WHAT THE HECK IS A CRYSTAL GRID?! And why would you want to build one?! Crystal grids are site specific installations made of stone + other organic found objects arranged in circular or geometric patterns that are constructed in alignment with the directions + celestial bodies. Stone circle building is an ancient art that harnesses the power of Earth intelligence + sacred geometry. By implementing crystal grids in our personal or professional spaces, we can manifest our intentions with laser focus by using the crystal grid as a “broadcasting system.” Quartz crystals in particular are excellent at being programmed, storing information as well as transmitting frequencies. Industrially, they have been used in radios, watches and computers for these...
The Tucson Gem Show is my happy place! I took my first trip out West to attend the gem show back in 2008. Since then, I’ve built my jewelry business from the inspiration fueled by this amazing event! Here are some of my top tips for attending the Tucson Gem Show: 1) Be prepared for extreme temperature swings.

As the Autumn winds of change blow the leaves off of the trees, the trees teach us that it is a time of letting go to prepare for the darker more internal time of year. As the days continue get shorter and we descend into the darkness, we also get...
What does it mean if you are being called forth to work with crystals? It means you’re being called forth to work the Earth. It’s no surprise that so many people are being turned on to the mineral kingdom these days. It’s almost becoming trendy. And in my opinion, that’s a good thing! I’m all for being estoteric and I'm a big fan of the underground scene, but let’s face it, our world is fucked up! And that is being reflected in the state of our health, the environment, and our country. All of these things are intimately interconnected. This is not about politics.
