Firstly a little clarification: Fluorite is a 4 on the mohs scale of hardness, it is actually the very stone used to represent a hardness of 4 on the scale to be specific. Tiffany stone however is considerably harder with a mohs hardness of 5-5½. Also, Charoite: Much like the other rocks in this video, charoite is often found with a mixture of numerous minerals, thus, the presence of white, orange, or, even green crystals within the rock are not uncommon, the black minerals most often associated with charoite are in fact aegerine and augite although technically aegerine is a very very dark green that looks almost black, quartz and feldspars are also present in many specimens, there are in fact about a dozen different minerals found associated with charoite, thus, there are many cases where charoite may not resemble the "textbook" appearance of black/purple. Commercially speaking though; the textbook black/purple material with strong chatoyancy is considered to be higher grade material than material with a less uniform appearance. Personally my favourite charoite specimens have little, or, no black, but, instead are purple/green-"charoite/pectolite" and purple/orange-"charoite/steacyite". The presence of these other minerals lend to a different overall look in the material, thus, some people would not instantly recognise them as charoite. My advice for identifying charoite would be to have a browse through the photos on the mindat website for charoite, after familiarising oneself with the images; there should be very little chance of confusion with other rocks/minerals. The mindat website whilst being highly scientific and loaded with plenty of info irrelevant to most people, is quite easy to navigate on a phone, it's always there for when you find yourself tempted to buy something you're otherwise unfamiliar with.

[@catzkc5488]

Thank you so much for this info! I greatly appreciate the geology behind minerals and rocks as well!

[@hannahbannach1181]

OPAL PLEASEEE I love that stone and I get fooled so often😭

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

I will add to the list. What are you seeing as fakes opalite or something else?

[@hannahbannach1181]

@@ColdBrewBarbie not really sure how to answer this but I guess I just really love that stone and have such a hard time distinguishing what features are authentic compared to fake. Price has always been a tell for me, but you know even fakes can jack up a price to make it look real. I would love to hear how you figure out from pictures what is truly real🖤🖤 love your videos btw and sending you so much love and support!!

i work at Zion Prospector. THANK YOU for the shoutout!! i very much enjoyed this video on our tiffany stone. good info ❤️

[@Foodmakeupskin]

Charorite is such a beautiful stone . Interesting didn’t think that black had to be in it with the purple . so horrible that someone would try to pull a fast one on people and sell rare crystal prices !!! Thank you for this informative video !

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Yes it’s super sad, I hate seeing people getting ripped off, that’s why I make these videos! Too many fakes out there or sellers who don’t known any better!

[@cherylsim9385]

Yassss that’s why I get all my huge Tiffany pieces from an old miner from Brush Wellman mine too🙌🏻🥰💜

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Yes that’s the best way to get it directly from the source since it’s so rare!

[@xErinxx]

Thank you for talking about charoite vs fluorite! For my birthday last May I really wanted a charoite piece (purple is my favorite color + I love black and idk, I just really vibe with it?) so I went on Etsy, and I kept seeing those fluorite crystals when I searched for charoite, to where at first I was confused and thought ‘Maybe I’m wrong and it’s called something else?’ I then google searched charoite a bunch and confirmed that I was indeed looking for charoite. So I continued back on Etsy, and I got frustrated at how many non-charoite looking crystals were labeled as that. I was like, ‘these are obviously different types of stone how could they not catch that?’ But eventually I was able to find a good priced charoite sphere and it’s so beautiful. It has a bunch of black spotting all over it and the purple swirls are absolutely perfect. I even love the 2 brown stone inclusions it has!

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Yes it’s so frustrating to see this! It’s just sellers who don’t know what they bought or worse they trying to scam you into buying a cheap knock off! So glad you found one that is genuine! Glad you didn’t get suckered into the fakes!

[@SavingMamasita]

My daughter loves stones and collects them too! This is a very helpful video and it is great to know as there are so many stones out there, especially in the Etsy shops. It is difficult to know what is real and what isn’t especially when you purchase online.

[@domdom7084]

Great video. I have both charoite and huge selection of fluorites in my collection but never thought someone may try and sell fluorite as charoite. Once someone sees genuine charoite and gets lost in all the details of it, it just isn't possible to mistaken ot for anything else. Plus my jeweller keeps telling me stories of how they try to get charoite out of Russia into Europe which is actually incredibly difficult if not impossible now that the mine has been closed for around a decade.

[@laceashwell3676]

Def love these videos keep em coming. It's so hard finding reputable places to buy crystals. I dont know where to look anymore. Amazon is a joke.

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Oh yes never ever look on amazon. In my crystal haul videos I recommend a bunch of reputable sellers! I also have a crystal shop and I source from reputable seller. I would not recommend buying from big box stores or huge suppliers.

[@aaronfuentes6645]

I enjoy the concise presentation. Learning fast track

[@katepanthera7265]

Been trying to find a good moderately priced charoite pendant. Another huge tip-off is price. Online if you're shown a big honking piece of 'charoite' and it's under $50.00, it's fake. Seller may show a stone that's genuine, but you'll be sent a fake. I also assiduously avoid anything from India or China. If it turns out to be garbage, usually it's too cost prohibitive to return. (which is what unethical sellers count on.) Really good video and explanation.

[@chachu9530]

Please do for tourmaline, tiger eyes and obsidian

[@pandascrystalparlour]

I am so loving all your crystal videos! You gave me the push I needed to start my crystal etsy store, I would love to hear you talk more about how you started making sales after opening, and how your sales have increased over time. Thanks!

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

So glad you enjoy the videos!! I was planning on doing a video of what I’ve learned on Etsy after a year of selling crystals!

[@spookynoodle5622]

This was super helpful. I recently got a piece of lapis lazuli that I thought was fake due to a weird band cutting the piece into almost equal halves. Turns out it was just a band of pyrite!

[@HorrorGalSusan]

Thank you for this! I literally JUST bought a lapis lazuli point and ring and wanted to be able to make sure they were legit (and they are !!)😀

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Oh good so glad they are!! I think most are there are just a few people who sell fakes or don’t know they are selling fakes!

[@trustyjuul4833]

Another point out about charoite is that.. real charoite tend be sometime linear but they're very scattered. But they're real chaorite but cut differently since it was a tumble stone. Worth point out that they actually SHINE. Charoite have soft shine. ( Still high grade, reputable seller) As well there is charoite with white spots and black rock, greyish.. they are lowest grade of charoite. But they don't look like charoite in any way. It's obvious to be point out very obvious sign of real charoite is the wavy and blending on surface. Fakes as well can be resin made easy to replicate the charoite stone, and sold as real. Dead give away is glassy feel or plastic. And weight. They are fakes as well. All you have is look at the patterns , it's very crucial. Big fan of charoite 😚💕

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Love this!!

[@trustyjuul4833]

@@ColdBrewBarbie also fun fact about Lapis lazuli under uv light longwave, they show red/orangeish dark spots ( inclusion) where at other fake stone doesnt. Sodalite will show white as magenta. But bare to mind the finer versionof Afghanistan lapis don't show red speckles a lot. And some do show yellow.

I'm wondering about real vs fake carnelian. From what I'm reading, real carnelian should be more of a cloudy and solid orange color, maybe almost a little reddish, and it's becoming very rare. The owner of a rock and gem shop told me that carnelian is just agate. But then I read that it's not, and that agate is being dyed, heat treated, and sold as carnelian, and you can tell by looking for the banding. I'd really like to find the truth! I'm not finding much by just searching on Google. Maybe I'm searching with the wrong keywords. Help? Lol

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

I haven’t heard of fake carnelian yet, dyed anything is usually easy to spot because the color looks unnatural or it’s all over one color. I’ll do some research on fake carnelian!

Hi, your video is very professional and you are so helpful. I collect stones and I am pretty sure about most of them. What makes me confused is morion (smokey quartz) which is rare and they often sell clear quartz that goes through irradiation process. I myself have two of these stones and I am not sure about them. Can you somehow recognize the signs of irradiation? Thanx a lot :)

Yes it was probably dyed to look more blue!

[@aartis6279]

Many times real Lapiz is dyed to give a darker colour which is preferred by some customers. Once I bought a necklace and placed it in salt water to cleanse. After few hours the dye started coming off. I was surprised as I bought it from a genuine seller and later learnt that it is common market practice to dye Lapiz jewellery and that shouldnt be concerning at all.

How much is Tiffany stone?

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Tiffany Stone is pretty expensive. I bought two pieces from a direct miner and supplier in Utah. For my smaller piece it was $30 and my larger piece it was $160! In my last crystal haul videos I show these pieces if you want to see what they look like! Typically I’ve seen Tiffany stone selling for over $100, it’s pretty rare to find cheap Tiffany. $30 is pretty much the cheapest I’ve seen and that’s from a direct supplier

[@catheryn1330]

Or rose quartz

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Rose Quartz is not really faked. It’s very abundant so there is not need to fake it. Follows the same properties as clear quartz, if it has bubbles inside and it’s too clear it’s probably dyed glass

[@catheryn1330]

How about jade?
