Telling look-alikes apart
Colour alone rarely identifies a stone. Hardness, lustre, weight and how light passes through all help. Dyed stones are common: honest sellers label them. When in doubt, ask where a stone came from.
Colour in crystal tradition
Modern crystal practice links colours with the chakras, and many people simply choose the colour they are drawn to. These are traditions, not health claims.
