Products
Where are your products made?
Mother Earth and her children! We source products from amazing suppliers all over the globe – from awe-inspiring agate and quartz mines in Brazil to vibrant villages in India to our own studio in ever-soulful Charleston, South Carolina.
Are your products and/or materials used natural or man-made?
We have a wide variety of products and materials, so here’s the best and simplest explanation: If it can naturally be found in the world, ours is natural. For example, all our crystals and gemstones are “natural” with a few exceptions:
- Colored Agates – While the agate is natural and mined in Brazil, it does not naturally occur in the vibrant pinks, blues, purples, etc. that many of our agate products possess. These agates are effectively dyed each of these colors. However, the beautiful banding and patterns found in the agates ARE natural, simply brought out during the dyeing process.
- Citrine - Unless stated otherwise, the citrine products offered are heat-treated amethyst. The vast majority of citrine available on the market is amethyst that has been treated with extreme heat to change the color from purple to the various shades of yellow and orange. Naturally occuring citrine is very pale and light in color, almost a tea-like yellow, and is much more expensive.
- Red and Blue Goldstone – Goldstone is a man-made, albeit stunningly beautiful, stone. Nowhere in the world (at least on this planet) is this stone found in nature. To read more about Goldstone and how it’s made click here.
Product Packaging
Because of the uniqueness of many of our products and the wide variety of shapes and sizes, there is no one-way all our products are packaged. Each product is packaged in a manner to best protect it in transit from damage from shifting, handling, and moisture. Many of our smaller products (jewelry, keychains, small crystals, etc.) are individually packaged in small poly bags (zipper or heat-sealed). Our larger or more fragile products (candleholders, lamps, larger crystals, etc.) may be wrapped in newsprint or bubble wrap, and possibly placed in individual corrugated or chipboard boxes. Other packaging materials may include kraft paper, newsprint paper, tissue paper, or air-cushion materials.
If you have specific packaging needs, or wish to forgo any packaging you feel is unnecessary – for example, individual bags or boxes that will be discarded as the products will be on display in a store, labels that will be removed or covered – please let us know!
Packaging may vary slightly between different orders, as we will pack orders in the most efficient and least wasteful method, while still ensuring the protection of the products. We hope that any packaging materials will be reused or recycled appropriately.
