Lapidary / Gem Dealer

This mine and lapidary is a small business in Peru. The main business is the polishing factory which focuses on Peruvian stones. The owner was a biologist and environmental activist in his first career, and brings this passion for ethics to his current business. He is particularly proud of his legal contracts, safety standards, and worker’s compensation package. He also has a small mining claim which he mines in the most environmentally-conscious way possible.

Sourcing Relationship

I met this source online during the pandemic in 2021. The owner sent out an email to crystal stores around the world introducing his company. While most of the email talked about the quality and price of the stones, I was immediately drawn to his fair trade principles, which included legal contracts, health insurance and pension plans, safety standards, etc. This kind of language is very rare! I immediately contacted him and place an order. We have had many conversations on What’s App about ethical issues in Peru and around the world. I love speaking with him because he thinks like a scientist and an environmental activist. So we don’t have to tread cautiously, we can speak boldly.

He asked if I thought the world would support an ethical crystal mine. I told him I couldn’t speak for the world, but that I personally would. A few weeks later I became a financial investor. My first crystal order would include Black Tourmaline and Epidote that came from “my” ethical mine.

Hematite is a shiny silvery mineral and the most important ore for Iron. Its easy to distinguish from other silver minerals because its steak is a brick red color, the very same color as rust. While it appears silver in its pure form, when Hematite is enclosed in Quartz, it once again shows up as red. When sold as healing stones, they might be given marketing names such as “Strawberry Quartz” for dark red or purple-pink stones or “Tangerine Quartz” if it has an orange tone. Hematite is a wonderful grounding stone, especially during stressful situations. It has a strong, practical and mature energy that helps us to take care of what is necessary, including our own self-care. […]
