Crystal Gifts Under $50
This is the step-up tier: stones whose display-grade pieces start at $25 to $50 in each profile's documented price range. None of them duplicate the under-$25 list, because here the extra budget is the point. It buys a natural citrine point instead of a heated tumble, or carved genuine nephrite jade instead of dyed serpentine. Every Shop link goes to a single-stone listing we vetted by hand, ranked by how often the stone appears across our curated collections.
