I know u mentioned wish. They are suddenly selling a lot of crystal towers and just wanted to know if those were real. I knkw their tarot decks are knock offs just wanting to see if their towers and pendulums are too!
Thank you form mentioning that about China and gemstones! There is such a stigma because there have been fakes but unfortunately there are fakes everywhere. So many stones and minerals are mined in China and get great deals because they are locally mined. You just have to do a little research and ask friends and those you might follow for hints and tips. ✌💜💎💫
omg I’m totally gonna have to grab those cute fluorite towers they look such good quality! And totally agree about crystals from China, my BEST and most unique crystals are from a seller in China 😌
Yes, there are a lot of authentic crystals from China. All of my stones came from China (I'm from southeast asia) and so far they're all authentic and there's a lot of crystal markets there. I buy my crystals from live sellers so I can see and choose the piece I'm buying.
I went on a hunt for a African Turquoise, either a stone or a necklace/bracelet. I couldn't find ANY stone at all, but the jewelery were around 50-150 dollars. I Found a Mala on WISH of all places for 20 dollars? So i ordered it! I'll see what it's like when it arrives, the seller had 5/5 stars and people seemed very happy with their orderes. I really hope its authentic and as nice as it looked on the picture!
***WHEN I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THESE CRYSTALS AND FILMED THIS VIDEO OVER A MONTH AGO THESE CRYSTALS WERE LISTED ON SHEIN, THEY ARE NOW FOR SALE ON ROMWE*** I've put the link to the items I found on romwe in the description box!
@@lilypoppy1962 so some man made are technically fake but still have property's. Like goldstone has copper in it and copper has healing property's. So not a complete fake. Unlike smelting qaurtz which is glass and glass only and has no property's whatsoever . Hope that helped 😃
i’ve never gotten the crystal beads from michael’s, but i can tell most of the ones at hobby lobby are fake, specially the quartz/quartz variations (amethyst, rose quartz, etc) which are mostly glass
Hmm, so tempted to buy some crystals from Shein, but because of all the negative things going on with Shein in the past makes me hesitate (fast fashion and stealing of art of smaller creators)
HEY YALL! so i believe this is different for everyone but you can find most of these on romwe and a few on shein in my like pov ig I couldn’t find much of these on shein but did on romwe :) THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE!
Thank you for sharing this video, I wanted to get some crystal beads from Shein to make my own necklace and bracelet, but I wasn't sure if they were real or not, for the price I got a little suspicious. I always heard as well that real crystals are very cold to the touch and have imperfections. However, when it comes to beads they all look perfect to me, so it is hard to figure out which ones are real crystals beads and which aren't
Have you done a video on the difference between genuine citrine and baked amethyst yet? If not that's definitely something people need to know about. The owner of the gem shop in my town didn't even know that her citrine wasn't legit she didn't believe me!
I loveeeeeee rose quartz and amythest they are some of my favourite ones and I have a clear quartz that is pointed and very beautiful and small and they have good energy 💍 👑 💎 🔮 💠
Pleasantly surprised! 😊I put few orders with SHEIN last year during the lockdown, but never saw crystals … must be a new thing! China has amazing crystals, unfortunately fakes as well, and that’s why this stigma keeps going around 😔
I also bite or tap the beads on my teeth . To me I can tell plastic that way. For pearls it's a proven way to tell real from fake. Real pearls feel gritty on your teeth.
I just found you. I use to have a rock shop in northwest Arkansas. I am going to try to wrap again. Looking forward to watching more pod cast. Thank you 😊
Question, I just accidentally hit my tooth on my clear quartz necklace then I started worrying about it being toxic to me so I washed my mouth out, will it harm me, it only hit the front of my tooth
I'm frustrated... I basically love crystals and I mean LOVE crystals but the thing is I can't find any ethic crystals or a online crystal stores that don't include child labor...are there any stores that don't support child labor or do stand for human rights..? 😭😭😭
I love your concern for ethical crystals . Thank you .. I don't know if this is of any help but a lot of legit properties such as gravity weight ..hardness of rocks. ..ECT... I am a rock hounder and have seen a lot of shady as well as fakes out there
I just bought two crystal necklaces off shein and I’m just wondering if I wear them do you think they’re bringing bad luck and bad energy because they’re fake
I saw many people say that especially on TikTok so I kinda don’t wanna wear them if it’s true. but I’m not into crystals and I know nothing about that so I just bought them bc they looked cute and I thought they would be a cute accessory
I just bought some.. and what I got was sooooo disappointing,I should've known better... some things were ok but some are terrible... and well some I'm not really sure what exactly they are. Lol
I hope that my moonstone crystal is real 🤔, Cause I've bought a hexagonal one w the necklace and I tested it on the cheek and it's like ice cold, In here they sell those for like 10 dollars so it better be real 😂
In your opinion ???girl just prove it’s 100%😭 Y’all put a tip of yo crystal in fire and if it doesn’t burn and you can scrub it off, it’s real it’s more info on how to do it on yt
I Bought a few things from a place called Mindful Souls im curious if there real cause some are very skeptical i got a laborite wand that seemed fake it didnt have much of the rainbow color. I also got a laborite necklace called a dragonheart it dont seem real because i have forgotten i was wearing it and wore it in the shower for a very long time haha whoops! they actually say to hold underwater for 20mins to cleans everything...they probably shouldnt have that on there if there real?? they do have EMF Reiki Orgone Pyraminds also How do u know those are REAL??
SHEIN is based in China, I just saw the website for the first time and read their about page, which was a red flag. When I first started selling crystals in 2014 I started of in China because it was cheaper, probably the biggest mistake I ever di
Oh gosh don't get offended she was just guessing by what she knows, I thought it was real too but my friend's mom is a lapidary just sadly telling her. sorry I somehow offended you..
I love Shein though I highly recommend it and I love her videos so I'm not offending her in any way, also it's a necklace that cost a dollar fifty it's still a great necklace even if it's not a real crystal.

I mean, they sell opalite, goldstone and blue goldstone as well as cat's eye, all of which are man-made. All of the other crystals I have purchased from Earthbound are real.
@@kelly9379 that’s interesting, maybe smelt Quartz sold as fluorite ? If it is a moving bubble, it can be natural but if the pattern is like small bubbles like in glass it is most likely smelt Quartz or glass. sorry to hear you are having concern with your fluorite
@@ColdBrewBarbie yeah they look real it’s just because it was such a low price it was fake, I kinda wanna get it so I can cut them of and use them to make rings and necklaces because they already have a hole through the middle

It depends on where you get it from. There are a bunch of different companies on wish. Best way to tell is to go through the reviews

Based on the pricing I would definately question weather they are ethical. Also fluorite is faked alot.
Fluorite is faked if you are buying it from the wrong places like China
It isn’t actually faked a lot, but people think it’s faked because they are not familiar with fakes and real

If you use Paypal and you get a fake, you can request your money back!
There is no turquoise found in Africa. I believe "African Turquoise" is actually a type of Jasper that may or may not be dyed to resemble Turquoise.

can you please do this on crystals from aliexpress? ive seen some pop up but i feel like they're not rea
Can you set them on fire 🔥 on your IG or are you 💯% sure ?
Try using a lighter and if it melts it’s fake if it doesn’t and u can rub off the black silt then it’s real

That's not a good test. The only thing the fire test does is determine if it's plastic or not. Glass will pass too. And most fake crystals are glass
I hold crystals to my cheek too! LOL
more video like this pls
My problem is that shein, aliexpress, etc don’t ethically source labor. So I don’t feel comfortable purchasing from them.
i cant find them on shein??
Rainbow moonstone is actually white labradorite
