It depends on where you get it from. There are a bunch of different companies on wish. Best way to tell is to go through the reviews

Thank you form mentioning that about China and gemstones! There is such a stigma because there have been fakes but unfortunately there are fakes everywhere. So many stones and minerals are mined in China and get great deals because they are locally mined. You just have to do a little research and ask friends and those you might follow for hints and tips. ✌💜💎💫

Based on the pricing I would definately question weather they are ethical. Also fluorite is faked alot.

Yes, there are a lot of authentic crystals from China. All of my stones came from China (I'm from southeast asia) and so far they're all authentic and there's a lot of crystal markets there. I buy my crystals from live sellers so I can see and choose the piece I'm buying.

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS!!!

Love the rose quartz bracelet

It’s amazing how many people think Smelting Quartz is a real crystal! It’s glass! It’s man made! It’s driving me crazy!

I went on a hunt for a African Turquoise, either a stone or a necklace/bracelet. I couldn't find ANY stone at all, but the jewelery were around 50-150 dollars. I Found a Mala on WISH of all places for 20 dollars? So i ordered it! I'll see what it's like when it arrives, the seller had 5/5 stars and people seemed very happy with their orderes. I really hope its authentic and as nice as it looked on the picture!

There is no turquoise found in Africa. I believe "African Turquoise" is actually a type of Jasper that may or may not be dyed to resemble Turquoise.

Hmm, so tempted to buy some crystals from Shein, but because of all the negative things going on with Shein in the past makes me hesitate (fast fashion and stealing of art of smaller creators)

wooo i’ve been waiting for thisss :D!!

Loved the rose quartz necklace!

Have you done a video on the difference between genuine citrine and baked amethyst yet? If not that's definitely something people need to know about. The owner of the gem shop in my town didn't even know that her citrine wasn't legit she didn't believe me!
