How Do We Identify Crystal's Grade and Price?

Often, we received many questions regarding to:
💎 How do I identify different grade of crystal?
💎 Why are there big differences of price?
💎 Does grade matter?

These are the common popular questions especially among crystal lovers who want to understand more about their crystals.

Hence, here is a post dedicating in answering the questions above and we hope that this will clear some concerns in your mind. (Disclaimer: This post is written based on my personal experiences and understanding).

💎 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝑰 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒓𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒍?
- Assessing crystal is like assessing a diamond. We can take reference of the 4C concept:
- Colour, Clarity, Cut, (design) Weight
- The better/higher of the crystal in each category, the higher its price.

💎 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆
- We shall also take note of the rarity of the mentioned crystal which make a big difference in their price.
- The origin of the crystal plays another price factor too.
- E.g: Super 7 (Melody Stone) from Madagasar has a crazy spike of price jump from few hundreds to now starting price at RM15K+ per bracelet for top grade 14mm bead size & above.

a) Yes

- Yes, yes yes! Very much to Kai Lee for her customer! I hope my customers will be well-informed & proud owner of my crystal babies for many years to come ❤️😍

b) No
- if you are using crystal for healing/meditation purposes

- if you would like to try a new type of crystal & unsure of its suitability to you.
