Eco Friendly Ingredients part 2~

I’m back, friends!

This time, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of

Crystals and Minerals!

Since everyone likes shiny rocks, and since crystals and minerals are found literally everywhere, I figured this was the next logical step in this undertaking.

When you go out looking for crystals at a specialty store, make sure you get ethically sourced, wholesale rocks, or rocks grown in a lab. I know witches on both sides, and I get where each are coming from.

If you get rocks you know are ethically sourced (i.e not through unpaid labor like *blood diamonds*), then good for you. Sometimes, witches are broke, and can’t drop a crap ton of money on rocks. That’s where lab grown rocks come in. 1000% cheaper, same rocks (arguably). Regardless, know where your rocks are coming from.

It might be helpful to have a little guidebook on rocks to help you identify what you have, especially if you’re going for cheap tumbled rocks like what you find in a gift store. Then you know what you have!

I hope this was helpful, and not some incoherent rambling. If you have any requests for the next installment of the Eco-Friendly Ingredients, please let me know!
