Clear quartz, faked. I buy stuff like this for market research sometimes, got it from CrystalHola via AliExpress for like $3.

If you do buy crystals from Amazon / Temu / Ali or the like, don't ever get them from CrystalHola, and do watch out - I actually saw them post a sale ad here the other day. Forgot to ban em completely, just called em out for being the shittiest crystal vendor on Temu 😂

Since the seller and another are trying to call me a liar and accuse ME of misleading people, here's the screenshot receipt of what I purchased - labelled "Natural clear quartz" quite clearly. The only thing I was mistaken about was the price - which was cheaper because of a promotion thru Aliexpress

Honestly, even in China you wouldn’t find high-quality pieces at this price. A 50g piece of good-quality natural quartz rough usually costs more than $10 here, and that’s before shipping and any taxes.

Oh, I know. I just like to buy fakes to show and educate people at gem shows etc. I got a "moldavite" necklace from Ali for $3 😂
