8. DISTINGUISHING THE GENUINE FROM THE FAKE.

8.1 Verifying Sources and Dealers

As much as we wish it were otherwise, crystals imbued by unnaturally infusing magickal powers into them, while they may LOOK genuine, they’re still fakes! Some are merely passing off fakes. Others have more sinister aims. Instead of restricting their selection to stones that are naturally inhabited by elementals, they take ordinary gemstones and force supernaturally bound spirits inside of them against their will.

Because of factors such as these, checking the methods and practices of sellers before purchasing your pearls and stones is of the utmost importance. To this end, every stone we sell arrives complete with full instruction including the name of your pearl’s elemental spirit, their age, history and any additional information we feel will aid you in establishing an etheric link with your pearl. Further, each piece in our collection has been verified and authenticated by two professional, independent psychics.

Research is important any time you plan on making an investment. Selecting a trusted bezoar and mustika supplier should be no different. Here are a few areas we recommend that you pay careful attention to:

•      Take time confirming that the dealer in question is both genuine and reputable. While your personal choice will play a large part in selecting your stone, the elemental also has a role to play. The right stone WILL be waiting for you.

•      Perform a background check to verify the business is operating legally and reputably and is in good standing with their customers. Make sure they follow all local laws and that they’re actually a registered business.

•      Whenever investing in pearls in the three, four or more figure range, carefully wade through the company’s published policies, delivery information and return policies – especially compensation and refund provisos. During your search, be prepared to encounter language and geographical barriers in addition to wide differences in foreign business traditions and cultural variations.
