How to Spot Real vs Fake Crystals (Don’t Get Scammed!)

12 Jun 2025

💎 In the world of crystals, knowing how to tell real from fake is super important.

Many sellers in the market are selling fake or lab-created crystals made from dyed glass, plastic, or synthetic materials. These have no healing benefits and no real value.

At StoneAura, we only sell 100% Natural & Authentic Crystals — but here’s a quick guide for every buyer to check the difference between real and fake crystals.


✅ Easy Ways to Identify Real Crystals:


1. Check the Weight

👉 Real crystals feel slightly heavier.
👉 Fake ones (like plastic or glass) feel too light in comparison.


2. Feel the Temperature

👉 Natural crystals stay cool to the touch even in warm environments.
👉 Fakes quickly absorb heat and feel warm.


3. Look at the Color

👉 Real crystals have natural, uneven color variations.
👉 If it looks too shiny, neon, or flawless — it's probably fake or dyed.


4. Bubbles = Fake

👉 If you see bubbles inside, it’s probably colored glass.


5. Do a Scratch Test (carefully)

👉 Real crystals like quartz are hard to scratch.
👉 Fake stones or glass get scratched easily.


6. Price Seems Too Good? Be Careful

👉 Genuine crystals are never dirt cheap.
👉 If the price seems too low, it could be synthetic.
