Wearing authentic crystals for good luck

[_ilovenature_]

sis gorgeousmama, can you give me the direction and name ng store ni atong? I really want to check his black tourmalines... I hope you can post a pic of your moonstone purchase and your other crystal collections

may fake ba na jade crystal? may nagbigay kase sa daughter ko from singapore malaking rabbit na jade pero pendant sha. kulay green and so cute.. i wonder if fake yun or not.

[aquacharly]

Darling, may fake everything in this world. BUT do not look a gift horse in the mouth. Malamang authentic jade yan... May not be top grade though.    Ok pa rin.   

Teka  ha -- balikan nga  si Atong re how he tests  if jade is authentic.  I plain forgot! 

ganito, in the meantime,  stones generally weigh more (except for jet -- which is very light).  Kung magaan:  hello Tupperware. . 

[kikai]

hmmn ATONG? sakto i dont have sat work after holy week yey.. i can go to binondo!!! san banda yung store nya and whats the best time to go there?? morning??

[aquacharly]

I was on the cell with him awhile go. I said what's the jade test you said before involving burning a strand of hair?   He said that doen't work anymore. The technology for fake jade has advanced much. Show him na lang daw.  So there, catch and show your favorite alahera na lang, SNOWFLAKES. 

I do not knw how to get there, my driver does.  All I know is it is near President's -- a chinese restau.   
The way we do it nw, I send my driver & he hands over stuff for me to consider.  GORGEOUSMAMA has been there, ask her .

so true pala na the ctystals  looks dull when not cleanse and program

when I cleansed the moonstone, it looks bright and the iridescent circles were so visible, it glows talaga,
even the faceted amethyst din looks shiny and very pretty

FINALlly I , was able to buy the elusive MOONSTONE from Atong ,, hahahaha, mganda  this one coz there is an  iridescent circles appearing on the beads,, and for some reason this one got me enticed rather than that of the ACC,LAB, same price but of course I got it at  a lower price here ke Atong

Sis gorgeousmama I hope you don't mind if I ask how much you bought the moonstone (bracelet ba ito?). I think I am itching to buy one for myself. I just want to have an idea how much it goes for. 

[gorgeousmama]

sis lunaysol,

I got the moonstone bracelet for 4,900, its a 14mm, In ACC. LAB its peg for 6+,

actually i felt i can haggle more , but since we returned after a few minutes  after leaving his store so I surmised Atong hinted that his offer was the lowest , lol, but that's true coz  other stores offered it at 5,500k,, and compared to their moonstone, hubby commented that ATong's crystals is the best one,,,

I saw there a round beads bracelet  12mm peg at 2k,mybe you want to check it out

 mybe you can get it at a better price,,, im sure mas magaling kang mag haggle kesa sakin, 

hay naku Im not really good in haggling , when I want something , Im very eager agad to have it!!!,

when I got the moonstone it looks dull, but after I cleansed it, it looks shiny  and very visible na the iridiscent colors and im getting fonder of it everyday, I think Im bewitched  to it esp. when  the color seems to dance

mag post naman kayo ng pictures ng mga crystals and stones nyo para makita namin...

[lunaysol]

Thanks gorgeousmama! 

mag post naman kayo ng pictures ng mga crystals and stones nyo para makita namin...

I agree with sis snowflakes.

[gorgeousmama]

sis gorgeousmama, can you give me the direction and name ng store ni atong? I really want to check his black tourmalines... I hope you can post a pic of your moonstone purchase and your other crystal collections

hi sis,

sis sorry Im not good in giving direction since hubby has the habbit of making short cuts when driving but what I can give you is the Landmark lang

Its in Benavidez ST, BINONDO accross WAI YING resto and besides COUNTRY CHICKEN,, if by car you can ask around mentioning the landmark I gave you , we asked the trike drivers where is WAI YING coz its a popular resto there  , ,

 the name of the store is WORLD OF CRYSTALS,,,

Hope this helps

I do not know if we are allowed to post cellphone nos here, baka ma Warning uli ako, and end up WATCHED!  LOL

I sent the cell no of Akong/Atong to GORGEOUS MAMA     for those who may want to check if he is open during this long weekend.    But please do not abuse the no.   he may up and change it if he gets too disturbed.   

If he asks who gave you his no.  just say, the women who call him "KOYANG"   lol
ayan, sinabihan na namin... you better be fair or else... mga friends namin are going to you na kahit nasa dulo ka ng Metro Manila.   lol

You  should strive to get at least a thou difference for the inconvenience of Binondo over Rockwell.   

Also, if you want to see the real equality of what he is selling, dala ka ng flanella to wipe his stuff.  He isn't that particular about dust in his store, lalo na pag bagong bukas na shipment.

whats the best crystal para sa car?

[quennna]

bough my first authentic gem.. yeheeey!
will post pic tomorrow

[aquacharly]

Oh my goodness, to borrow the cute term of some of the sis here: "napanganga" ako sa prices ng sop destination ko when in Macau... The Stone Market at The Venetian Shops.

All bracelets:
       Size 13.  PINK TOURMALINES:    Php 500Thou  plus
       Size 10.  BLUE MOONSTONE:      Php 410Thou ++
       Size 12.  MULTI-Colored
                    TOURMALINES             Php 400Thou++
       Size 13.  Super 7.  Ganda!         Php. 500Thou ++
       Sizev14. RHODOCHROSITE         Php 280Thou++
       
Though these were such perfect, pretty specimens...  Sumakit na ulo ko, sa prices din nang SUGILLITE,  LARIMAR & CITRINE

Pati sister ko, BFFs kong gay & the other 1 not gay but depressed; pati the other Pinay barkada there dinatnan namin sa store:   collective napanganga experience. Lol

Accdg to  the staff, it has become very hard to get perfect specimens this past year.

Anyone here who drops by there -- paki check if the pink tourmalines are still there -- 1st display glass cab on your right upon entry.  There is only 1 bracelet of that.  Same with the Super 7 and colored tourmalines.  Magkakasama sila, same shelf too.      Sabi kasi -- oh, we will buy it some other day.   Susko, lol. 

[lunaysol]

Wow! Grabe ang prices! Super gaganda siguro.

[aquacharly]

Well, yes -- but like another sister who does not care for crystals much said -- "mukhang plastic!"  Lol.  My other sister (my crystal  partner)  said in return:     Ignorance is bliss.     Lolz

But really, LUNAYSOL, my eyes grew biggggg.  GGrief!  Nabebenta pa ba yan?  Jaqui, the Binondo girl in that store,  didn't hesitate to say: Yes. Mabilis nga mabenta sa collectors.   wala, napanganga na lang ako.

Actually, I got half of my "eye"  for crystal standards from that store. Baket mahal? Baket mura ito, same  crystal naman?  We are in Macau at least 5x a year, so well there is time to see and learn. . So, any of you madaan uli don... Don't be shy to look around and get answers to your curiosity. 

[gorgeousmama]

^ Oh my,,,  ka price na ng cheapest Hermes, 

IM sure I will marvel at their beauty and feast my eye on them, LOL

me  take home ka sis aqua?

ayan GIGIL tuloy akong mgpunta ulit ng Macau and this time that will be my first stop, hahahaha

[snowflakes]

i bought a rose quartz pendant. after 2 days of wearing it i noticed it changes color. i saw a cloudy or its like turning into glass inside and everytime i wash it thru running water it turn into glass or sometimes white.
is it me? or nature ng crystal to change colors?
