Supply Chain for Lodestone

When we know better, we do better. Ethical sourcing is a constantly evolving process. If the original sourcing for the stone still passes Moonrise Crystals’ current standards, it will be restocked as soon as possible. If the original sourcing is no longer acceptable, it will be restocked when/if a better supplier can be found.

This Lodestone comes from a mine in Utah.

This lapidary drum tumbles stones in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a family business, founded by a father and passed on to his sons. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at two gemshows, one in the United States and the other in France.

I have been doing business with this source since 2014. They are the oldest tumbling company in the world and have more varieties, in more sizes, than any other known source. The company started in California in the 1950s and was eventually bought by a British immigrant who had young sons. Eventually the company moved to South Africa in order to be closer to the source of their best-selling stone and to have the legal rights to export it. The company is now run by the sons and their childhood best friend.

The current owners personally visit many small and large mines. To connect with artisanal miners in sub-Sahara Africa, they work with local Gem Dealers who travel far into the bush to buy from part-time miners. The majority of these Gem Dealers are women. Some, but not all, of their stones are labeled with country-of-origin. For those that aren’t, I ask the owners directly. As I’ve learned more about mining practices in individual countries, I have become increasingly selective about what I will purchase from them. However, they remain my preferred source for most of the stones I sell from sub-Sahara Africa.

Lodestone Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published September 2016  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 7 minutes
Lodestone is a rare variety of Magnetite that has been struck by lightening and become naturally magnetized.  Thin needles of this mineral will point towards the earth’s magnetic poles and so Lodestone was used to make the earliest compasses thousands of years ago.  The first compasses weren’t used for navigation, instead they were used for spiritual purposes, specifically feng shui.  While Lodestone can attract metals, most specimens have a subtle magnetism that is far less obvious than a modern magnet.  Lodestone help us to find our true path and to point towards our own true north.  It’s energy can be used for practical purposes like charting our career, or to illuminate subtle spiritual vibrations.
