Crystal Grades Big Reveal! Which Grade is Your Crystal?
Preamble:
In the big family of crystals, there exist all kinds of colorful crystal gemstones. I wonder if everyone, when choosing crystals, focuses on appearance, efficacy, or value?
The quality and grade of crystals are an important consideration factor. Different grades of crystals have differences in quality and purity.
Some crystals are so expensive, which is related to nature and origin. Rarity makes things valuable, such as only existing in specific mineral deposits or geographical areas, with very limited production, or being unable to be mined again due to mine closures.
And some relatively more common crystal gemstones are not worthless, but are considered classic and eternal. Powerful magnetic field energy and diversity are deeply loved by the public. Anyway, when choosing crystals, it is still based on your own intuition and inner resonance to find the crystal that suits your needs.
In legend, the end of crystals, possessing infinite possibilities, is the Super Seven crystal. Including many dopamine-style rainbow gemstones like Tourmaline, female-friendly Rhodochrosite, Moonstone, and so on.

Market Background and Development:
Currently, there is no clear international classification for crystal grades, but different merchants have their own classification rules.
The classification of crystal grade standards is generally considered based on the following aspects:
- Color: Color is one of the important signs reflecting the quality of crystals. For example, pure transparency and crystals with a certain color will give crystals different values.
- Transparency: Transparency is an important factor affecting the price of crystals. Perfect crystal transparency will cause the price of crystals to rise sharply.
- Purity: The level of crystal purity is also one of the important factors affecting the classification of crystal grades. The fewer impurities in the crystal, the higher its grade.
In fact, in the early days of the crystal market, crystals did not have clear grade divisions. At that time, people's awareness of crystals was low, and White Quartz was mainly regarded as a mineral with utilization value, often used for grinding lenses. Therefore, the crystals circulating in the market were mainly White Quartz, and their quality was mainly judged based on transparency and flaws. Later, as the ornamental aspect was gradually discovered, people began to grade different types of crystals. These ratings initially only applied to White Quartz, and were divided into six grades: 3A, 2A, A (AB), B, and C. However, with the continuous development of the crystal market, these grading standards gradually expanded to other types of crystals, and a more detailed grading system such as 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, etc., was formed.
CrystalPT's Classification:
At CrystalPT, it is defined by 3A-8A.
- 3A-4A: Color is beginning to show, contains some cotton-like impurities, belongs to entry-level products.
- 5A-6A: Belongs to mid-range products, color is rich, fewer cotton-like impurities. Belongs to mid-range products.
- 7A-8A: Belongs to high-end collector's grade gemstones, color is pure, almost no impurities. Belongs to true collector's grade gemstones. The price is slightly expensive.
Users should choose the products they like according to their own preferences. But it is worth noting that all natural gemstones are products of nature. Since they are products of nature, they will certainly have some cotton-like impurities and inclusions, which is a symbol of authenticity. What we need to pay attention to is: if there are no cotton-like impurities, the transparency is high, but the price is very low, then it is definitely synthetic or made of glass.
