You're probably reading this right now because you're interested in crystals and would like to make a difference... and it's true, there is illegal and irresponsible crystal extraction... it's the depressing truth.
Where do these gems come from? (If they can't tell you where the resources are from, you can't be confident they know if they're sustained or not.. and I'd advise you to go on.)
Ask "Why are they so cheap?" rather than "Why are other highly priced?" (Due to unjust salaries, coerced labor laws, and huge output of unstable operations, crystal firms who may be promoting illicit production are able to maintain their pricing cheap).
Here's how to be certain the gemstones are environmentally safe:
- Inquire about the sources of items from merchants, both in online and in person. Take your money somewhere else if they can't give a clear response.
- Start to respond to public officials, urging them to enact tighter employment and mineral rules, notably in countries beyond your own.
- SPREAD AWARENESS by discussing crystals extraction concerns with your acquaintances and connections.
- The stones we like may, indeed, have beneficial benefits on individuals who possess them. However, if workers, kids, or a habitat were hurt in the course of delivering that slice of pink sapphire to your doorway, those positive sentiments are not at all valuable.
Kindly decide to help ethical and environmentally friendly businesses like ours as well. Not only in the crystal sector, but in all other industries as well. We can make a difference if we work together.
