Captured by a tree.

Released by time.

Long before humans walked the Earth, resin flowed down an ancient tree, trapping tiny fragments of life in a golden embrace.
Thousands of years later, that same resin became copal amber - preserving a story that can still be held in your hands.
Every insect inclusion is a real moment from the distant past.

There are 5 insects in this piece 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

Every piece I create is truelly one of a kind. 🍂✨

Born from the earth, wrapped by hand, and photographed among ancient trees.
Smoky Quartz carries the quiet energy of the forest—steady, protective, and grounding. A stone for releasing heavy energy, finding inner calm, and returning to yourself.
Each piece I create is one of a kind, allowing the natural beauty of the crystal to speak for itself.
🤎 Handmade in Australia.

Names have been coming to me again lately...
I dont name every piece...
But some i do 💕

"The Wayfinder" came because Kyanite is often associated with alignment and finding direction..
I imagined a nomadic explorer/adventurer type being drawn to this one. 💙🤎

"Emerald Citadel" because this green does not remind me of a forest, it feels futuristic, luminous, almost synthetic looking ( even though it isnt)
Like a fragment of some Crystalline architecture from another world. 💚

"Sun, Moon, and stars" because the macrame is a star pattern, and the crystal reminded me of a glowing Full Moon - or the Sun.
I couldn't decide 😂 so put them all.
💛☀️🌕⭐️🌟

What do you think, should they get names ?

Guess who's back...
New varient of the name ~ Mooka by Manya ( trying it out ? ) votes ? 😂
New bio,
New fresh inspiration to make some truelly special and unique pieces ! ( been deep diving in some avocado trays iv had for years and getting excited about my collection.. there are some pluses to being a hoarder of crystals! )
Some of these things are near extinct now...
Excited to show you some of the bits iv been stashing away 🙂
Also New motivation to learn the business side of things.. ( ughh i just like creating .. )
But I made my first spreadsheet last night 😂
And hopefully I can learn how to show up here in a way that isn't representative of the fossils i wrap..
Learn how to make a reel and whatnot lol.
Do some sped up videos of me making a necklace ? 😂
( I dunno? someone send help 🙏 )

Anyway watch this space, hopefully I dont just disappear again for a few more years 💃

And you get to watch me awkwardly fumble the changes in social media ( that I certainly have not kept up with ) in an attempt to bring these pages back from the 💀

I did see today though, ( whilst trying to figure out how to edit the name)
That this page was created in 2013 !

Grounding and protective Smoky Quartz, Black Tourmaline and Carnelian Flower Statement piece in progress ….
This one is taking awhile…..
It’s gonna be a special piece so it’s worth it.
Iv been saving these tiny high grade faceted carnelian beads for years for something special, and this is it 🌼
It’s hard to capture how tiny and gorgeous these carnelian facet beads are 😍
