You are the first person I have seen that has a definitive explanation on how to tell if stones are real. I have been buying from an online source and am discovering that almost every seller is selling counterfeit gemstone beads. Most obvious are those that don't even know the definition of tge false description in their own listing. For instance one seller listed jade as "Rubys Chalcedony" jade which means to me its not real.
Karen, my birthstone is aquamarine. I never cared for the color at all. Until today, you showed me BEAUTIFUL aquamarine crystals. I'm quite sure that what I have seen and given in the past has been fake. The real aquamarine is breathtakingly beautiful!
Just found you and LOVE it x I buy gemstones and crystals from a reputable retailer here in the U.K. but have bought other stuff on the net & none have been what they were supposed to be (opalite instead of moonstones & fake malachite)your videos are so useful. THANK YOU x
I wasn't really interested in aquamarine because I thought that it's just a blue glass looking stone and I can never make sure if it's natural.. until now when i watched your video. And now I'm really excited about aquamarine. Thank you!
Hi Karen, thank you for this video. ♥️♥️♥️ I'm now checking my aquamarine bracelet and I remember the seller saying it's a butter aquamarine, it's not transparent and almost close to the color of larimar.. Does butter aquamarine really exist?
I am absolutely a,Azzeddine that aquamarine can be in those other forms, with cat eye effect and especially the star effect!!! I never knew this. It is my absolute favorite stone for jewelry. I’ve been looking for a very clear, pale green blue stone in a ring, for all my life. Not that I have the money to shop much but I always keep my eye out for what I think is the fervent stone for me. Can they be very clear and on greenish side like I am saying? Thank you!! I’m SO happy I’m finding more videos on real vs fake. SO happy.
Thank you for educating us newbies. I really appreciate it. I love your pendant but you sold out on it in your website. I wish you have some more of it.
@@KarenHuiCrystals The single Aquamarine pendant is what I meant. Yes please make some more. I also mentioned that I am interested in getting a matching Aquamarine 8mm bracelet. I look forward to more videos from you.
Hello Karen, I was wondering if the bigger the stone, the more power it has, or if it works like that? And how to know which stones, crystal, gems, that I should keep apart, how to take care and store. I to charge the beads and to work with them as i hear people say or is just wearing them have the same benefit?
Hi, small beads are beneficial to you as well, it's not about large or small. It's the energy that counts, and you need to cleanse them regularly because they store memories, good and bad. If you don't wear them often, you can put them on top of gravels or raw stones.
I have never seen aquamarine like that…beautiful! I have some opaque light blue stones, but not like this!! Thank you for showing these beautiful specimens! Blessings, Anna UK. 👍👍👍❤️
Hi Karen, I really love your videos on crystal stones. After watching your video on aquamarine. I got concern because my aquamarine crystal stone looks different with what you have. I wish you can look at my aquamarine bracelet so that you tell me if its fake or not
Hello Karen! Just discovered your channel and am overjoyed! You are so wonderfully knowledgeable on this subject. Can you do a "Real or Fake" video on Green Jade. It is my favorite and I recently found a supply of good green "Natural" jade. I have tested it with alcohol and soap and water, and so far no color removal. Is there anything else I can look for? I would hate to misrepresent my jewelry to my local clients. Thank you and I look forward to your videos!!
Hi, green jade is color enhanced with heat-treated in the raw stone formation, so no matter how much alcohol and soap you use to test them, the color won't be removed. For jade, unless it's fake like glass or plastic, or color dyed with finished products that can be easily spotted with eyes, you need to do a gem test for other treatments.
@@KarenHuiCrystals Thank you so much for this information. I will just have to disclose to my clients that the jade is, to the best of my knowledge, undyed,
Hi Karen, i came across this really beautiful and inexpensive crystal recently, 凤羽晶 phoenix feather crystal. Surprisingly it is not commonly sold and that got me wondering if it is man made? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us
Hi Karen. I've recently retired from a physical & psychological job in December. Since then I've had & recovered from Covid, lost my best friend from ALS & have felt distraught, distracted & very out of sorts. I jumped into the chakra by buying bracelets. I have one tiger eye, then green malachite & now a double rowed 7 chakra bracelet. I strive to follow oriental & Native American philosophies. Can you assist in proper usage by wearing correctly & for my personal serenity. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for your trust, in your special case, I will recommend you wear labradorite or moonstone for your emtional healing first, tiger eye may be too strong for you at the moment. You need something soft. Malachite is good, it will help to activate your heart chakra, but remember to cleanse the bracelets before wearing. I don't know what stones in your 7 chakra bracelet. :)
I have a question to you mam, recently I have brought and Customized crystal bracelet. At the time of purchase I could fee that size of crystal is unsize and big after use it for few days the size of crystal become reduce it getting smaller in size. is there any specific reason for that.
Thank you for doing these real or fake videos. They were extremely helpful!!! Since I don’t have a testing center near me, I’d like to know if the ice cube melting test really works? Or are there any other ways, apart from knowing what the natural clarity should be, to determine if it’s real? Thank you again!
Hi Karen, i was wondering if you can make a video about fake and real Matte Onyx please! I don’t know how to identificate them while i’m looking for them on etsy and alibaba suppliers. I would appreciate it so much. Thank you. Greetings

Hi, 凤羽晶 is man-made.
Can you actually tell if the beads are real by burning them? If they burn they are fake. Is that true?
If the imitation beads are made with stones, there’s no use burning them.
