Mission

There is nothing that compares to the intricate beauty of crystals. They have a unique ability to inspire awe and remind us of the incredible history right below our feet. Their aesthetic and energetic properties make them northing short of magical to be around, and it is our passion to help you discover their ability to transform your space + mindset. 

The Founders

Growing up, Becky and Trevor Waddell each cherished a beloved collection of mineral specimens. For Becky, one of her favorite traditions was attending the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show with her mom, always returning home with a special new piece—often an amethyst, her birthstone. Meanwhile, Trevor could spend entire days in his West Texas backyard, digging for fossils. Their love of gems and minerals began early and has only deepened with time. Today, they are passionate about helping others discover unique, beautiful pieces to enrich both their spaces and their daily routines. Alongside their appreciation for high-quality specimens from around the world, they hold a special fondness for vintage, American-mined treasures.
