Where To Buy Crystals In The Florida Keys

During the winter months from November through April I live in The Florida Keys, on the island of Big Pine Key. I have my very own showroom here, I call it The Crystal Cottage.

The “Cottage” is a space where I can lay out my ever changing collection of Crystals, Gemstones, Minerals, Healing Gemstone Jewelry and other tools for personal growth.

The crystals and stones love to be out in the open air, where they receive plenty of light from the many windows in The Crystal Cottage. When I’m not in Florida the stones are boxed up and travel with me to Metaphysical Expos, Gem shows  and Art & Craft shows.  It is  a real treat to leave them out, carefully arranged on the tables and shelves where they can be admired, loved and purchased by those who come through The Crystal Cottage. >> Continue reading

My New Year’s Crystal Ritual


I stopped making New Year’s resolutions years ago. They just don’t work well for me. We begin the New Year filled with hope and make resolutions we know we won’t or can’t keep. New Years resolutions have always felt more like an empty wish than setting a true goal or intention.
What I love to do however are New Year Rituals. There is such power in a ritual, creating a sacred space filled with symbolism and intention.
A ritual can be as simple as stopping for a moment of silence and prayer before we eat our food. Or taking a moment to light a candle and offer out a blessing to someone we love. Or sending out gratitude to the new day as the sun rises to greet us each morning. Some rituals are steeped in spiritual tradition, carried out by many who came before us. >> Continue reading

CoralCalcite a beautiful blending of Coral & Calcite

Coralcalcite is a combination of Coral and Calcite, found in South Florida.   The structure and patterns of the Coral are still visibly. Over the years Calcite  has come in and covered over the coral. Coralcalcite is a beautiful blending of  the animal and mineral kingdom.

I was first introduced to CoralCalcite in 2010 when Robert Simmons, author of The Book of Stones showed me several pieces he found while vacationing in Florida. I immediately felt a connection to these pieces. I spend the winter months in the Florida Keys and had seen these stones before, but I didn’t know if it was Coral or Calcite or what special properties it held. Through meditation Robert discovered the wonderful healing qualities theses stones hold.

 Coralcalcite can assist in enhancing the level of vibration and harmony of   the entire body, enabling us to become more crystalline. Coralcalcite stimulates   the solar plexus Chakra, our place of will, aiding in focusing our attention and  intention so that we can accomplish our goals. >> Continue reading

Be Your Own Cupid- Choose Rose Quartz, Rhodonite or Rhodochrosite

Rose Quartz Heart
Looking for love this Valentine’s day? Start with loving yourself.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.-Deepak Chopra

 With Valentine’s day being on February 14th, February is known as the month of romance. But for many who don’t have a romantic partner in their life, Valentine’s day can be a  lonely or even depressing holiday. Rather  than close your heart  to the pain of love lost, open your heart to yourself this Valentine’s day. Whether you are in a relationship or not, flow loving energy to yourself. When we first learn to truly love ourselves we can open our hearts to receive the love of others.
