Fake vs Real Quartz - Satin Crystals

[@sandcastle2069]

I have been a clairvoyant, healer and crystal healer for four decades, and I am also hyper sensitive. I can sense immediately if the quartz is real, or manipulated in some way. Their energy is like night and day, the manipulated one has probably only one tenth of the energy. They are pretty as decorative pieces, and I don’t mind having them in a room, but working intimately with them is in my opinion a waste of time. I also have problems with some real quartz crystals coming from China. I call them “dead”. It is like they are burnt out, exhausted, and their energy is not anything you would want around you unless it was to GIVE the stones healing and light. I have both cleansed them and energized them, without any result. I am now wondering if I should dig a hole in the ground out in a peaceful clean area without any traffic, roads or people and let them return to the earth for a year or so? It is weird to see how the rock and crystal industry has changed now that eBay is for everyone. Crystal clear quartz was easy to find up north where I live, often huge pieces as well. There was an abundance of amethyst and rose quartz, not that difficult to find real turquoise or citrine either. Now, it is rare to find untreated citrine. The prize in amethyst is high, new types of rock has been discovered. It is certainly a very interesting “field” to be in. Have a rocking Good Friday!

Thanks for sharing your experiences, they are very insightful! Let me know if you do bury those crystals back on the earth and what the result is!

Try putting them in a glass bowl with water during full moon , the water will capture the bad sensations and moonlight will cleans them internally

[@lilypoppy1962]

Where do you buy and find these real crystals ?

[@deepforestfire]

Etsy has a lot of seemingly reputable sellers of crystals. I am no expert, though.

[@liseraphina2421]

@@deepforestfire I have come across a LOT of fakes on Etsy.

[@patricialynn2464]

Excellent information. Thanks for taking the time to share. I have been sold glass as quartz and clarified quartz, I will educate my customers from your video and share it on my web page. Again thank you!

[@satincrystals]

You are welcome, Patricia. Thanks for spreading the word.

[@patricialynn2464]

I have received clear quartz crystal beads with divets on either end where the string would go thru from a reputable dealer. So with that being said, to me, these are just glass?

[@satincrystals]

It sounds like it but of course I cannot be sure. Perhaps they have some method of mixing Quartz with glass or shaping them into a particular shape? Your seller may not even know about clarified quartz or fake quartz. A lot of people don’t.

[@patricialynn2464]

Real quartz will generate spark n light when its rubbed together..

[@heynow7674]

You explained things very well. Thanks!

[@satincrystals]

Thank you for watching and for your compliment.

[@pinkiestcow]

That was a lovely video. Very informative. Thank you. I really liked the little wand you had in the video, when you were explaining about the synthetic quartz. Would it be available on your website?

[@satincrystals]

Glad it was helpful! I think you are referring to the Quartz phurba wand. We have sold out of those but we do have a few Rose Quartz phurbas left at: satincrystals.com/search?q=phurba

[@DistantLoner]

You talking about how quartz is found all over the world made me think about how you find small amounts of it in rocks normal rocks. Then you held up a big chunk of quartz saying it comes in that colour which you see most often, but I didn't notice you were talking about the colour and was like "Where do YOU live if you see THAT more frequently than slightly sparkly but normal rocks!?" It would be really cool if there was a place that looked like that.

Rock crystal. Hard, durable, beautiful, and inexpensive. 💎

[@nadif8437]

I've also heard that quartz will not magnify if you look at printed material through it, whereas glass will. I tested it out with my son, who is a big collector, and his quartz pieces showed the print at normal size just a little distorted, whereas my "quartz" sphere greatly enlarged the same print. Not sure if it makes a difference because he has large clusters vs. my sphere...

[@satincrystals]

Hi Nadi, thanks for bringing this up. This test is not conclusive in itself. The majority of Quartz will not magnify words, however it depends on the curvature and the light flowing through the stone. Your sphere could be real and magnifying the words because of its shape. You want to take all the tests into consideration when determining if your Quartz is real or not. 😃

[@nadif8437]

@satincrystals yes, I'm not so quick to count it fake because of that like i said, but it does have quite a lot of tiny bubbles too. But it's like the bubbles are on a plane, as if there are several invisible pieces of paper with them on it, if that makes sense

[@essyaboii]

I recently bought a clear quartz point necklace. It's not 100% clear, It's quite cloudy inside, and has it's inclusions and patterns. I bought it from a company who vows they have real crystals jewelry, but I want to make sure... 😭

[@satincrystals]

I was suggest posting it on some mineral forums to see if anybody can help you out! satincrystals.com/pages/crystal-mineral-and-meteorite-identification

[@Eugeneman18-18]

I have a real quartz and it looks like glass but it isnt its see Through and it has like ice inside and my friend had a yellow quartz but it was from a tree and my quartz had a mini tiny quartz on the right side

[@jordankay8578]

I found a heavy old amethyst cluster tea candle holder at an antiques store that was closing down. I paid like 8$ for it. It's heavy it's big. The very bottom has peeling patterns because it looks like it use to be attached to something at some point. Under the paper it looks like stone? Then straight up into the crystal points. It's got a nice purple hue to it an i am trying to see if it's fake or not. The color looks like it flows through the crystals naturally it doesn't look surface level. Each little individual crystal looks like it's glowing from within. Some stronger in color the others. The entire piece is the a bit bigger then my hand and has a somewhat square rectangular shape It looks like it was definitely broken off of a much bigger piece of what ever it came from. It's very pretty. I just want to know if it's real And is it safe to wash it? Its pretty dirty.

[@jordankay8578]

Peeling paper* not patterns

[@satincrystals]

Hi Jordan, if it is real amethyst then it is safe to wash in water. However, if it has raw edges where are you think the crystal points might break off I would be careful in water. If you want to post to some gem identification forms with your picture they will be able to help you out. See more here satincrystals.com/pages/crystal-mineral-and-meteorite-identification

[@sunflowersandpines]

So, what are the chances that my 16 mm quartz sphere without inclusions is reconstituted?

[@satincrystals]

I don’t know the percentage of chances but if you are in doubt, most likely it has been reconstituted.

[@rajeshreevirkar825]

Very good information🎉

[@satincrystals]

Thank you!

[@maedilein6802]

Does synthetic quartz vibrate at the same rate as natural quartz with inclusions?

[@satincrystals]

I don't know the answer to that, but maybe another viewer will! Thanks for asking.

[@Vamparellame]

Thanks for this video.

[@satincrystals]

You are welcome!

[@Elvis-guy1973]

How are you supposed to know when you are buying? Even the sellers have no idea sometimes!

[@satincrystals]

All you can do is further educate yourself!

[@isc8900]

does the ways to spot real quartz work on all kinds of quartz? like rose quartz, rutile quartz, smoky quartz etc?

[@satincrystals]

Spotting fakes in other Quartz related Crystals should be the same for the most part. There may be small differences for example rose quartz does not have Crystal Hexagonal pointed shapes.

[@isc8900]

[@alphacharm]

I’m trying to figure out if my quartz is real. My pendulum is a quartz but inside the quartz I can see something like dirt inside it. Is that real or fake?

[@rosealado7174]

Is quarts create fire when sun is there?

[@satincrystals]

That is a good question. I do not know the answer. I’m not sure if it has the same focusing qualities as glass. Glass “crystals” of course can magnify the sun rays and cause fire, but perhaps another viewer will know about natural Quartz and the sun. I know that you can use natural Quartz to create a spark when you are striking it against steel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6aboYVogdNrgsU

[@Raxor_ur-mom]

Why are all of them mostly transparent mine is not I know it's real because it came from outside and it's not smooth and not bumpy at the same time

[@satincrystals]

Hi, there are many versions of real Quartz, but for the purposes of this video we show the clear ones as they are the most faked! You can see many different examples in our Quartz meaning video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJmkmoOwdrV5mtU

[@actors504]

will real quartz have some glow of other colors when in the light?

[@satincrystals]

Yes, real quartz could have rainbow inclusions, or show some other colors in certain light, depending on what minerals got trapped in the process of its formation.

[@honestreviewzz]

My clear quartz was $6 so it's most likely fake. It's square shaped

[@guinnessworldrecordsholder]

Thank you for watching Raksha ☺️

[@LoveYouBeTrue]

What about black light test? Does it apply to quartz?

[@satincrystals]

Hi, thanks for watching and for your question. In its pure form, clear Quartz will usually not fluoresce under black or UV light. However, due to the large variety of Quartz out there, each with unique mineral inclusions, you may find different pieces glow under black light depending on the stone. It's not quite a definitive test and you would have to know more about your particular piece of Quartz to use the test accurately.

[@user-lc9lc2nt7u]

If quartz looks like a normal storm but if you burn test it doesn't burn is that real quartz

[@satincrystals]

If the stone does not burn it can be a number of stones or harder materials that don't burn, but can definitely rule out plastics or resins or materials that are flammable.

Mam, i want to buy a 100% original quartz . It’s call dur e najaf stone. Big fan from pakistan. InshAllah i hope you reply me😍😍

[@Adeeaaa]

But does glass scratch glass? What if my "quartz" is actually glass and glass scartches glass?

[@satincrystals]

Because not all glass is the same, glass can potentially scratch glass. You will want something much harder like steel or Quartz to scratch the "quartz glass" and see if it scratches.

[@singhmandip4396]

Always support your local Crystal store because they know what they’re talking about and make sure that Crystal store been in business for at least 10 to 20 years that way you know you always buying genuine crystals not fake but still always do your tests

[@bongcofelipe]

I have black and white quartz it's rare

[@swiss0926]

how do you know all of this... Are you a geologist

[@singhmandip4396]

I seen real clear quartz and they are not expensive very clear a little bit of inclusion and mist. Going up the crystal It’s £45. 3 inch tall about an 1 inch and a half going across I’ve also buy a clear quartz Crystal today an egg shape Crystal 2 inch across 2 inch wide 1 cm thick Crystal it’s very clear with lots of inclusions in yes I’ve done a test. A scratched test I scratched the glass with my Crystal, which scratched it very deeply extremely easy so yes, it’s a real one
