Wholesale Crystals UK: Ethical Sourcing with Crystals & Reiki

Introduction

At Crystals & Reiki, we pride ourselves on offering responsibly sourced crystals for wholesale in the UK. Our commitment to ethical practices ensures that every crystal we sell is genuine and sourced with integrity. In this post, we'll share our approach to sourcing crystals, the countries we visit, and the measures we take to ensure the highest standards of quality and ethical responsibility.

Sourcing from Trusted Countries

India

India is renowned for its rich mineral deposits and exquisite crystals. We visit India regularly to deal directly with miners, ensuring that the crystals we obtain are authentic and responsibly sourced. By working directly with miners, we can avoid unethical practices such as dying crystals or using wax to temporarily enhance their colour. We have connections in the Himalayas and in Maharashtra where we regularly buy from the coveted Jalgaon Mines.

Indonesia

Indonesia is another key country in our sourcing strategy. The diverse range of crystals found here makes it an important destination for us. We maintain close relationships with local miners to ensure that all crystals are mined responsibly and ethically. Our presence in Indonesia helps us guarantee that the crystals we offer are free from any deceptive practices.

Brazil

Brazil is famous for its stunning quartz, amethyst, and other gemstones. We travel to Brazil to work directly with miners, ensuring that we obtain the highest quality crystals without resorting to unethical methods. Our direct involvement allows us to ensure that the crystals are natural and untreated, preserving their natural beauty and energetic properties.

Ensuring Fair Compensation and Ethical Practices

At Crystals & Reiki, we believe in fair compensation for all miners. Our miners are among the richest individuals in their communities, thanks to the fair wages we pay them. By ensuring that our miners are well-compensated, we contribute to the economic well-being of their communities and promote sustainable mining practices.

Setting Up Ethical Shaping Facilities

To further enhance our commitment to responsible sourcing, we are setting up shaping facilities in Indonesia and India. These facilities will be equipped with suitable ventilation equipment and compulsory face masks to prevent silicosis (silica poisoning). By implementing these safety measures, we ensure the health and well-being of our workers while maintaining the highest standards of crystal shaping.

Preventing Unethical Practices

One of the key reasons we deal directly with miners is to prevent unethical practices such as:

• Dying Crystals: Some sellers dye crystals to enhance their appearance artificially. We ensure that all our crystals are natural and untreated.
• Waxing Crystals: Waxing is used to temporarily enhance a crystal's color and shine. We only offer crystals that are free from such treatments.
• Poor Working Conditions: By working directly with miners and setting up our shaping facilities, we ensure safe and fair working conditions for all involved.

Commitment to Responsible Sourcing

Our commitment to responsible sourcing goes beyond the surface. We are dedicated to providing our customers with the most responsibly sourced crystals available for wholesale. By visiting countries such as India, Indonesia, and Brazil, and dealing directly with miners, we ensure that every crystal we offer is genuine and ethically sourced.

By visiting countries like India, Indonesia, and Brazil, and working directly with miners, we ensure that our crystals are genuine, untreated, and sourced with integrity. Our efforts to set up ethical shaping facilities further demonstrate our dedication to the well-being of our workers and the quality of our crystals.
