MINING REGIONS

Guerrero & Vera Cruz — Amethyst Mines

The Guerrero region produces deep-purple, saturated amethyst with world-famous clarity, while Vera Cruz yields delicate lavender crystals that grow in long, slender formations. These contrasting hues make Mexican Amethyst some of the most collectible in the world.

Naica & Chihuahua — The Crystal Caves

Naica’s “Cave of the Crystals” in Chihuahua is one of the most extraordinary mineral sites ever discovered — hosting selenite crystals up to 36 feet long and weighing 55 tons. Though the cave is closed to the public, it remains a geological wonder and a symbol of Mexico’s crystal heritage.

Ojuela Mine, Mapimí — Fluorite & Hemimorphite

The Ojuela Mine is a legendary locality known for its rainbow fluorite, metallic pyrite, and electric-blue hemimorphite. Discovered in the 1500s, it remains one of the most mineralogically diverse mines in the world.

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.
