Since 1996, Kacha Stones has specialised in ethically mined crystals. Ethical sourcing is important not only for the environment and mining communities, but also and for keeping the crystal's energy vibrant and intact. Blasting a hole in the earth and collecting the rubble does not produce the best crystals.

Most crystal shops use the "ethically mined" prefix, which is only possible by buying directly from miners. For 30 years, we have worked directly with miners from the icy slopes of the Himalayas to the arid deserts of Namibia.
