Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Very interesting site. I have tons of crystals mainly tumble stones and from reading this wed site I may have to take a lot of mine to a jewler to find out if they are in fact real.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi, It helps to know what you are buying..especially in the more expensive stones. That Moldavite looked fake...a very pale color than the usual. I would say if you are buying a more precious gem and you are not experienced take someone with who is or go to a reputable source.....and not just for price. As for tumbled stones...you will not get ripped off badly...what $1 or $2? Most tumbled stones are the real deal. But it is easy enough to go to the Internet and look up the stones. When in the business long enough you would learn about goldstone and its counterpart midnight stone....very fake...I did not know about the dyed aragonite being sold as malachite but howlite is most often dyed to look like other stones and malachite/azurite, turquoise and a host of other stones are partials in that they are reconstituted. It is part of the learning curve......just beware of the expensive side of the curve. Blessings and good luck, Dawn --- On Mon, 3/30/09, kristin Swint <Kristin1_7 wrote: kristin Swint <Kristin1_7 RE: [CrystalHW] a useful site Monday, March 30, 2009, 8:53 PM Very interesting site.
