Hello everybody this is Ana Satya also known as CrystalHealthGoddess if you are new to
crystals then this video is for you I made this video with the intention of
showing you and giving you some guidance in how to go about buying crystals if you
are new to crystals because there is a lot of scammers out there there is a
lot of fake crystals out there than are being sold as real and at crazy prices
on top of that so I want to show you how to avoid being scammed by somebody else
because they know you don't know about crystals in my last video for example I
got a few comments from some people specifically about the fake crystals
that are on eBay now I want to make clear that this video is not about
trashing Ebay at all okay? because there is a lot of fake going on on eBay
absolutely 100% but there is also some real people selling some beautiful
authentic crystals of course they're not going to be $5 or $10 crystals obviously
so that's one indication as to when crystals also are fake or real
because fake crystals especially the ones that are sold on Ebay normally are very cheap. So when
I started working with crystals many years ago, I was very sick and it was one
of the worst times in my life actually I'm not gonna go into that on this video
I can make another video if you want about that but I am bringing that up
because I was scammed at first by sellers too so I know a lot about being
scammed when you don't know about crystals and I
spend a lot of money at first on crystals and then I learned they were
not even real crystals for example one of the very first crystals that I got
on ebay is this crystal that you can see right here okay
this is an authentic crystal is a beautiful crystal and it has some really
beautiful energy as well but I paid five hundred dollars for this crystal five
hundred dollars because I was told that it was an Ajoite, it was a seller from
California I told him about my health problems and what I was going through
and he told me about this special crystal that he has then has a spoke
with him and that this crystal was meant to come with me and help me through my
healing process and I have read about Ajoite and it's an amazing beautiful
crystal is is very expensive of course, but he told me that he will sell it to
me only for five hundred dollars, what a deal! because I was sick because he
wanted to help me so I bought it and then when I learn about crystal as I
find out that this crystal is not worth more than $50 actually and I paid 500
for it so he scammed me and that was one of my very first experience on eBay
these crystals that I have here on this display I've got them on eBay as well
they supposed to be citrine crystals which they are not this is baked quartz,
it is quartz but is baked quartz and it is baked in a really really bad way
actually so it totally destroyed the crystal I mean when I come with the
camera closer and you wanna see it but this is supposed to be citrine and
it's not is trying to bake crystal and make
turning into Citrine they did a terrible job. Now Citrine is one of the number one
crystals that are sold as fake crystals but let's talk about citrine for a
second natural 100% citrine is really spensive and is hard to find is rare and
most of it comes from Madagascar or South Africa these display here that I
have all this is 100% real citrine all of these citrine we have citrine can go
from like lemon honey color to even like a brown gray color
100% real citrine these are citrine spirit quartz, these come from South Africa
these are very rare are more expensive of course but is real citrine then you have
the baked amethyst okay? and this is not a video about if bake Amethyst which
is considered fake citrine is good or not, you should buy or not, I have an
article on my website and I wrote in detail about a Citrine and baked Amethyst
sold as a citrine okay this is amethyst that has been
baked into citrine so when you bake amethyst sorry, it turns into this color
more like orange bright orange color and this is a real crystal this is 100%
authentic I Amethyst, VJ No! This is my dog she always barks when I'm in the middle
of making videos. Please no barking please. so this is real crystal but this is
amethyst that have been baked to turn into citrine why
so that is why they bake amethyst and turn it into citrine because real Citrine
is really expensive and rare to find so if you want to buy 100 percent real
citrine ebay is not the right place to do so just you know straightforward um
now how to recognize crystals how to recognize real crystal from fake
crystals. One of the reasons that I talk about what's going on eBay for
example is because as a crystal lover myself I see things that will really
bothers me so to speak because it's wrong it's just wrong for example this
is a man-made crystal right this is goldstone and it's a man-made crystal you
can like it, you cannot like it, but that's what it is but everybody who
knows more about crystals not everybody I'm sorry everybody who knows more about
crystals is aware that goldstone is a man-made crystal so then you have lab
crystals then you have enhanced crystals for example, crystals and are 100% real
but has been enhanced by man it doesn't take the quality of the authenticity of
the crystal away from it, but it has been enhanced by men for example are
the Aura quartz, the rainbow quartz crystals. This is an aura quartz, this is an
aqua quartz crystal Oh so this crystals has been enhanced by
men by adding particles of other minerals into it so they can turn into
these beautiful colors but they are real crystals they have been enhanced and now
when you gonna buy a crystal if he's enhanced, if he's lab created you know is
fake but at least they say it so I give credit to the people who are selling
fake crystals but at least they told you at least they say this is a lab crystal right?
rather than selling it as 100% natural crystal what really bothers me
when it comes to fake crystals and especially the ones you find on eBay and I
have waste some money just for research so I can show you this. These
are very popular on eBay right now for example they are called
a smelt quartz right, they can be like beautiful blue colors red color some
people call it like a red quartz, this is not red quartz! Red quartz is quartz with
deep heavy inclusions of hematite type for example, Moroccan red quartz is real
this is not real this is a smelt quartz, this is a smelt quartz, - now this is
smelt yellowish color is sold on eBay has pure citrine right this is sold as
red quartz, this spelt quartz is sold as blue quartz, now what really bothers me is that
they even call it quartz, because this is not crystal at all, this is not quartz at
all, this is glass this is colored glass but
they sell it as a smelt quartz so if you want to, this come from China of course,
if you want to sell these then call it smelt imitation quartz, smelt glass, I
don't know but don't call it quartz because it's not real quartz, and this one in
particular this blue one, you have them on eBay like a larger sizes probably
like these size or even more and they are not even cheap they are like really
expensive now for decoration yeah I mean it's pretty is you know it's very pretty
colorful, I love colors so for decoration you want to get it sure, but
please don't confuse this with real crystals because they are not real
crystals and they selling it as a spelt quartz, some people have told me oh I thought
that just the name of the quartz, for example you have rose quartz, you have amethyst
quartz, you have citrine quartz, so this is spelt quartz, people think is another variation
of the many different quartz than earth creates right? no it's not
they call it quartz but is pure glass plastic basically, so how do you
recognize real crystals from 100% completely fake crystals, okay when you
hold a real crystal it has a vibration you have an energy it has life, within
the crystal. You can feel it sometimes the crystal tend to be very cold at
first, sometimes it warms up in your hand so the temperature of the crystal it
changes based on contact with you based on your
energy on your connection with a crystal in the moment but it's a very specific
feeling that you get when you are holding a real crystal contrary when you
hold this in your hand and I hold this in my hand it's like you
holding plastic I mean it just it just feels like nothing, it feels like when you grab
a piece of plastic no vibration, no life, nor energy
no no nothing besides yeah I'm pretty but you don't feel nothing so I always
say when you want to know if a crystal is real just close your eyes
just hold the crystal in your hand and just really focus and take the time to
to feel the crystal, to connect with the crystal, because most often that now
you're going to your intuition your spirit it's gonna tell you this is a
real crystal of course is very difficult when you try to do that online because
just by looking at the crystal you can not feel it you cannot touch it you
cannot experience the energy of the crystal so how did you do that well
unfortunately there is an answer for that one trial and error and get scammed
like I did at first and you're gonna spend money on fake crystals I hope that
that doesn't happen to you because it's a really
frustrating thing when you try to learn about crystals and you fall victim of a
scammer selling you crystals that are not even real crystals, so how can you
avoid that? well if you wanna buy it from eBay the rule of thumb is if it is too
good to be true provably is fake, so if you see a crystal like these right
100% natural quartz crystal, tibetan quartz, and they selling it for like a ten,
twenty dollars, then that crystal is fake period, there is no way you're going to
buy a crystal like this, for ten twenty dollars or even forty dollars is just not happening,
so just apply a little bit of common sense sometimes. Crystals if you
are new, trying to get them from people here in the USA
Europe has some amazing crystals, I get some crystal from Europe sellers
and are really amazing I will try to avoid Chinese sellers I'm so sorry you
know for chinese sellers, I'm not trying to talk bad about China or you know
Asian sellers please forgive me that's not my intention but I am just speaking
about the reality of something that is happening on ebay, there is a lot of
people from China than they are really good at making fake crystals and they
are profiting from that so I am trying to help you avoid that so if your new to
crystals, to avoid that just don't buy crystals on ebay, period, or don't buy
crystals that are like super super duper cheap because big chances are you are going to get a
fake crystal and that's just the way it is. So buy crystal from known sellers,
contact the seller, talk to the seller, but this is very important look I have
some people who have contact me and say look I'm brand new to crystals I'm clueless
I don't know anything about crystals what should I buy
and if any of you who have contact me actually and watch this video, and you have got one of
the answers I normally give, please put in your comments so people can see
that is true what I'm saying but I have told many times people, look never ever
ever ever say to a seller you're brand new to crystal, you're clueless you
know about crystals, because you are giving then a road, to a road map to sell you a
lot more than you might even need initially, or more
expensive than want a real crystal is, just because they know that you don't know so
never say I'm brand new to crystals, I'm clueless about crystals just as ask your
questions ask suggestions but trying to avoid saying you know I am brand new to
crystals to avoid be a scam by people who are not very honest and are in this
business but I'm not very honest actually so I think actually when you
talk to real people that we are selling crystals to help others because we love
crystals we have much respect and admiration for crystals so you can see
that we're real - we're going to answer your questions
we're going to be just up from an honest with you and I think you can feel that
so that's the best way to go about how to buy crystals too, and avoid to be scammed
to be honest. So hope you enjoy this video if you have any questions feel
free to put them in the comments because I always answer to the comments as much
as I can, the really serious comments of course so ask questions you can contact
me through my website - I will be making more videos about this subject or if
there is anything in particular than you would like to know oh ask me and I will
be happy to make a video about it but I just wanted to make this video to caution
people than are new to crystals on how to avoid being scammed by people
that sell fake crystals and be very careful with eBay sellers of fake
crystals on eBay and unscrupulous sellers. So I hope you enjoyed this video
