Hello everyone, it’s been a while not seeing you guys. I have spent days to collect a lot of fake/man made/color dyed/ enhanced crystals and stones. I hope to help you avoid buying those kinds. Enjoy the video.

Sharing a lot of these photos for everyone, is not to make you more scared of buying crystals, is to let you recognize how the fake/man made crystals look like, so you can avoid getting them. With the word ‘man made’ is obviously not natural, it’s not even a crystal at all. I will film more real or fake videos once my house is completely done. Thank you.

did not know there are purple tiger eye bead 😯 wish i can ask you if my obsidian and tiger eye beads are real. i still can't really identify what are fake beads. from what i learnt from your past videos. color dyed crystal beads are real and seller do it in order to sell at a higher price. hope i have been right with this 😅. haha man made are definitely not real. agreed 👍 take care and be careful when self renovating the house 🏠

It would be helpful to have another comparison video, fake or manmade versus the real thing. Really appreciate this & ALL your videos 😍

Some of us are aware that we are buying man made dyed it is noted in description. Some glass stones are very attractive when dyed. As long as we let people aware. Thank you for sending this out to those who are not aware. I shared it.

I am so happy to have come across your channel. I have often wondered if the crystals purchased were authentic hence being able to use the power that they behold. Thank you so very much. New sub.

Can you show 2 to 3 fakes of the same crastals. And show the real ones next to them. And do some kind of test to see what the fakes feel or sound wrong. I'll be looking. As I very much like your teachings

I watch your videos and I get more and more scared of buying crystals in case I get the wrong one. I really like crystals because they come in all shapes and colours and sizes and to put to waste hard earned money on fake ones would be very disheartening. I hope I get to know a really honest-to-goodness seller like yourself. On my first attempt to go to Etsy???, I am still trying to learn about how it operates. I wish it is straightforward…simple. I hope to find your shop and be confident about buying crystals.

If I put real thing, you will be more confused. Just recognize these photos and do not buy something similar or look alike.

@@KarenHuiCrystals I can agree with your commenter. Seeing the real next to the fake on your other 2 videos was very helpful. It might be easy for experienced people to say, just look at these and know what’s fake. But it takes time to train the eyes and the brain. Besides, remember, we aren’t there to feel these stones, so we are trying to learn by sight. Please consider more of this video subject. I really think it could take off in a big way because not many people make videos from your experienced perspective. I also notice that you aren’t really responding to most of our comments. I’m sad about that. Maybe you aren’t interested to go further with this important subject? Perhaps you like to do other things? Thank you.

Hello Karen! I would like to have your input, i am a little confused. Do dimples or the circular marking around the bead hole mean that it is not real crystals? Does it mean that the beads with bead dimple markings are made of glass or plastic from a mold? Xie xie

Great video but I need time to read the text, then time to look at the stones. I can’t wait until you are able to make vids again where you show us fake and real. There is a lot to learn but you are a great teacher. Thank you for caring about this very important subject. May I ask… how did you learn so much? Even about which place has better crystals than others, or differing colors? Fascinating!! Thank you!!

Hi, if you have watched all my videos, you'll know why. I started to fall for crystals when I was 18 and learned about their healing benefits. And then it was a coincidence that I started my jewelry business in 2012. I met a lot of good crystal factory owners and learned from them as well. :D

@EH-fs2xm 2 жыл бұрын

What are the price range of these fake/man made beads ? Will people sell these on the high end and people might think there real just by the price? Could you make a video like this showing real stones/beads? Great video!

Thank you for sharing. I've was ordering many stones from China websites. But a year ago I decided to buy from a big company in the US. To make sure that I'm getting the real thing. Each gemstone has a hardness rating. You can buy a gemstone stone reading device also.

Most of my old crystal are not transparent type and not as stricking color, i supposed ive got myself a real deal? I know citrine are very very rare in this world so i never want to buy citrine. And i saw those very transparent type ill be wary too but i kinda like some of them just to wear it like nice jewellery and dont expect them to be real.

我当时看到还有蓝虎眼的时候都惊呆了之前只接触过棕色后来又发现好多种颜色慢慢猜到应该是人造的了又想到阿里巴巴好多直播都在高价卖这些人造蛋白石蓝虎眼大家抢疯了一条好几百🙄😑

@KarenHuiCrystals Жыл бұрын

蓝虎眼有天然的，但是颜色很暗，加色的蓝虎眼颜色鲜艳，受很多买家喜欢。其实，都是因为有市场才有做假。我10多岁的时候陪妈妈买水晶，是没有假的。

I have been wanting to ask. When you say "manmade citrine" (I had the "manmade citrine" based on the photo), is it still citrine? or is it just glass? Someone burst my bubble, but I need to verify from the real expert. Haha. Thanks

I have not seen your any of your other videos so I cannot really speak on how well you inform people with your video content in general. I’ve only seen this one. That being said I didn’t even bother watching this full video since it’s not really helpful when you are not comparing real crystals with fake, so people can note the visual differences. 😕
