Can one use lab grown crystals for healing ?

Some natural gemstone can be very expensive like ruby or diamond.
And the lab grown gemstone are far less expensive, but do they have spiritual properties as well as the natural crystals ?

Some lab grown gemstones are better then the ones found in nature. Lab grown gem stones are grown under ideal situations whereas nature has a tendency to build then partially or fully destroy.....

As for healing....... you might already have some lab grown crystals and not even know it! I see nothing 'wrong' in using lab grown crystals. Not everybody will agree.........

Some shops do not know if they are natural or not.

For example, if quartz is melted and the impurities removed and then poured into molds, etc., and that 'quartz is ground and polished, the dealer and buyer may think it is a really good find.........

and then there is K9 glass which you see in clear crystal balls, clear crystal points, etc.

True. I saw an expert is often needed to know which crystal is natural or from a lab. And they use a microscope to do that.

For me its the Energy that comes from the crystal .you can feel the difference between Genuine and lab grown.
It does'nt have the same energy lab grown feel like Plastic to me.

But everyone is different some prefer Lab grown as for using them for Healing you have to have an open heart and use it with pure intention.

I saw one person, a recent graduate from a prestigious Gem Institute, that got 'took' on some large Amber pieces.

I have seen Amethyst and Smokey Quartz points that look like K5 or K9 glass. Not surprising, virtually all of this stuff is coming from China.

In the law of one, Ra say advises Don ruby or diamond to heal. Ra say those crystal are AWESOME for healing. And of course such natural crystal are very expensive. Lab grown ruby and diamond are far less expensive.
