How Grade Crystals High to Low - Amethyst!

[@veronicafisher3762]

The Shaq quote 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for once again helping me become a better business owner.

[@SilverGem1]

Thank you so much for this awesome video! You're so right about material coming from China. Too many crystal sellers that got into this market in the last five years are selling fake and dyed material from their Chinese suppliers and describing it as "high quality" and "natural." Neither of which is true.

[@bridgette-annkillip2119]

Ain’t this the sad truth:(

[@adub264]

Best place , hands down to get the most authentic crystals! Love amethyst so much ! Thanks so much for sharing all the beautiful masterpieces.

[@karafoo3524]

Hi! Thank you so much for creating this video! It is very informative. Hope to see more like this in the future! Have fun in Tucson!

[@kiaracastellanos3653]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I truly appreciate you! You are so very knowledgeable and it so very kind of you to share! 💜🌈💜🌈💜

[@timpeters1794]

Thank you for all that you do. I just recently stumbled upon your Instagram and I am hooked on your content. I especially like your bit at the end about being authentic and honest and pursuing ownership of your business journey. Perhaps this is why you have done so well?

[@scottbaldeshwiler5120]

Awesome authentic American amethyst! Awes audience, absolutely adorable!

[@norah383]

Amethyst! I love it and want to touch and hold every piece on that table 😂. Thank you for the information to help us better know the quality we are looking at when purchasing.

[@mamachola6889]

Heya 👋 I've known about this information for many many years. I'm almost 70. But I am so glad you are telling current buyers what to look out for. I've always felt that quality is better than quantity when you're dealing with crystals. In my day we didn't have the Chinese imports which was lovely. We got it directly from the source with maybe one middleman. I was fortunate to have a wholesaler friend in the 90s that was very good to me. Most people were not blessed with that experience. But your videos are almost as good as being in a warehouse your self. I've been to your website it is fabulous. Can anybody buy what's on the website?! I do not know why your channel isn't more popular? Keep these videos coming we all need to learn❤

[@elissial.8348]

[@christineparisi114]

Amethyst is tricky to buy. Thanks for the clarification. I usually try to get the darker color and the bigger crystals.

[@friendsmakingmusic1751]

Thank you so much for the education.

[@carriew47]

Than you so much for the video!

[@cecilyerker]

I would think that the clearest and most vibrant purple would be the highest grade material, not necessarily the darkest or most pigmented

[@krissyk5298]

Thank you for such an honest and transparent video. May you have success always ❤

[@simonschemiebaukasten]

I have no idea about this whole topic but what I would really like to have: a complete Set of a Amethyst glade. Like also the other half. Is that common? Or is that more on the expensive side as in "you only preserve both halfes if both are A-level quality" leading to several hundrets of Dollar prices?

[@metalsplinter2]

Very informative!

[@kennyl.TheSilverJewelryGuy]

Great Video, so what is a good Wholesale price for "A" Quality

[@PClark6833]

What do you polish your crystals with?

[@michaelc3977]

How does the point size change the value?

[@joesizastrow6196]

Will you be around at Tucson???

[@bridgette-annkillip2119]

Yes

[@Spiritualism101]

[@fromthemines]

[@newbengraham4775]

[@mukongshu]

to be honesty, none of your crystal is impressive, all are trash, but i wish you good luck

[@Spiritualism101]

To be honesty??? Wow thats a hard job! Good on you for taking on the task. Someone has to do it right 👍🏻

[@MrityunjaySarkar-k8q]

Eye clean ransparency no visible inclusions should be d major parameter fr grading a crystal💖 u give much importance at broken repired💔❤️‍🩹..i completely disagree bro👎

[@marytidmore4605]

You'd make an excellent professor... the things we get to learn from you 🤩 Maryella2212

[@kristinadoliscar6471]

I don’t mind when you tell me where it comes from. Or what country to watch out for! I appreciate it so much because I want good ethically sourced material. That’s why I’ll continue to buy from you, where I know that you’re doing your due diligence and I can be comfortable purchasing! Speaking of amethyst. Today I received my first large ame geode from you!! I absolutely LOVE it!! It’s A grade ❤💎🫂
