About Us

**About Me**

In 2015, after waking up paralyzed one day from a rare disease called Transverse Myelitis, I began making jewelry to earn extra money while in college. After taking a break from jewelry making, I found renewed inspiration following my move to Colorado. Beginning in 2019, I started creating jewelry and handcrafted items once again. My focus quickly shifted to combining my love of minerals with jewelry design, and I began exploring the world of wire-wrapped jewelry. It was during this journey that I connected with my now business partner, Michael, co-owner and founder of Leonard Crystals, and together we began offering stunning mineral specimens across multiple platforms.

Today, I provide a wide variety of fine mineral specimens and crystals sourced from all over the world, always seeking to support local miners and the direct sources of these minerals. I continue to create handcrafted jewelry in an extensive array of styles. I also love connecting with all of you live on Instagram each week! Join us every Wednesday at 6 pm MST if you’d like to say hi sometime.

Under Michael's guidance, I have also embarked on exciting lapidary projects and enjoy cutting cabochons whenever time permits. My passion for minerals drives me to pursue various ventures, including digging, rock hounding, and stone faceting. Additionally, I am currently working towards completing my graduate gemology degree through GIA.

After five fulfilling years of running this business full-time, the most rewarding part has been the connections I've made with so many beautiful souls along the way. You are the true gems in this journey. Thank you for being here and supporting my passion!
