AK Vibes provides you with high quality, authentic crystals sourced straight from mines and our trusted geologists. On occasions where crystals are dyed (e.g. Agates) or heat-treated (mostly Citrine), we ensure to state it clearly. We’re open in sharing knowledge of man-made crystals (such as Goldstone) due to their unique healing properties. There are some crystals which are created from organic matter yet have their structure enhanced e.g. Bismuth. We consider these authentic crystals. Authentic crystals will never: have air bubbles, lose colour due to scratching, have any remains of glue or magnify surfaces. You will never find imitations of crystals in our store and on our website.
