The Noble Stone - A World of Treasures — Local services in Fairfax

So I bought a turtle shaped green aventurine stone a year ago as a gift. That's was 12.99. It was small but cute. I came to found out that it was fake. How? Well 3 methods to found out if stones are fake. Number 1. Lighter test. I tested this with REAL green aventurine and it did not burn to black soot. And it wasn't blazing hot. The FAKE one burned black and was piping hot. Thats not a real stone or gem. 2. Stones don't scratch as easily. This one did. 3. They shouldn't chip easily. We can be clumsy and they can fall. But they don't chip easily. Some do but not the aventurine. If I wanted a knock off, I could've bought it on Amazon. So beware what you buy. Also very overly priced.

Went here on 6/11/23. I believe I got scammed. Went to go buy a necklace, I gave the lady 13.50 (my total was 13.23) and she said I owe her more money, that should have been my first red flag. Anyways, I gave her my money but she never gave my my necklace that I paid for. I stood there waiting for her to give me my necklace but she told me to have a good day to which I walked away confused because there was people behind me waiting to check out and I thought we’ll maybe she did give me my necklace but nope! I have looked everywhere and I never got the necklace I paid for. She even removed the tag on the necklace. I’m very upset about it and I will...
