About Us

**About Me**

My entire life I have loved crystals, minerals, and gems. Spending my youth in creeks, digging for rocks and fossils and keeping whatever cool things I found. 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 first business partner, Michael, co-owner and founder of Leonard Crystals, and together we began offering stunning mineral specimens across multiple platforms, including a Brick and Mortar store for 3 years in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

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, with my main focus now being faceting precision cut gemstones in custom designs and being a conduit in the jewelry design process. 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.

I have also embarked on exciting lapidary projects, I enjoyed cutting cabochons whenever time permitted me for many years before transitioning into faceting gemstones. My passion for minerals drives me to pursue various ventures, including digging, and finding accessible rock hounding spots. Additionally, I am currently working towards completing my graduate gemology degree through GIA.

After seven 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!
