[Rockhounds] Chinese Crystals on E-Bay

[Mr EMan]

Seems this thread has been well hashed but incase it wasn't mentioned...

If one looks at the terminations/points on those "Huge Chinese Crystals" on EBay( sold by exclusively by Asian dealers or their US and Australian-based confederates) they'll observe that those are "facets" and not quartz crystal surfaces. Natural crystals do not have completely symmetric points.

 From the People's industry that brings us counterfeit moldavites , onyx, flourite, or jasper "jade" natural crystal ball fossils, fake dragonfly and primitive bird fossils, modern insects in 40 myo amber and paper mache shells... Should we be surprised at seeing the "all natural" but mass manufactured "unique and one-of-a-kind" lucky everything sold by Asian dealers on EBay?
