Happy November!! It feels right to share our most recent catalog page of orange hued crystals for autumn. Each gemstone is wrapped in copper wire and tape then electro-formed into copper pendants and attached to solid copper chains with accent beads to match. This selection features Hematoid Quartz, Singing Tangerine Quartz, and Carnelian Chunks. 

Orange is a vibrant, bold, and attention grabbing color which is why it's one of our favorite colors. It's that color pop you put on to boost your mood or add that extra UMPH to your confidence. Orange is playful which is an energy we NEED if we want to get through moments that are too serious. 

What gives these orange crystals their vivid color? 
Minerals included in the crystals formation or encrusted on the surface of the crystal:
Iron or Iron Oxide, aka Hematite. 
​

The color orange is a warm, stimulating and cheerful color. It is believed to increase energy levels and creativity. Orange is a great color to wear in the fall season because it helps you maintain a happy mood and stay warm. Each of these orange crystals are a quartz variety. While the carnelian is a mixture of quartz & chalcedony, the tangerine & hematoid points are quartz.
 

Quartz crystals are formed in the earth's crust. Quartz is the most common mineral on Earth, making up about 12% of the planet's crust. Quartz is also one of the most common gemstones, with over 90% being quartz crystal. It is found in many different colors and varieties. Quartz crystals are formed when silicon dioxide molecules are heated to a high temperature and then cooled quickly.

Voyage Michigan : Smokey Citrine Feature

5/12/2022

Craig was interviewed by Voyage Michigan. Please follow this link to read the full article. 
Full Interview

"Smokey Citrine came about in 2019 when my partner Citrine LaCroix and I discovered that we both share a love and appreciation for gemstones, crystals, minerals, and stylish goods. We also love the mining and gem trading experience. We take annual trips to different mines around the U.S. to source gems. There’s something very relaxing and therapeutic about getting dirty and searching for crystals in piles of rocks and mud. We also love to buy gemstones directly from miners and ethical gem traders from all over the world."

​"Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
There are always shifts and changes when it comes to art and fashion. As time goes on, I see exclusive and limited-edition art becoming less of an elite thing and more normalized throughout all levels of society. In the past, only certain people bought and appreciated art and collected rare creations. Now it appears that more people are exploring their creative side. In the future people are going to want more handmade things that are unique and related to them in some way. People will prefer buying high-quality custom goods directly from the creator vs factory-made mass-produced products that were designed to be thrown away after a few uses. Unique wall art, jewelry, and décor will be just as important as a sofa and television set and people will venture to local markets and small shops to find these goods. "

Elevated & Illuminated With Herkimer Diamond Quartz

3/31/2021

2 Comments

 
We are beyond excited to announce our April Birthstone Collection featuring Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystals sourced by our hands in the USA. We have traveled to Central New York for the last two years sourcing these gorgeous gemstones directly to create the most exciting jewelry for you. These gemstones are double terminated, crystal clear, and formed right here in the USA! 
Picture

Instead of working with the traditional April Birthstone, we decided to employ Herkimer Diamond Quartz. Herkimer Diamond Quartz rivals the diamond in beauty, natural form, and luminance. What does double terminated mean? This term refers to the points on each end of the crystal. You may have seen a crystal point in your life. It usually has a point on one end and the other end is more raw or rugged because it's been plucked from the host stone. The host stone is also known as the Matrix. Herkimer Diamonds are unique because their formations have points on both sides, meaning double terminated. 
Picture

Citrine read the Herkimer Diamond Quartz entry from The Book of Stones on her youtube channel. You can listen to this crystal reading by clicking here. Herkimer refers to ONE of the areas in Central New York where these fabulous gemstones are found and mined for. The term 'Diamond' in the name is reference to the stunning and nearly perfect crystal shapes these gems form in, directly out of the earth. We kid you not, you can crack open the host stone and pick up a perfectly shaped crystal that's also optically clear! Many times without washing or cleaning the surfaces. Some of these crystals have black inclusions which create a wonderful cosmic aesthetic with sparkles and rainbows. The Herkimer Diamond Quartz is truly magnificent and that is exactly why we created these jewels for you to wear.
