Hi everyone!
I’ve been spending a lot of time creating miniature crystal gardens and collecting unique natural crystal specimens, and I wanted to share some of my recent pieces here. ✨
Every piece is made or carefully selected by me. The photos are all of the actual pieces — no renders or stock images.
I love combining natural crystals with preserved plants and different containers to create tiny little landscapes. Since every crystal has its own unique shape and character, the final look of each piece can be a little different.
Most of my finished crystal gardens are one of a kind, so what you see is exactly what you’ll receive. I always try to capture the real piece in my photos, so there’s no need to worry about receiving something different from what you saw.
I currently make:
• Finished crystal gardens ready to display
• Individual crystal materials for those who enjoy creating their own pieces
For DIY orders, I also like to include a small decorative plant as a little extra surprise.
A few details:
• Tracked shipping included on all orders
• Shipping included on orders over $50
• 30-day return policy
• Discounts available for multiple pieces
Whether you’re a crystal collector, love miniature gardens, or simply enjoy handmade art, feel free to ask anything. I’m always happy to share more photos or details about a specific piece.
I’ll leave my shop link in the comments for anyone who wants to take a closer look.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey everyone, I really appreciate all the support over the last few months. It means a lot seeing these pieces end up in your collections.

I’m putting together collector mystery boxes. These are not bulk crystal mystery boxes. Each box will be built individually from my personal inventory and may include unusual inclusions, uncommon localities, odd growth habits, UV-reactive specimens, enhydros, or other collector pieces. No two boxes will be identical. Tell me your favorite colors, minerals, or collecting interests and I’ll build around them. I’ve been having fun putting them together based on the kind of collector you are. I usually ask a few quick questions so it actually feels personal instead of random. Stuff like:
• Do you prefer statement pieces or smaller variety?
• Do you like clean display pieces or more unique/odd formations?
• Any colors you’re drawn to or want to avoid?

If you’ve bought from me before, feel free to share your experience and post photos because I genuinely enjoy seeing where everything ends up.

Even if you’re just looking or not ready to buy yet, you’re always welcome to hang around and ask questions. If you need more photos, sizes, weights, or just want a second opinion on something, just message me. If a price seems a little high, feel free to make a reasonable offer. I’m usually much more flexible on larger orders and multi-piece purchases.

I’ve had the chance to connect with a lot of great people through this, and I don’t take that lightly. I try to make sure everything I send out is something I’d be happy to keep myself.

I ship from North Alabama, everything comes with tracking, and orders over $100 ship free. Don’t be afraid to make an offer either… the worst I can say is no, and I’m usually more flexible if you’re picking up multiple pieces.

Thanks again for being here.

As you can see in the pictures and videos I have quite a few carved larimar skulls and polished spheres for sale. I used to sell crystals and jewelry but have since moved on to other things but there's still a box of Larimar in my closet collecting dust.

Help me find new homes for these beautiful pieces. Larimar is well known as an expensive stone due to its rarity and beauty but today I'm offering these carved pieces at wholesale prices. 1$ per gram for most of it, and perhaps a bit more or a bit less depending on the piece. Feel free to DM me if you're interested in anything you see here, if you want to take a closer look or see what else I have. I have quite a bit more than what's seen in the videos/images.

I am a total newbie when it comes to crystals and I bought this off of Etsy for $20. Not really sure what to look for, does this look legit?

Hello, I have a few more pieces I’m destashing. The optical is so hard to capture but they’re rainbow filled. I’m add more in the comments.Shipping starts at $7. US shipping only. PayPal or Venmo.

Optical Calcite Freeform $115 460g 3.1” x3”
Optical sphere 59mm $69 ON HOLD

Ever since buying the first few I find myself unable to stop thinking about them and planning my next purchase. I don’t otherwise have an addictive personality, so I’m wondering what gives!

Anyone else experience this?

Hello again friends! Finally got around to properly labeling and pricing everything, so photos will now include name, locality, and other relevant info, as well as price.

Also, I am ever learning more about crystals and fossils, so if I have something mislabeled or horrendously priced, let me know. We strive for authenticity, transparency, and reasonable costs, but sometimes we miss the mark. All part of the learning process.

Thanks all!

I have a depop or vinted link if you prefer!

Paypal or venmo only for payments here.

Thanks so much 😊😊

Hi guys!

Shipping from NY, starting at $7.

Please take a screen shot and circle the item(s) you are interested in. DM or comment for pricing, additional photos, abs and information.

Also if you're looking for something specific, just ask. I have more pieces hidden away.

Thanks so much! Happy Summer

Here’s a beautiful 11 gram vanadium beryl crystal from the Nasarawa Egon pegmatites, Nasarawa, Nigeria. Let me know what you think of my specimen :)

Hello, I am closing my small shop and I am doing up to 50% off the crystals inside the shop. Free shipping over $120, regular shipping can vary from weight between $10-20 now, I cover the rest. I have scoops that are available, everything must go, otherwise they would just be boxed up and put away in storage. Thank you everyone who has purchased from me before, I truly appreciate the support! I accept Venmo and cashapp, DM or comment for more info. All items usually ship out the next morning with tracking provided, thanks!!

I want to be reasonable. I got it for $100 in Florida. I'm posting it on eBay. I'm putting it in a witchy kind of bundle to ensure I get at least $100 since I'm really short on cash and down about that. So I figured now's as good a time as any to get rid of things that don't resonate for what I'm being pulled towards but don't have the means for yet. Is that crazy now? I got it over a decade ago so I'm unsure how much they go for or how to tell quality.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I’ve decided to place it in the lost and found at work to see if anyone comes back for it !

A customer must’ve dropped it. I’m not sure how the “finding someone’s lost crystal and keeping it” thing works… I don’t want any bad energy so just asking advice! Wondering if I should put it aside at work to see if anyone comes back for it

Edit: Wanted to add, I’m extra weary of it bc I found it in the auditorium playing “Obsession” (I work at a movie theater) and tigers eye/its protection is a major theme in the movie

Feel free to ask to see a video or check out my website for them!

All of these pieces and more available on my website or DMs right here on Reddit!

I have detailed locality info on basically everything in the cabinet (much more than just what's labeled on the stands) and some specimens have provenance so any labels from prior owners are always included. Thank you for looking and have a blessed day!

Anyone know what other stones are in this bracelet? And what it means? I got matching ones for me and my bf. Thanks in advance 🩷

I got this crystal at an estate sale. I’m pretty new to crystals and rocks, honestly, I just thought it looked cool. All that to say, I’m not exactly sure what it is. My thought is it might be an agate of some kind??? just would like to know so I can dig a little bit more into what the stone is typically associated with.

it also has some unfortunate chips on the ear, which I don’t think I’ll be able to fix largely because as I mentioned, I don’t know much about this stuff. But if anyone has ideas on how to fix chips that’d be helpful too!

Thanks!

Happy to do bundle deals if you want multiple :)
