Beautiful labradorite palm stone which was exactly what I’d been looking for but unable to find.
Candice went above and beyond to source what I’d enquired about and even sent me videos to show the samples and let me choose my favourite.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
Excellent quality lamp. I would highly recommend anyone looking for top quality crystals. What a gem of a place!
LOVE my order, everything is so beautiful and I felt connected to the crystals instantly.
The packing is also so detailed and just gorgeous to unpack, such beautiful details. Love love love!
I love my new print, goes perfectly in my living room. Really well made and lovely design, thank you!
I bought this as a gift for my mom - it’s perfect and she’s now using it as a bookmark to go with the protective crystal that she keeps in her bag.
I’ve ordered and received many of these cards. They list really practical information using a fresh and beautiful layout.
