We are committed to ethical sourcing practices. We have carefully selected mines and suppliers who prioritize the well-being and fair treatment of their miners and manufacturers. This includes providing fair wages, which encompass not only regular pay but also holiday pay, overtime pay, and goal-based bonuses.
In addition to fair compensation, our partners are dedicated to ensuring the safety and health of their workers. They provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against potential hazards, such as inhaling toxic dust during the cutting and polishing processes. We prioritize working with suppliers who prioritize the safety and well-being of their employees.
We firmly believe in supporting responsible and ethical practices throughout the supply chain. While this may result in slightly higher costs, we consider it a worthwhile investment. We prioritize the welfare of the miners and manufacturers, choosing to work with suppliers who maintain high standards rather than opting for cheaper alternatives that may compromise working conditions and wages.
We not only work with trusted mines and suppliers but also personally craft and manufacture some of the items ourselves. As the owner, I am deeply involved in the creative process, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail in every piece.
By handcrafting and manufacturing items in-house, we have full control over the materials used and the craftsmanship involved. This allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality and authenticity. Each item is infused with our passion for crystals and minerals, ensuring that you receive a unique and exceptional product.
By making conscious choices and partnering with responsible suppliers, we aim to provide you with crystals and minerals that are not only beautiful but also ethically sourced. We believe in the power of crystals to bring positive energy and healing, and it is equally important to us that the journey from mine to your hands is one of integrity and fairness.
We operate exclusively as an online store and do not have a physical storefront. By focusing on our online presence, we are able to keep our costs down and pass those savings on to our valued customers. Our goal is to provide you with a seamless and convenient shopping experience right from the comfort of your own home.
While we understand that some customers may prefer the in-person shopping experience, we strive to provide detailed product descriptions, high-quality images, and excellent customer service to make your online shopping experience as enjoyable and informative as possible.
All of our items are packaged with utmost care to ensure their safe delivery to you. We take great care in securing each crystal and mineral with protective measures. Our packaging includes the use of bubble wrap, Kraft paper, and thick cardboard boxes to provide ample cushioning and protection during transit. You can rest assured that your crystals and minerals will be well-protected throughout their journey to your doorstep.

Yes, absolutely! We understand that you may be looking for a specific iteml that is not currently listed on our website. However, that doesn't mean we cannot help you obtain it. We have a wide network of suppliers and sources, and we're more than happy to assist you in finding or even custom-making the item you desire. Simply reach out to us with your specific request, and we will do our best to fulfill it and provide you with the piece you're looking for.
This is due to the time, money, and effort we personally put into finishing our items to a higher quality.
We thoroughly inspect every item for defects not up to our standards.
While most sellers are just trying to make a quick buck, we personally have a hand in finishing most of our items or manufacture them ourselves in the USA.
This includes sanding deep scratches missed in rough grinding, poor polishes, or bases that can not stand.
We have invested thousands of dollars in lapidary saws, flat laps, diamond embedded grinding wheels, polishing pads, and PPE.
While we are human and may miss something on occasion.
We can promise you the items you purchase from us have been manufactured with love and care.
We will not sell a item that we would not be happy to receive ourselves.
