not a secret

I cant wait to buy from you, at last I can have complete confidence I'm getting the real thing.
Thank you, this is encouraging. Vendors in the wholesale market, they don't lie, they will tell you what's fake, what's real.
I appreciate your videos so much. 🥰
Love you! Thanks for mentioning me on your video!
Yeah. :)

Hi... how can we wash away the dyed colour ? Can we just dip in salt water to wash away? I think i got a dyed green phantom.
