Enchanted Crystal of the Month Review
First, you’ll see a greeting from Adam of Enchanted Crystal. I love these personal notes as they explain behind the scenes details. I enjoyed reading Adam’s thoughts on gratitude this month.
Our specimen this month is Green Aventurine!

Green Aventurine
FYI: This piece is about 3 inches tall.
Ok, most of you know I am absolutely crazy for points and EC has been quite generous lately with them. You will never hear me complain when a crystal point arrives. This one is a charming Green Aventurine specimen. I learned from our info card that Aventurine is actually just super included clear quartz. In this case, the inclusions are green because the buildup of the inclusions is made of fuchsite mica. You can see some different green shades happening here depending on how concentrated the inclusions are. All in all, this piece is gorgeous and a welcome addition to my collection.
Enchanted Crystal always sends bonus crystals or minerals in a small bag as well.
Good to Know: These are all less than an inch long.

Bloodstone
I feel like the bloodstone I receive in this subscription is always lacking in blood, but I can still admire the beautiful green background.

Spotted Sodalite
I have a soft spot for sodalite because I have a watercolor paint that is made out of this pretty stone. It creates a soft blue wash that I really adore.

Jasper
Red jasper is my absolute favorite red. There is something so bold yet earthy about it and I love that it is almost a solid color but still has a few freckles and lines.
Verdict: This month’s Enchanted Crystal selection was another gorgeous piece that I am quite taken by. Honestly, this sub could be called Enchanted Crystal POINT and I would be thrilled. Keep it up EC!
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, but sign up today to receive the December crystal of the month. There is also the possibility of some variation in the type of crystal you might get compared to mine, even within the same month.
Sign up on or before the 5th of the month to get the current month’s box! All orders processed after the 5th will ship the following month. We ship between the 5th and 8th of each month.
Value Breakdown: This box costs $16.00 + free shipping, which means that each of the 4 crystal varieties in the box has an average cost of $4.00.
I love natural/vegan beauty products, Korean skincare, unique jewelry, and weird candies from far away places. When I am not waiting for my next exciting box you can find me painting or taking photographs of interesting people. I never leave home without pug hair somewhere on my shirt and a bold lipstick on my smile.
This doesn’t look worth the money at all to me. Look in your local thrift stores and rock/gem shows. You’ll get way better quality items than this garbage.
I signed up for this box a number of months ago after reviewing many of the MSA reviews. Unfortunately, the stones I have received have always been far far smaller and of lower quality than the ones shown here. I have also received rose quartz several times. I’m probably going to cancel after this next box since it already renewed.
Hey Kj! I would agree that this subscription can vary between months. I have been getting a lot of points lately, but in other months during the year, the specimens were more of that I would consider educational than visually stunning. Feel free to peek through my reviews to see the total variety!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was about to sign up, but I wondered that exact thing.
Yes, thank you for sharing

I’ve found better and cheaper on Etsy
With all of the subscription boxes out there, I can’t believe I didn’t know this was one of them. For $16 a month this is for sure worth a try! 😍
