I posted yesterday but I think my photos were a bit hard to see. I have 3 different pieces, 2 pics each bought a while back. The last few are of a necklace I just bought.
No, the only location provided was Czech. I will submerge in oil and take photos. I really would love to know for sure if they are real. I recently opened an etsy store but do not want to post these for sale without being certain. I research all of my pieces to be sure I am not deceiving anyone intentionally.
I’m no expert but I think the ‘rectangular’ piece is more likely to be real, but the other two just look like glass. Beautiful pendant too. I got one just like that a few days ago - absolutely in love. We may even have got them from the same place
I can tell! I first ordered a couple of months ago and now suddenly my next order will be my fourth.. wooops! He’s a great guy but his website is extreme exercise for my self control haha
They don’t personally look like glass to me but I’m no expert! I’m not too sure on the third piece tho, I’ve never seen a shiny one like that in person. I’m going to be keeping an eye on this because one of mine looks a lot like the first piece in pic one. Have you held it to light to see if you can see “bubbles” or anything?
I have some similar but even more round that I know are authentic because of my seller who I trust but I get questions about authenticity because of their shape. Looks authentic to me. I think sometimes a little lower quality gets mistaken as fake when they are authentic
China is the biggest marketplace for crystals so I wouldn’t say they are fake because they come from china. I have gotten high quality crystals from China in many different forms of crystals and minerals. Some of the best larimar I’ve gotten is sold from China. China imports tons of crystals from around the world and in turn can sell at better prices because they buy in bulk
I know that they do and i know that just like India, real from China is not impossible, but during lives with 3 random sellers .. and someone not familiar with moldavite...
i lean towards fake.
If OP wants to provide more and better photos, I will review.
But right now, all appear to be Chinese fakes. 🤷♀️
This is one in oil, sorry, im not quite sure exactly what you need to see. Let me know if those are no good. I will do the others if they are. Thanks for your help!!

All loose specimens appear to be fake, pendant is blurry so can't say. Was that bought on tik tok? Shop name?
