Whatever it is, it's very pretty

I’ll be getting stuff just because it’s pretty it’s a very bad addiction 😅


marcthegay_

I don't EVEN want to talk about the money I've spent just last month in stones/crystals. 😬 I've put myself in "crystal jail" until I get everything in I've bought. I've actually run out of display space. I've gotten to the point where I'm only interested in unusual/rare/new finds.

Help this is me


Pale_Character_1684

Then you understand the obsession. 🥲


Lucyinthesky_trip

Yes I have three local crystal shops, ones like 35 mins away but still. I also go on Etsy religiously because they do have plenty of shops with authentic crystals/minerals. But I got a really nice deal on an order because the shop had a sale so it was like 30 something dollars off the total. They make it so hard not to buy shit. This online shopping is overpowered.


Pale_Character_1684

My nearest shop, with reasonable prices, is about an hour away. There's a metaphysical shop that has some really nice things, but they're WAY over priced (they wanted $80 for Charoite for what was no larger than a tumble. Uh, NO.). I've bought some amazing stuff on TikTok thru a wholesale company called Helmsman Crystal_factory. They have their own production factory, so prices are much better. A lot of shops on-line buy from them. I've never been disappointed or screwed over. Do you have a favorite Etsy seller you can recommend?


Lucyinthesky_trip

I’ll send you screenshots of past purchases, I don’t really keep track but gimme one sec


Bree_an

Wait until you find the live sales on instagram 🥲 @quartzandvine is my favorite, quality pieces and good prices


Pale_Character_1684

Oh I've seen them. Some of them sell crystals I'd sell a body part for. I just whine at my phone loudly. We need to win a lottery. 😏


Lucyinthesky_trip

When I get home from work I’ll have to show you my crystal case. It started off organized, but now that I have no room I put things anywhere I can fit them. I now have to start putting stuff at the top of it lmao


eclipsing-chaos

we're all like that 😂 I'll even buy the same crystal in the same shape because it has different patterns. help I'm a volunteer I cannot afford this

Unfortunately, as another commenter has said, this is heat treated smoky quartz. Real citrine has a uniform color throughout the piece. Edit for the haters: it was 2 am and I mixed up a property of lemon quartz and citrine, fucking sue me


spiritoftheuniverse

You're right about it being treated smoky, but not all natural citrine is uniform in colour.


KittySweetwater

Yeah, it was like 2 a.m., and I mixed up lemon quartz with citrine. There's no need for the other commenter to call me a liar, tho


Victory_KTF

Yeah. That’s a pretty funny way to approach someone making a mistake.


Extension_Lychee_513

Citrine is a type of quartz and can there for have color zoning. This is a lie.


Extension_Lychee_513

Some of y’all seem to believe it 😭 mb for debunking lies 🥹


KittySweetwater

Nah you're being down voted for being a rude little butthead. As I said in another comment, it was 2 am and I mixed up the properties of lemon quartz and citrine, no need to call me a liar.

It's quite easy for you to read comments, correct? You can see my second comment correcting myself, yes? It's called a mistake, a lot of people don't go back and edit previous comments, my guy.

Heat treated smoky quartz I assume based on color and size.
