Stop buying fake Crystals!

 Just a reminder real crystals are in the earth to serve all of us.

I am a qualified crystal healer, but I dont heal with crystals any more. I am however still passionate about anti rock mining and pillaging the earth for crystals. Equally I am concerned about the amount of new age fairs selling fake crystals to unsuspecting and naively trusting joe public.

Since gemstone therapy is rising again as people forget they are right under our feet and help us daily , I am spotting more fake crystals on the market.

Gemstone dealers often use weird names to conceal the identity of their crystals. They also do it to make it look more genuine and natural. For instance, if you come across terms like melon moonstone or aqua aura quartz, it is fake. Such fake crystals are usually made from glass and dyed with artificial colours or heated to change the colours.

A super bright crystal with beautiful colour pop is a sure-shot sign of its fakeness. In other words, if the crystal looks unnaturally fuchsia pink or bright lemon yellow, then the chances of it being fake are high.

A natural gemstone will always have imperfect patterns in it. It is due to the natural chemical composition of the crystal. So, if you come across a gem with perfectly symmetrical patterns, it is 100% fake.

What happens when you walk into a gemstone showroom and notice the retailer giving vague answers to all your questions? It could be a strong sign that he is not selling genuine gemstones.

Real crystals have hydrothermal veins, crisscross fractures, or any other type of inclusions. If you don’t spot any such signs, the chances of the crystal being fake are very high here.

Another method to tell if a crystal is real or not, is to check the presence of air bubbles. A genuine crystal will have scratches, small particles, or cracks. But, it will never have air bubbles in it. Their presence proves that the crystal is made of glass and was treated to look like a gemstone.

Its time to give up collecting crystals, real ones are pillaged from the earth and fake ones cost everyone money. Put your trust in God and the NHS to heal you. Look into healthy diets, Pilates and Chiropractic as one example I have done for better health. Dont buy these crystals in subscription boxes either, they are rarely genuine. You cannot get a hand sized Citrine for £14.99!

If you want to buy crystals for whatever reason then go to a ethical supplier. Ask them where and how there crystals are sought, how they are mined and what the cost of them are. You will be surprised that real crystals feel different and come with a higher price tag. It is worth it though, real crystals perform the best for healing also. It is an investment. Ask any genuine supplier whether a £14.99 subscription box with 'real' crystals in it is of any value. I would be surprised if they did not laugh at you. these charlatans seem to be ruling the scene at the moment as crystals have always been ever so popular. However you now know what to look for, keep an eye on what you buy and choose ethical suppliers over the ones that are shouting the loudest.

You wont go far wrong.
