I recently bought a rhodonite that was high quality. When I received it, it had small banding on some of the stones and thought it was weird. It just didn't feel like it was rhodonite. I think its the same material as what you got that is unknown. I hope we can find out what kind of stone it is. Thank you for this video Karen!
Looks like A is better quality as there are more inclusions and stronger red. However B has golden sunstone inclusion which makes the beads shines more, also very special. If redness, clarity and amount of inclusions are the key features, then, A would be considered as the better quality one?
Hello, I got some beads today that said they are AAA quality, but on several of them they have flat bottoms. Is that a clue that they are fake? I'm just starting to learn about stone beads.
Hi, this is a great and informative video. I have a question on some coloured old mine Russian Strawberry Quartz i bought recently. How do I know if they are not dyed? They are of a variation of red, orangey, pink and purplish brown. Each of them are of different specks of minerals and some are reflective inclusion. Thanks!
Thank you. I just received a "strawberry quartz" bracelet today. My first strawberry quartz and I don't think it's real? It's more of a brown color. Not pretty pink like yours.
Hi Karen thank you for this video! It’s useful as usual❤️ Lately I bought a strawberry quartz which comes in darker colour because the seller claimed it as old mine strawberry quartz. But this video didn’t show the similar strawberry quartz.. So I’m wondering is it real that there’s “old mine” strawberry quartz? Or am I scammed?😣
Hi, recently I found one online seller is selling color dyed strawberry quartz, it’s so red, like everything is red and the inclusion only has a little. I hope you don’t get that kind.
Hi Karen, I would like to buy a real aquamarine and strawberry crystal bracelet, what is the price . You can write in private, please, thank you . Just like the bracelets you wear , thank you !
