“Auralite 23” is estimated to be roughly 1.2 billion years old and is believed to be the world’s oldest gemstone. Formed deep underground during the Meso-Proterozoic era, Auralite resonates with the energetic history of the earth.
Discovered in the “Cave of Wonders,” deep within the Boreal Forest in Canada, north of Thunder Bay, Auralite is comprised of alternating layers of phantom Chevron Amethyst and contains inclusions of (on average) at least 17 of 23 additional vibrational elements of earth (see note at the end of post for a list of minerals).
Auralite is said to foster our “sense of being in the presence of the sacred.” Supporting our relationship to the “I Am,” which exists beyond our outward and often singular expression of “I,” Auralite expands our capacity to be in relationship with the higher self.
Auralite resonates with our energetic systems as a whole, supporting the cleansing of energetic blocks, stored patterns and limiting beliefs. This energetic cleansing is said to foster a “balanced awakening of kundalini…an awareness of the ‘eternal now.’”
Known as a stone of regeneration, Auralite creates a sort of vibrational realignment and is often used for energetic healing. By reuniting us with our highest self’s we’re supported to “lift the veil” and access higher frequencies of consciousness in the present moment, enhancing our potential for “magical transformation” and to awaken a new, “sacred way of being.”
Record keepers are said to dwell in the “liminal threshold between worlds.” Considered stones of transition, Record keepers are said to create a sort of bridge, granting us access to a recorded history of humanity and of the earth, herself.
Trigonic Quartz is considered one of the rarest formations in the “entire Quartz menagerie.” Sunken in to the face of the stone rather than raised, with the point of the triangle facing down, away from the termination, Trigonic Quartz supports our capacity to access the unlimited potential of the future - liminal space, the infinite void which holds the possibility of all possibilities. This sort of “absolute trust—giving oneself forward into the next moment with no way of knowing or controlling what will come,” supports expansion and creates space for us to reconnect with higher frequencies of wisdom.
Self-Healed Quartz crystals are considered master teachers. Self-Healed Quartz can be used to “facilitate healing” through the “practice of reflective integration.” Self healed stones support us through our own process of self reflection and healing. Resonating with self healed Quartz encourages us to consider how our experiences have contributed to our growth and how the integration of these experiences become portals through which to come to know our self’s with greater clarity. It is exceptionally uncommon to find a piece which has regrown to this extent, which makes this piece a particularly potent ally for those who resonate with this stone.

Unfortunately mining crystals is not regulated in most places, which makes ensuring stones are sourced ethically quite difficult at times.
We believe wholeheartedly that these stones have the power to foster great healing, and it is with love and reverence for Mother Earth, each other, and all things that we offer these products.
We work hard to do our due-diligence. We ask questions about the origin of the pieces, and do not purchase from mines/areas that are known for having unfair practices.
Sometimes we are at the mercy of the vendor regarding this information. See our FAQ, “Ethical Stone Information - Part II” for details regarding the steps we take before we’re comfortable listing these offerings.
Certain areas/mines have no regulations in place to protect the environment, ensure staff is age appropriate, receives fair pay, treatment & benefits & has adequate PPE. We will not purchase from these locations & we work hard to determine each piece’s origin.
When not possible, we must rely on our vendors. We’ve invested time, money & effort into building relationships & trust. We also always trust our gut - If we’re not comfortable, we will not purchase. We continue to educate ourselves & on the rare occasion we learn later that a piece was mined unethically, we will pull it.
Though ethically sourced often = higher cost, we believe strongly in these values. We strive to offer pieces accessible to all, with great love & deep gratitude.
There is a short and a less than short answer here.
Short answer - I’ve never been able to get behind the whole psychology of “charging $9.99 will look like a better deal than $10 & will increase your sales.” This feels almost dishonest for me, personally, & it’s not a practice I am comfortable with simply for the sake of it.
The less than short answer is that I have always loved whole numbers, particularly the number 0. “0” is often referred to as the void & is considered the space of nothingness. While this isn’t untrue, from nothingness comes the infinite possibility of everything. The void is the beginning of creation, the sacred pause. The end & the beginning.
The number “0” has always felt like magic in tangible form to me.
