Crystal Clear

Service Description

Step into the fascinating world of crystal identification in this hands-on workshop designed to help you confidently distinguish genuine stones from synthetic, treated or imitation pieces. Whether you are a crystal collector, healer or simply curious, this session will strengthen your observational skills and deepen your understanding of the stones you work with and love. With imitation crystals increasingly common in the marketplace, it can be challenging to know what is truly authentic. In this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to examine both real and fake specimens side by side, learning to recognise key differences in texture, weight, colour, lustre and formation. We will explore common misrepresentations such as dyed howlite sold as turquoise, fake aura quartz, brightly coloured glass marketed as obsidian, and many other frequently encountered substitutes. Through practical demonstrations, guided comparison and shared discussion, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to assess crystals using both visual cues and intuitive awareness. This workshop offers a relaxed, supportive and engaging environment where questions are encouraged and curiosity is welcomed. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a stronger sense of trust in your instincts and the practical knowledge to identify authenticity with clarity and ease. Join us for this eye-opening experience and discover the truth behind the stones you cherish. Deposit required upon booking. Non-refundable if cancellation is within 48 hours of the workshop.
