How we research and publish crystal guides
We build Crystal Identifier and publish practical guides for people who want to know what a crystal is and whether it is real.
Who writes the guides
Guides are published by the Savuko team, the small product team behind Crystal Identifier & Scan. We write for crystal collectors, rockhounds, shoppers and anyone who has a stone and no idea what it is.
How a guide is researched
Each guide starts with one reader task, such as checking whether a stone is glass. We check mineral facts against established references like Mindat, the Gemological Institute of America and university geology departments, and list the sources at the end of each article.
We keep mineral science and crystal lore apart. Hardness, chemistry and identification tests are presented as facts. Meanings, chakra links and other traditions are presented as beliefs, and we never suggest that a crystal treats an illness.
Images
We use original photography, app screenshots in product areas and properly licensed photography. Third-party images include visible creator and license credits.
Updates and corrections
Every guide shows an updated date. We revise guides when references change and merge overlapping articles rather than leaving conflicting advice live.
