![]() We have decided to offer bracelets on a very select basis, every single bracelet we offer will be tested before it's sold due to the high percentage of fake material on the market. It was just covered in red flags.įast forward several months, I'd been getting lots of messages on Instagram on this material and literally seeing it everywhere so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a few pieces! I am sharing two of the test results of the pieces I decided to keep after I realized I wanted to make this a series!įaceted Gem Results - Not surprised by this at all! FAKEĬonclusion, while I do think this is a very pretty material with a very soft, loving energy, I still feel like it's overpriced for a form of quartz. Also, it was priced extremely high for a form of Quartz in my personal opinion. We like to source our stones from their origin country and due to the lack of availability with our trusted vendors, I felt like this was not a material we should carry. I reached out to all of my Brazilian friends and none of them knew what I was talking about, which I found extremely alarming so I decided it was not a material we would carry. I'll be honest, the name was very off-putting to me as well. It is said to be from from the Boquira Mine (no longer producing) in the municipality of Oliveira dos Brejinhos in the northern Brazilian state of Bahia. So, I've been seeing this material coined as "Lavender Moon Quartz" or even "Gem Blue Rose Quartz" that looked a little suspicious to me. ![]() However, if you feel guided to use them, go for it! Your intuition is your best guide! If you've been following us for a while, you know how we feel about fake/man-made crystals! My personal belief on fake/man-made stones is that they do not work for healing and are worthless for lack of a better word. I've been getting tons of messages on Instagram about some interesting materials we are seeing in the gem world, so I thought this would be a fun series on unique or suspicious stones! Send me a DM on Instagram if there's a stone you would like to see next! I've already got a very interesting one to share with you soon! But if you feel called to its beauty, then go for it! Just because something has been heated does not mean it's not valuable or beautiful. Do you need one because it offers new or unique healing properties, no because you probably already own Amethyst. As a collector for mineralogical, beauty and metaphysical healing, I personally love its appearance and will only carry authentic and beautiful pieces I feel are worth the price. Most of the material on the market (in my humble opinion), is overpriced for an enhanced stone, however, it is beautiful nonetheless. October 2022 Update: Confirmed by a trusted source at the Denver Gem Show 2022, what we are currently seeing on the market is indeed natural Amethyst, however, it is being heated to create the girasol-like (milky) effect.
