We loved those bats. Can’t believe we didn’t see the “bits” before they went on sale and someone had to point them out to us. Ade

Thanks for doing this Jammy. X

Thank you hun x

Unfortunately this is getting all too common within the crystal industry Jami hun. So many sellers are making up information, not self-educating or just repeating information they have been fed by their suppliers. I have commented on several sellers posts in the last few days about the Sphalerite issue with zero response. I guess all we can do is to continue educating ourselves and relying on the community to keep us on the right path Ade

You’re fired….again!!!

Ok so in the interests of fairness, I have messaged the seller and this is their reply.. “Hi. These crystals have been mined from the lemurian seam in Brazil. The mine itself actually only works and mines with lemurains and have done for over 20 years. There was only a very small find and has been no more found since. They are finding new crystals all the time which is really amazing. Currently these lemurians are being studied by geologists to establish the coating on them. They are thinking its a type of tourmaline but are unsure. I hope this helps. Thanks Emily”

I think this is exactly my point hun, if you were to buy a car, a tv, a house etc would you just blindly believe what the seller is telling you or would you actually do some research for yourself. Equally as a seller, why are you just repeating what your supplier has told you without doing some research for the benefit of your customers? The great Sphalerite selling issue is a classic example of this.

As you know Jami from our discussions, I can’t work out what bothers me the most. Is it unscrupulous, poorly self-educated and downright liars of sellers who are at fault or is it the customers? Are the customers the ones who are at fault because they fall into this trap of “buying a lifestyle of twinkles and fairies” by purchasing polished lemurian pieces at £500 each, is it the customers who believe that bullshit narrative of “my seller said they are ethical so I believe them with no proof whatsoever” who are at fault for perpetuating this nonsense within the crystal community. Ok rant over!

What the hell is going on in the crystal community? Between “polished lemurian”, “black lemurian”, fake malachite, misidentified sphalerite etc etc how on earth can we as a community of crystal lovers ever trust sellers again?

£20 for a Quartz pebble with no proof or provenance that it’s actually lemurian?! Yep seems perfectly legit to me!!

It depends on how hard you throw them at the knobhead who’s causing the stress!!
