What is Conscious Sourcing?

Conscious sourcing is the term we use when discussing how our crystals are acquired. Although the popular buzzword to use is “Ethically Sourced”, it is our belief that nothing can be labeled as such with 100% certainty without one having been there from the moment the matierals were unearthed - all the way through their journey to the shop.

As our crystals come from all over the world, it is impossible to follow each material as it is mined and crafted into the beautiful pieces you see on our site. Due to this fact, we choose to use the term “Consciously Sourced”.

With this label comes our commitment to ensuring the ethical nature of our goods to the very best of our ability. For us, this looks like spending hundreds of hours pouring research into each of our wholesalers, keeping up to date with world events and politics to see what countries are using exploitative measures or using the mining money to fund anything against our ethical beliefs, actively seeking out information on mining conditions and worker treatment/wages, working almost exclusively with small family-owned operations who directly receive the money we pay for the goods, and whenever possible meeting with our suppliers online through video calls or in person at gem shows to learn the details of the gemstones’ journey from the Earth to our hands.

It is our promise to you to continue sourcing our materials as ethically as possible, and we thank you for your support and choice to shop sustainably!
