LOVE - NURTURE - PEACE
These natural pieces of rose quartz are like no other, spreading love not only from the hands of the miners themselves, but also impacting the future of equality in mining for African women. As well as being hand selected for their beauty and powerful energy, these crystals have a higher purpose with a conscious mission...
THE CRYSTAL
Known as the stone of the heart and unconditional love. It carries the compassionate energy of peace, tenderness and healing, nourishment and comfort. We love using rose quartz to help us chill out at the end of a long day. Great to use as part of your self-care routine, especially when it comes to healing feminine associated issues.
THE STORY
Proudly bringing you the world's first verified mine-to-market rose quartz crystals with a higher purpose as part of our sister social enterprise Crystal Clear™. SLC's founder, Jill Urwin, has been working for years to clean up opaque supply chains in the crystal industry. This rose quartz, from a female owned mine in Malawi is an example of our efforts to provide the artisanal miners with a route to market that enables the final customer - you- to buy with complete clarity and confidence.
Crystal Clear™ has completed CRAFT due diligence guidelines at the mine to monitor fair trade practices and identify areas of improvement as part of a longer term partnership with the mine. To provide further transparency, the batches of rose quartz are recorded on blockchain technology Provenance Proof.
The mine owner, Margaret, is an inspiration and has been campaigning for women's rights in Africa since 2002. You can see Margaret at her mine in the photos.
GIVING BACK
£1 from every piece of rose quartz sold is donated to the Malawi Women in Mining Association (MAWIMA) in support of equality. Mining in Africa is unfortunately a challenge for women. They fall victim to exploitation and inequality, but there is a movement rising against this.
