Manmade and Lab Grown "Crystals"

We don't intentionally buy man made or lab grown minerals into the shop. However, we do buy old crystal and rock collections and we keep having manmade stuff show up in them. Now... We don't want them. So we will list them below. We have also added crystals which are altered in this category. By "altered", we mean dyed, heat treated, or otherwise interefered with. They will almost always be at reduced prices to encourage a sale and get them out of the house.

Manmade and Lab Grown minerals can be beautiful and there are some which are very expensive. The only real problem with the fakes is when you are sold one without your knowledge. Those below we suspect are fakes. We will also mention this in the descriptions so that you don't accidentally buy something you don't want to. Apologies if we missed one. Even people who look at rocks all day, every day, make ID mistakes.
