Alexa Martha's Ultimate 7 Step Guide to Spotting Real Crystals

A Real crystal has weight due to the density of of crystal grit other than their synthetic counterparts. When you hold a crystal in your hand, it should feel substantial and have a noticeable weight to it. If the crystal feels unnaturally light, it most likely be a fake.

Color can be a good indicator of a crystal's authenticity. Real crystals often have vibrant and natural colors, while fake crystals may appear dull or have an unnatural hue. Familiarize yourself with the natural colors of different crystals to spot any discrepancies.

Some crystals, like quartz, are harder than others. You can perform a scratch test to determine the hardness of a crystal. Take a crystal that you know is real and try scratching the crystal in question. If the crystal scratches easily, it is likely a fake.

Transparency is another important characteristic to consider. Real crystals often have varying degrees of transparency, from completely transparent to opaque. If a crystal is too clear or perfectly transparent, it may be a synthetic crystal.

If you're still unsure about the authenticity of a crystal, don't hesitate to seek advice from an expert. Crystal experts and gemologists have the knowledge and experience to identify real crystals and can provide valuable insights.
