🔍 4. How to Tell if a Crystal Is Real

The global crystal market is booming—and so is imitation crystal production.
Here’s how to protect yourself when shopping:
✧ Visual Clues
Natural stones:
✔ Inclusions and texture you can’t replicate
✔ Subtle color variation
✔ Visible internal growth pattern
Fake stones:
✘ Glass-like flawless clarity
✘ Neon colors not found in nature
✘ Identical pieces with no variation
✧ Temperature Test
Real crystals feel cool to the touch, even at room temperature.
Glass warms quickly in your hand.
✧ Density and Weight
Crystals are denser → slightly heavier
Glass often feels light.
✧ Best Advice: Buy From Trusted Sellers
Independent makers and mindful crystal stores—like StupaCrystal—take pride in sourcing from ethical mines and reputable suppliers.
When you shop consciously, you honor both the Earth and your own healing journey.
