What is Ethical Sourcing?

Gemtuitive is committed to providing our customers with the highest quality of ethically sourced crystals and minerals. In order to do this, we have built and maintained relationships with a shortlist of researched and trusted suppliers who have made stringent ethical sourcing standards an integral part of their mission. 

Our suppliers are small family-operated businesses that have built direct relationships with family-owned mines. They are committed to the rigorous legwork involved in verifying that all mines where crystals are sourced abide by strict safety, health, and environmental standards. It is also verified that workers are adequately protected, paid a livable wage, and that no child or slave labor is ever involved.

These mines are socially and environmentally conscious small-scale or artisanal operations that offset the environmental impact of their activities through environmental preservation and by creating positive benefits in their communities. Most materials are mined using surface methods such as shovel or pickaxe, which is far less invasive to the earth than commercial mining operations. All crystals are mined exclusively, which also ensures that they are not byproducts of other potentially harmful industries. 

When something is done consciously and given with love and respect, you feel the difference; whether that is a handmade product, a service provided, a meal, or a crystal. At Gemtuitive, we care deeply and aim to honor the earth, the workers, and all of the resources that went into making it possible for us to be able to provide you with these gifts from nature.
