How to Spot Fake Man Made Color Dyed Enhanced Crystals? (With photo illustrations)

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.

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.

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.

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

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

hi karen missed you guys amazing vid wish you showed the real ones thanks karen

[skylover]

Thank you for the informative video! i really learnt alot. Might you by any chance be able to do a video on Alashan agate (阿拉善玛瑙), and how to tell if they are real or fake, and how to tell apart the different gradings? thank you so much for your consideration!!

[BlessedBaubles]

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!!

Thank you for sharing. That means most of what I have seen it’s fake on Etsy. 😱😱😱🧙🏻‍♂️🔮💜🙏

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!

[hycinth]

Good video. Would you share your knowledge on jade please.

Hi, I love your channel. Where's the best site to buy individual beads and please tell me the best string to, use to string them up with as I use thick waxed cotton string but they do pop off and break after a few months of use. Thanks

Hi karen, will you open a shopee shop in Malaysia? We have so many crystal lover here. Please consider opening one.

[lorenachamberlin]

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.

I think i have a heated citrine and colour dyed phantom if from this photo slides.. i already have my doubts before

[annnoyez]

Pity you didnt put the real thing to. Now we cant compare them...

[eyceemanaba]

I hope you will bring back your shopee store in philippines karen. please I will buy Aquamarine the real one from you 🙏🙏🙏

[TheEthanllemit]

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
