Most of the crystals come from Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa and other places, mainly Brazil. Uruguay produces some precious crystals, but due to political, economic, environmental and other reasons, many unique minerals have been closed: (such as golden hair crystal, green hair crystal and so on. It is hard to find in the market, and it is no longer a new ore body.
The main producing areas of high-quality amethyst in the world are Brazil, Uruguay and Urals. Uruguay crystal is also the most expensive, and its color is dark blue and purple, which is very rare. The ore body is very small and will not grow into a crystal hole, so it can hardly be seen in the market. Even if there is, it is very expensive. If you see the crystal you can afford, and the seller tells you that it is Uruguay's crystal, you can believe it. And because its crystal is small, it is impossible to form a cavity. So, if someone tells you that it is the amethyst cave in Uruguay, you can pat your ass and ignore him.
Generally, amethyst with good color sold in the market is mostly produced in Brazil.
The highest quality amethyst is moderately deep purple with a strong red auxiliary color.
The highest grade amethyst will emit red and pink light from the inside out.
About the price of crystal.
Crystal is a semi-precious stone, and most of the finished products are processed into bracelets and pendants. There are few things like bracelets, but they are not big. I forgot that those crystals can produce bracelets, but those are impossible. Let's wait for borneol to supplement it. Because it depends on the size of the crystal, some crystals, it is impossible to have such a large piece of raw ore processed into bracelets, even if there is, it is not affordable for ordinary people.
Crystals are divided into colors, and the crystal with the same name on the market may range from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. It can't be summarized by how much the green ghost and amethyst cost, just like jade, the price difference of different qualities is ten million. But after all, it is a semi-precious stone, no matter how expensive it is, it is not expensive there.
However, in the market, unscrupulous merchants often sell very inferior crystals at impossible prices. For example, those only worth 100 yuan should be sold to 800 yuan, which is why most people dare not buy them easily. The so-called value for money, of course, is something bought at a high price, value for money. But now the crystal market is very chaotic, and fake products can be seen everywhere. In fact, all the money added is the money from the shop.
In the market, as long as you look hard, you can definitely find crystals with very good colors within 1000 yuan, instead of ordinary defective products. And 1000 yuan and then up, most of them are collectors' treasures. Yes, but there is no upper limit.
When borneol didn't practice so hard, because he loved crystal, he was cheated of a lot of money, so it can be said that borneol's current experience is piled up with silver. As for the kitten, I only spent a few hundred dollars, that is, I found a good thing, and I can go to the general crystal market and pretend that no one dares to lie to me, all because of borneol JJ. :)
Oh, I forgot to add, and in the case of equal quality, pay attention, I said equal quality. It is very foolish to simply compare prices when the quality varies greatly.
But under the same quality, the bigger the crystal, the more expensive it is. Sometimes, the diameter difference between 10MM and 12MM is only 2MM, but the price is more than twice as high. Because because of its crystal formation, the bigger the crystal, the rarer it is, while the broken crystal is naturally worthless, and those are sold by kilogram. You can wear a bunch of pictures for a lively celebration.
In fact, it is difficult to find really high-quality crystal pendants. So far, there are not many kinds of crystal pendants on the market, and most of them are made of scraps. The wholesale price is as low as a few yuan or sold by the pile! I'm basically ugly I am a person with Taobao plot, hehe, I absolutely don't want those things. ...
How about natural amethyst? To tell the truth, it's like going to heaven to look for pendants and bracelets, but you can't find them. Especially bracelets, if you really estimate, the price is also very expensive, because it is almost impossible to find crystals large enough to be processed (amethyst balls are really that big) ...
Green ghosts are really fake, especially those that look clear layer by layer, mostly artificial; Watermelon tourmaline is very rare, don't believe it will appear anywhere, because watermelon tourmaline is very expensive, if not priceless. If it is not a jewelry store, hehe, I wonder which seller dares to spend sky-high prices to buy goods and gamble?
Hainan, our treasure of the South China Sea, specializes in producing artificial crystals, many of which can be confused with the real thing, hehe, and the price is super cheap! ~~~~~~
Choosing amethyst cave depends on the following points:
1, the shape of the whole crystal cave. Is complete, without artificial truncation. The whole crystal cave is naturally generated.
2. Rock stratum. The whole rock stratum has distinct layers, and the cement repair surface is small. Because the amethyst cave is sold by kilograms, some unscrupulous businessmen add a layer of cement to the periphery of the crystal cave in order to increase its weight, and its weight can be imagined! In fact, because the amethyst cave rarely has a complete plane base, it is allowed to add a little cement to make it stable in the industry, but the outer layer should also be added with a layer of cement ... Hehe.
3. Agate layer. A good amethyst cave must have a finger-wide agate layer, because agate and crystal are born in * * *. Although some amethyst caves are beautiful, they are not complete without agate layer.
4. Crystal. Let's talk about the most important thing first. A good amethyst cave, the crystal should be complete, transparent, conspicuous in color and without obvious defects. As for the size of the crystal, it depends on personal preference.
5, crystal flowers. In fact, the scientific name of amethyst cave growth in white material is calcite. Because it looks like the white flowers in the amethyst cave, everyone calls it Crystal Flower. The amethyst cave with white crystal flowers is very beautiful.
On the difference between red rabbit hair and agate
The red rabbit hair on it is a little less than what we deliberately put in, because more rabbit hair will cover the whole crystal surface, which is too much like red agate, so most people can't tell it apart and are easily fooled.
Red rabbit hair is bright in color, and generally red agate is dark in color. The best red agate color can match red rabbit hair. Hehe, but no one is stupid enough to pass off the best red agate as red rabbit hair, because the price difference is too far. ............
Red rabbit hair and red frosted crystal
There are obvious differences between red rabbit hair and red hair. Although red rabbit hair belongs to a kind of red hair, you can look at pictures. The hair of the red rabbit is very dense, which can be said to be a piece. Red hair is only dark red, a bit like blonde hair.
Generally, the price of precious stones or semi-precious stones basically depends on the quality, and the price varies greatly. The price of inferior tourmaline is not necessarily higher than that of good white crystal. So choosing a crystal is the same as choosing diamonds, emeralds and precious stones. It is not necessarily that one crystal is more expensive than another.
On the purification of crystals.
Crystal is a kind of thing with special magnetic field, which can absorb all bad negative energy and release positive energy. Therefore, this is also the reason why crystals have magical power, not groundless.
After the crystal absorbs too much negative energy, its own energy will gradually weaken until it disappears. So all crystals need to be purified before wearing and after wearing for a period of time. The former is to completely remove negative energy (traffic, mining, etc. It absorbs the previous crystal and cultivates itself from scratch, while the latter charges the crystal at any time so that she can always work hard for herself. :)
Crystals need to be cleaned regularly, usually in the following ways:
1, let the crystal enjoy the moonlight bath on a bright moonlit night;
2. Use amethyst cave, topaz cave, cornucopia, crystal string, large crystal column, etc.
3. Use high-quality broken crystal (I don't know where to buy it) 1 kg, clean and dry it, then store it in a clean (ceramic or glass) plate, and put the crystal to be purified on it for a long time, and the effect is not bad;
Several points for attention:
1, never try to purify the crystal with rain;
2. Never try to purify crystals in the refrigerator;
3. Never try to prepare chemicals to purify crystals;
4. Never expose the crystal to the sun;
5. Never ask if Chu Crystal is broken;
6. Please leave your beloved crystal temporarily when washing your hands and taking a bath. ...
Also, when you have the opportunity to go to a completely pollution-free natural environment, it is also a good way to purify crystals in a clear and completely pollution-free stream. Personally, I think the crystals in the East China Sea and the South China Sea have their own characteristics, and I can't say which one is good.
