Other Questions
We don't sell fake or dyed crystals such as dyed Howlite imitating turquoise, we do not feel it is right to mislead people into buying something which is not real. Dyed crystals can also fade or run over time. We do sell some manmade or man-altered crystals which are clearly labelled as such on each listing, these include:
Bismuth - is a natural element that has been melted and cooled to form the rainbow crystal structures
Goldstone - a traditional glass with copper flakes in that was invented in Venice in the 17th Century.
Aura Crystals - these are natural crystals, usually Quartz, that have been treated to create the iridescent "Aura" finish

As on online retailer, we find it really important to be as eco friendly as possible. Our top priority is ensuring your crystals arrive in perfect condition, but also in a way that has as little impact on the planet as possible. We use box suppliers who create our boxes out of recycled materials, our padded envelopes are from a Climate Neutral company who use FSC certified sources, we use tissue and paper instead of bubble wrap as much as possible, and where we do need to use it our bubble wrap is almost always reused from suppliers.
We are also partnered with Ecologi to aid in reforestation work focused mainly in Madagascar, every order placed helps us donate more money towards this. For more details, please see our dedicated website section here.
