We use a wide range of shipping materials for our online orders, and we do our best to keep our planet in mind when packing orders, while also being sure your crystals will arrive safely. Our mailers are all made from recycled content and biodegradable. Our tape is entirely plantderived, renewable, and industrially compostable, and our packing peanuts are made from starch and decompose in water leaving no toxic waste.

We believe in giving a second life to the shipping supplies used in the shipments we receive from our suppliers. We often save newspaper, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts to reuse for our online orders. Crystals that are delicate in nature will be wrapped in bubble wrap when necessary.

Our crystal offerings come from all over the world. You will find the country of origin listed in the description of each listing. A high percentage of our pieces come from artisanal lapidaries who work directly with our family owned suppliers. These suppliers pride themselves in paying fair trade prices for these minerals and working with the miners and lapidaries to create a beneficial relationship for all involved.

Some suppliers do not have websites with information on their ethical policies readily available. In cases like this, we ask questions concerning employee pay, age, and working conditions. As most of these businesses are small and family owned, they are happy to talk this through with us and provide photos of their operation.

We do our very best to stay up to date on mining practices throughout the world in order to bring you stones that have mined been in the most ethical way possible. For example, we currently will not be stocking Lapis Lazuli due to its Taliban connections or Jade from Myanmar because of child labor.

All of the crystals we carry are natural with a few exceptions that are always clearly labeled and explained in the description. These exceptions include aura and heat treated crystals (enhanced) and Goldstone (man-made from natural copper).

Aura crystals are created by placing a natural crystal specimen in a vacuum chamber under extreme levels of heat and infused with silver, platinum, and gold particles. The vaporized particles of metal condense onto the crystal’s surface and bond to its form. The crystals and metals are both natural, but the process is considered an enhancement.

Heat treated crystals have been exposed to high temperatures in order to enhance or change the color and clarity. The only example of this we carry is our “Citrine Tumbled Pocket Stone (Heat Treated)”. The majority of Citrine on the market is actually heat treated Amethyst. You can tell the difference between natural and heat treated by the color: heat treated Amethyst is typically more on the orange side than natural Citrine. This practice is very common and accepted in the industry; however, clear labeling is necessary.

Goldstone is a man-made stone that does not form naturally; however, its copper components do, which is why we carry it. To learn more about Goldstone and how it is made, visit our crystal meaning page here.

Read our blog post for a full explanation: Crystals have been used for healing, protection and meditation by civilizations throughout history dating back 40,000 years. These practices have been passed down from generation to generation. Although many people rely heavily on their intuition when working with crystals, we believe it’s also important to understand the overarching science behind this work.

All matter vibrates at different vibrational frequencies. This vibration is called a Dominant Oscillatory Rate or DOR. As humans, we are made up of trillions of DORs as each cell in our body vibrates at its own DOR. Crystals, on the other hand, only have one DOR.

The molecules in a crystal are arranged in a fixed repeating pattern. Unlike humans, this structure makes crystals highly stable, allowing them to easily maintain their DOR. When we bring crystals into our energy field, the process of entrainment begins. Entrainment is when the rhythm of a more stable energy causes another energy to gradually synchronize with it. This is the Universe’s way of bringing energies into balance.

Because of the precise stable energy of crystals, they are used for many things in today’s world. You may not realize it, but you probably use crystals daily. Examples of crystal usage found in day-to-day life include watches, radio, television, radar, computer chips, phones, solar panels, lasers, and more.

All of these examples show that certain crystals act as resonators and transducers of electromagnetic energies. Knowing this fact, it's reasonable to consider the idea that crystals may be capable of transforming and/or magnifying other forms of energy that have not yet been measured by today’s scientific tools. Our crystal offerings are for those who believe in that possibility and are interested in using the powerful stable energy of crystals to align themselves with the vibration of their choosing.

There are some key points that must be understood before using crystals:
1. Because your energy is unique to you, so will be your experience with a particular crystal. Invest time experimenting and use the crystal meaning pages on our website to spark inspiration for your own rituals and practices.
2. Crystals act as tools in your healing journey, not an instant cure. They allow energy to flow more easily and are a tangible representation of your intentions. They are not your healer. You are your own healer.

You can choose the crystal you want to work with based on your intention or your intuition. Use the filter function on our product pages to select the intention you want to focus on (such as abundance, manifestation, or stress relief). This is the easiest way to find the perfect crystal for your situation, and sometimes one you might not have even known you needed!

Another way to make your crystal selection is to use your intuition. Scan through our crystal offerings until a crystal jumps out at you. You may be drawn to its color, pattern, sheen, texture, or other unique characteristics. Read the short description in the listing or click through to its crystal meaning page for a more in-depth explanation of its energy. If the information resonates, it's the one for you!

There are endless ways to incorporate crystal energy into your life. From placement in your home, to accompanying meditations, making crystal grids, creating gem elixirs and more, crystals can be added to your everyday routine with ease. Within each crystal meaning page on our website, we give one placement idea and one ritual example to get you started. Keep in mind that tapping into crystal energy can be as simple as assigning an intention to a stone and keeping that stone nearby.

Cleansing your crystals is up to your own discretion. Some crystal enthusiasts claim it is necessary maintenance for the stone. However, others believe crystals will eventually always return back to their original Dominant Oscillatory Rate or DOR.

There are many methods to cleanse crystals, including, but not limited to: running them under water (make sure your crystal is water safe), exposing them to moonlight, sound therapy (using tuning forks or singing bowls), burying them in the earth, smoke cleansing with herbal wands, visualization, and more. Click here to learn about all methods on our blog!

The shape of a crystal has a huge impact on its energy output, usage, and meaning. For example, raw stones usually carry a much stronger vibration than a tumbled version of the same crystal. To learn more about the meanings behind different crystal shapes, check out our blog post here.

Although Rocks with Sass started as a jewelry business, we now focus primarily on crystal specimens. We are no longer offering custom jewelry services and instead periodically release new jewelry styles for purchase.

Rocks with Sass is a retail-only store. We are not set up for wholesale purchases. As with any business, our list of suppliers is proprietary information and will not be shared. It takes an enormous amount of time, dedication, and funds to craft a list of trusted suppliers. We wish you all the best in finding the right suppliers for you and your business.
