I think I saw a piece of this at someone’s house the other day. They said look with somebody bought me. As they looked at it, I started to think this is fake. I have real Specimens at home. This is not the same. Now I know.

Looks like someone put some salts into water to make some "quick" crystals.

You should sue the person who bought it from for selling fake products
@imeldagermishuysen8391on October 14, 2024 at 6:14 pm
The bottom part looks like a crysacolla stone… I have one they come from Africa aswell. Maybe they have similar composition and chemicals?
@ByNeoGameson October 14, 2024 at 6:16 pm

Yea I bought a cluster of smokey Quartz on Etsy a while back. I was already buying it for wrong reason, but in my haste I failed to look closely. It ended up getting here and as I suspected after it sent, the points were basically mortar or cemented together at base. Needless to say I now have about 20 nice INDIVIDUAL smokey points I took apart and scraped with blade and used dremel to remove what was basically cement. Came from somewhere In Asia. I was almost afraid the crystals were grown in lab. But I think they are real. But the cluster was built obviously. I really should have known due to odd size of points and almost symmetrical look in photo, which again does not resemble what you get. Definitely has no glue or cement on points or broken points glued back together…….there is no shame in some.

Copper acetate indeed I have grown these on many substrates, adding silver to the salts when starting will increase the {blueness} but when dry will nitrate and turn black.
@Nicht-die-Mamaon October 14, 2024 at 6:28 pm
And what is it in effect?
@christopherkort3063on October 14, 2024 at 6:32 pm
Thanks for the video. Good tip to check questionable samples in hot water.
@nnnnmpon October 14, 2024 at 6:36 pm
I just learned that you shouldn’t cleanse crystals that have names ending in, ite, in water, as they will disintegrate. Ex. Amazonite, Fluorite ans so on. Yours is named Azurite…
@micktepolt6276on October 14, 2024 at 6:37 pm
i think that’s kinda funny, it’s Leverite some people like Leverite I don’t, i leave it rite there 🙂
@lorettamartinez2144on October 14, 2024 at 6:37 pm
Wow I hate when they ruin natural beauty by dying it! I grow orchids and hate to see how they do the same as too the crystals . It’s such a lie!
@elizabethsolomon1093on October 14, 2024 at 6:39 pm
Thankyou for the heads up that there’s alot of fake stones and Christmas outthere so buyer bewhere
@bob_frazieron October 14, 2024 at 6:40 pm
Copper sulfate coating with indigo ink? Or blue unicorns poo.
@DeepNorthAdventureson October 14, 2024 at 6:41 pm
Thats not dyed its a crystal that grows from copper. I have accidentally grown it while cleaning coperin quartz and calcite they grown in the acid mixture i made with salt and white vinegar 60% but yes they are water soluble.
@Mariemalvine1201on October 14, 2024 at 6:49 pm
Alert!!! Its Chalcanthite and its dangerus!!! Its carcinogenic, and when it got to the water… Oh my
And then it releases magnesium sulfate
Clean your hands and maybe dont touch it with naked hands
Please be safe
@lizbujosa6380on October 14, 2024 at 6:49 pm
I’d be so p***** if I had spent $100. I do not trust many sellers
@edreasner44on October 14, 2024 at 6:51 pm
That blue stuff from the airplane toilet?
@clockdragon515on October 14, 2024 at 6:53 pm
Copper acetate can be made with simple copper whire (or copper sulfate) and vinegar !
@Stuff_said_on October 14, 2024 at 6:55 pm
It looks like a copper sulfate of some kind I know the Congo had a huge copper mine
@coreybreiland7586on October 14, 2024 at 6:55 pm
Probably a rock dipped in boiling Borax with food coloring.
