About Crystal Myths works with collectors, jewellers, auction houses and private sellers from Lisbon to Helsinki. Wherever you are, the assessment arrives in your inbox — the same careful read, at the same flat price.
Who we are, how we work, and why every Crystal Myths assessment states its evidence and its limits in writing.

The
Crystal Myths
Online Assessment Studio
How it works
Every report we write follows the same discipline that desk used — patient observation, careful photography, and conclusions written down in plain language. Today Crystal Myths is a trusted second opinion for collectors, sellers and the simply curious.
The studio
The studio is deliberately small: a handful of reviewers with trade, collecting and photography backgrounds, working from a shared written method so that two assessments of the same stone read the same way.
FAQ
We are a private limited company, not a certification body. That independence shapes the writing: we have nothing to sell beyond the assessment itself, so the report has no incentive to flatter the stone.
What you receive
We keep the process friendly and unhurried. You send photographs, we study them properly, and you receive a written answer you can actually use — no jargon walls, no upselling.
OUR METHOD
Photos, Evidence & Limits
Our mission is narrower and more practical: to tell you, in writing, what your specimen most resembles, why we think so, and what to do next with it.
Services
Every assessment follows the same written method: catalogue the photographs, describe what is actually visible, weigh what each feature suggests, and state the conclusion with its evidence — and its limits.
REPORTS
Conclusions are tied to features, not hunches: colour zoning, inclusions, lustre, transparency, cut and surface wear are each described before they are interpreted.
