I ordered two rose quartz gua shas from different brands, just to compare quality for you guys.In all my pictures, RAS is on the left, Glowiest is on the right.Glowiest gua shas have a slightly more uniform, even shape. The thickness is consistent throughout, which I'm pretty sure is how it should be. It's a minor difference, and I'm sure RAS gua shas still work as intended. However, I like the sleek, perfect cut of the Glowiest gua sha.There are small packaging differences between the two brands that I bought. Both secured their gua sha nicely, with a styrofoam square protecting the upward-facing side of the gua sha. The styrofoam for Glowiest product was perfectly cut, while the styrofoam from the other brand was sloppily cut, thinner, and slightly yellow around the edges. This doesn't matter much in the long run, seeing as both gua shas came in perfect condition. Personally, I would only consider this factor if I were giving the gua sha away as a gift.Both brands produced a solid gua sha, but Glowiest is just a TINY bit more refined with their quality control. If they're listed for the same price, or you're giving this as a gift, go with Glowiest. Otherwise, if Glowiest is more expensive than RAS, go with RAS because the products are VERY similar.One thing to note in favor of RAS is that the RAS product came with a certificate of authenticity. It's a reassurance that you're getting a genuine product, which I appreciate. I also believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that rose quartz with more color (more pink) is preferred. Going by that, RAS has the better stone. There's not a huge difference but the RAS stone IS more pigmented.Hope this helped!
