Welcome to Moon and Minerals

Hi! I'm Esther and I have always been very attracted to crystals. I can still remember the first crystal I bought with my own pocket money when I was 6 years old. It's a beautiful Lapis Lazuli pendant I still wear (although I have to take it off at the moment as my 4 month old daughter has started to grab my necklace all the time and I am too afraid to lose it!).

I can't tell you why I chose Lapis Lazuli back then. It might have been the colour, the shape or maybe I was attracted to the vibes, even though I didn't know anything about vibes or metaphysical properties of crystals at all at that age.

From then on I was hooked, and my collection started to grow. As soon as I had some pocket money saved, I went into my local gem store and bought Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz and Agate. Now, some 30 years later my collection has grown so much and contains many raw and unique pieces, some geodes, rough stones and polished tumbles stones. I have even gone a little into tumbling the stones myself and will definitely keep doing that.

Lapis Lazuli, after all these years, is still my all time favourite. I have the pendant, many tumble stones I use for grid work, some small rough stones, a palm stone and worry stone, and a very large and unique piece my husband gave me for a wedding anniversary.

From crystals on my interest grew more into the spiritual direction. I've always been fascinated by the moon and the influence she has on the earth, on the sea and on us humans, and I started to follow the lunar cycle more and more from a teenager onwards. Back then lunar diaries or calendars didn't really exist in the amount they do now. With the internet and places like eBay and Etsy now, it's all so much more available to everyone, and still I found some lacking in information I wanted.

So... after I finished my university course in Graphic Design, an idea started to form. And that idea was the seed that now has blossomed into Moon and Minerals. A spiritual journal you can use for your own spiritual journey. You could use it as a normal diary, or a place to log your tarot or oracle cards for each day. You can track you mood, keep a close eye on your goals and so much more.

And from the journal so much more have developed as well. As my own spiritual journey is taking place, I am hoping for you to follow me along on!
