That aragonite star cluster is worth $11 max. Average $5-$7so it was super super overpriced!!! aragonite is Not an expensive mineral. Just thought you should know 💓
Yeah, I was a bit shocked when she said $13 was cheap, I remember paying 100kr (≈$10 usd) for a somewhat larger cluster, and I knew that was still on the more expensive side, since it was at a physical store in the center of the city (so high rent prices raises the product prices)
Love the Amethyst and the orange star my faves! And I know this vid was made 2 years ago but i just seen it first time and i agree 100 on the quality this go round better than last vid. ✌️ ❤
Love this. I order so many off of Etsy bc I'm worried about Amazon. In my experience the real crystal jewelry beads are what I've sadly bought that were low quality or just completely fake. I've considered a few of these shops, so I really appreciate the video! And subscribed❤🤗
etsy has scammers too sadly. the only way to truly know what you’re buying and where it’s from is from crystal conventions and straight from the miners.
I love the Amazon video! I buy some on there for my shop and personal and have seen these brands/shops and I wondered how they were! Thank you! This REALLY helped me!
I love in upstate New York, & there's a crystal shop by my house with really good prices. Like the argonite star is the size of my palm for $30. & I get 10% off my orders. Really good quality.
i'm still new and amazon scares me. how do you know if something is created in a lab or not? i'm subscribing to you so i can learn more crystal information and good quality stores. i don't want to be sucked into fakes. sometimes i get scared i'm attracted to the super polished pretty colored ones but all of these looked so pretty.
I felt the inflation hit because I ordered 0-0.5lbs amethyst with selenite stick from the same place for $29.99. I love my little egg so much! It's so pretty! Just like yours but half the size.
Kalifano has a super awesome store in the forum shops in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. We purchased an absolutely massive and gorgeous orange calcite sphere there years ago and it's one of my favorites still...granted calcite is not a super expensive material but it's a pretty good size, over 5 lbs for sure. They had tons of really cool stuff to look at too. Highly recommend if you love crystals and are in Vegas! ETA. The sphere was $40.
Do a fire and scratch test if it burns or smells its not real. If it scratch its not real but some crystal are more fragile and some you can't do a fire test.
Yeah I personally wouldn't purchase from Amazon. They're an awful company and you really don't know where those crystals are coming from. Most likely from a poor family who mines. Children often times are involved in the mining with their family therefore child labor is involved. And they only get cents an oz so it's just not ethical to buy crystals like that.
