How to find the right Healing Crystals AI guide
Written by an AI model from its trained knowledge.
What the AI looks for in Healing Crystals
- Natural vs treated
- Look for disclosure of heat treatment, dyeing or synthetic origin Much bright 'citrine' is heat-treated amethyst, many vivid agates and howlite 'turquoise' are dyed, and 'aura' quartz is coated.
- Water safety
- Never soak toxic or soluble minerals in drinking water, including malachite, cinnabar, galena, chalcanthite and pyrite Some crystals release copper, mercury, lead or sulfur compounds into crystal elixirs.
- Health claims
- Buy for appearance or meditation focus only Controlled studies found that crystal effects match those of fake crystals, so health claims are unsupported.
What to avoid
- Crystal water bottles holding malachite or other copper and metal ores
- Listings that claim crystals treat disease
- Unlabelled 'rare' stones whose color looks too uniform, which usually means they are dyed or glass
