You’re brunching with gal pals when suddenly, the scent of cinnamon and maple syrup from your french toast takes you back to the carefree Sunday mornings of your childhood and right then you find yourself grinning, and your friends are wondering what's in that french toast.

Scent has a major impact on memory, and it can sometimes be subtle, or vividly specific. 

Each crystal’s unique molecular structure determines its vibrational frequency, and when that vibration comes into contact..

The process for identifying a manmade crystal varies greatly from stone to stone..

• Crystals are made to be perfectly imperfect. If the crystal in question has zero noticeable flaws or irregularities and is completely uniform in color and pigmentation, it is most likely fake. 

• Glass has bubbles, crystals do not (especially in reference to quartz).

• Fruit names = fake (lemon quartz, strawberry quartz, etc.).

• “Aura” indicates a heating and metallic bonding process that changes the molecular structure of the crystal, effectively diminishing or compromising its metaphysical and healing properties. 

• Just like knock-off designer bags sold on Canal Street, price is a huge indication of a crystal’s authenticity. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
