Canada
North America
Stretching from glacial tundra to ancient mountain ranges, Canada’s landscape is a geological masterpiece. The country’s vast mineral diversity gives rise to extraordinary crystals — from luminous Amethyst in Ontario to brilliant Labradorite in Newfoundland and rare Ammolite from the Rocky Mountains. Canadian stones embody both strength and serenity, reflecting the raw beauty of the natural world.

MINING REGIONS
Thunder Bay, Ontario — Amethyst Country
Ontario’s Thunder Bay is home to the largest Amethyst deposit in North America. Known for its deep purple color and distinctive red hematite inclusions, Thunder Bay Amethyst has been mined since the 1950s and remains one of the most recognizable Canadian crystals.
Labrador & Newfoundland — Home of Labradorite
Discovered in 1770 near Nain, Labradorite displays an iridescent optical effect known as labradorescence, flashing with blue, green, gold, and violet hues. This remarkable feldspar is found only in a few global localities, with Canada’s deposits being the most famous and historically significant.
Southern Alberta — The Ammolite Fields
The Bearpaw Formation in Alberta produces Ammolite, a rare, organic gemstone made from fossilized ammonites. Exhibiting brilliant flashes of red, green, and violet, it’s considered one of the few biogenic gemstones in the world and was named the official gemstone of Alberta in 1981.

Fun Fact
Ammolite, found only in southern Alberta, is one of Earth’s rarest gemstones — rarer than diamond or emerald. Formed from the fossilized shells of ancient marine ammonites over 70 million years ago, it’s recognized by Feng Shui masters as a stone of prosperity and transformation.

Founder’s Note
Collected with Intention
Every crystal begins as an encounter shaped by time and human touch. I personally source each piece, working closely with miners and artisans who handle them with care.
As a photographer and lifelong lover of design, I’m drawn to light, color, and form, the same elements that make crystals feel like natural works of art.
Each piece is photographed in natural light to honor its true texture and energy, a quiet balance of beauty, material, and meaning.
