At Wicked Stones, we guarantee that you will always receive the crystal you see in the product listing unless it is specifically stated otherwise. If there is an intuitive pick for a particular crystal you have chosen, you will know before ordering. We know and understand that each crystal is unique and has its own special energy, so we take great care to photograph each item individually. You can even ask us to take more photos to send to you if you would like so you can get a better look at it. This means that the crystal you choose is the crystal you will receive.

Over the past 20 years, we have been incredibly lucky to be working hand in hand with another family business here in Ontario. Our crystals arrive from various locations around the world with very few people or businesses in between. Some of our crystals even arrive with the original dirt from the mines still surrounding the stones! (Often it takes a fair amount and effort to clean these beauties up!) Also, many of our gemstones have been sourced from local collectors, friends and family. Wicked Stones has been around since the 1990s and we have built a trustworthy supply line to ensure we offer beautiful and authentic gemstones and crystals.

We have various types of cords and necklaces we offer with our crystals. Here are some helpful tips about what's in your order. Leather and water don't like each other much. They really are not friends. We've run tests and the average lifespan of a leather cored necklace is about 9 to 12 months of 24/7 wear. They will break over time. Showers really shorten their lifespan so consider taking it off now and then. You can often warm the cord by running it between your fingers if it gets stuck in the wrong shape and as it warms it will change shape. Vegan *leather* cords like to be worn. The ones that I offer tend to get stiff if you are not wearing them. Lay them flat when not wearing or hang them. Stuffing them into a drawer with no care will create a nasty ugly mess that won't be easy to straighten out. Never, ever coil them up to store them or they will retain that shape. Sterling Silver chains last a long time but will need to be cleaned. Tarnish happens no matter what. They can be worn 24/7 but don't much like pools and other areas with high chlorine. You can hang them up when not wearing them or store them wrapped loosely in a soft bag or pouch with no tension on the necklace. Silver plate chains WILL tarnish over time. Store them in a soft pouch or bag loosely so there is no strain on the links. Stainless Steel chains usually last a long time. They tend to get dull but you can often clean them up with a little mild soap and water. You can store these in a soft bag or pouch as well. Fabric cord knotted end necklaces always need to have their knotted ends checked once and a while. We really strive to get those knots secure, but over time they can loosen. Please check and re-tighten often to ensure the safety of your crystal pendant. Cotton cords with a clasp don't like to get wet. The moisture softens the material and over time, the cord clasp can break down. So keep your necklace out of pools, showers, tubs or any other humid locations for extended periods of time.

We work with a few types of wire here at Wicked Stones. Every handcrafted item will list the wire used to create your unique one-of-a-kind piece in the description as well. Sterling silver: Sterling silver is the perfect wire for crystal wrapping that is intended to last for generations! This is a precious metal that is strong and not easily tarnished. It is super easy to clean using a silver polish cloth to have it return to its original shine. It's meant to be generational and long-lasting and is usually most suitable for those with sensitivity to metals. (Keeping in mind we are all unique humans, and our sensitivities are never the same). Artisan Wire: Artisan wire is our more affordable line of wire that is highly tarnish-resistant. Extra measures have been taken in the creation process of this type of wire to extend the beautiful longevity of its incredible shine. The inner core is usually copper or brass (depending on the wire colour and style). You will always find the wire type used to create your unique piece of handcrafted jewelry listed in the description. It is suggested you keep this type of wire pendant out of moist areas such as pools and humid areas. Keep it dry and wipe clean when needed. You'll discover that we use both silver, gold and copper toned wires on some of our product lines. Copper Wire: Our copper collection is crafted using beautiful copper wire. We all react in our own way to copper and it's important to note that after time, the wire will change. Coated copper is more tarnish-resistant but after time it will begin to age. A good suggestion would be to keep your copper jewelry away from humid and damp areas. Store it in a dry location when not wearing it. Bare copper wire will tarnish faster.

Storage When not wearing your crystal, try to store them somewhere where they will not fall and hit the floor. Crystals will break and should be considered fragile. Consider picking up a small box to store them in as you would any fine jewelry or place them in a drawer. A suggestion would be to wrap the stones in a soft cloth so they won't be scratched by other crystals or items nearby when not in use and the cords wont tangle as much. Sunlight Sunlight is not your crystal's friend (For the most part - it's okay for some, not so much for others.) Be aware that prolonged exposure to sunlight will change the original colour of crystals so keep your gems out of the sun. Amethyst is a big no-no for being in the sunshine as it will pull the colour from the crystal over time. Tarnish Silver. Always. Tarnishes. Do not store them in humid or hot areas as it may cause quicker tarnishing. Sterling silver WILL tarnish no matter what you do as there are variable conditions that cause this. Be aware that you will need to clean your silver from time to time. There are many things that can cause tarnish like your hairspray, the soap you use, your body chemistry, sun tan lotion and oils. The universe is a hodgepodge of tarnish recipes just waiting to happen. Please do not use sterling dip to clean your pendants. Use a soft polishing cloth and take the time to clean safely. Often crystals can be damaged by chemicals. Breakage Crystals and gems can break when dropped so be cautious when taking them off and on. They can also break during storage if you have decided to hang them and they get banged around. Cats are notorious for playing with dangling crystals if you let them and they may break. Bathrooms are notorious places for crystal breakages! If you plan on taking them off before showering, do so away from porcelain sinks and tubs as if they fall and hit those they most likely will break. Please, no hot tubs or high chlorine areas! Cleaning I suggest cleaning your jewelry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth meant for silver cleaning. Often just showering and using soap will help clean "some" of the tarnish off. Avoid using liquid dip silver cleaners as this can damage softer crystals.

There is a lot of information out there for you to discover. When we first started, there weren't a lot of websites and or resource books for quick information. So we spent a lot of time working one-on-one with our clients helping them to locate that perfect crystal they needed. That's changed over the decades and now you can discover a lot just by searching! There are tons of books and online and offline resources. But every now and then, you just need a little help with something. If you have a question or need a little advice? Feel free to send a note and I'll answer as soon as I possibly can. I may have to ask you a few personal questions to get to know the issue a bit more clearly. Usually we try to answer as quickly as possible.

Shopping for healing stones can be challenging. First and foremost, I tell everyone to use their intuition and listen to your inner voice. If it feels right to you, then it probably is. So if you are looking around and checking my site out and it feels good? Then follow that. Feel free to reach out and ask me questions. I have worked with a lot of people over the past 20-plus years and I understand that choosing a healing crystal is a journey. A little history: I've been working with crystals and gemstones since 1999. During this time I've been helping people via email, text message, phone and in person to find that special crystal they are seeking. That takes time and often I spend days, weeks and even months with clients trying to get exactly what they need. I'm extremely patient. And, you just can't rush this process. Crystal healing has to feel right for you. The stones you see on my site are, for the most part, found at local shows, and at reputable vendors across Canada and some are even from old collections from fellow crystal enthusiasts. There are even some crystals that I've hand-picked in nature in my travels across the world. (I'll always let you know that in the listings). This is my joy and my passion and I'm doing this because I love crystals and I'm not only making a piece of art for you to wear, I'm spreading the healing energy across the world. With that said, you will no doubt notice tiny errors on my website or things that are just odd now and then. The reason for that is that we're humans behind this website. Everything is handcrafted with great passion and love for what we do. But some days, there's just not enough coffee in the world and I do make spelling errors or mess up a photo now and then. Everything in our business is done right here in our home studios and we are simply in love with the entire process. Thanks for reading.

Yes! That's what started me on this journey to begin with all those decades ago. My current go to crystal is a gorgeous piece of black and green Tourmaline. This one helps keep negative energy from taking over my moods as well as invites abundance into my life. Also, I have recently put a marvellous Amethyst crystal point over by my printer as it helps to keep the energy in my workspace calm and at peace. And if you are still reading here? Whenever I go on long trips anywhere and I'm driving, I always wear my ankle bracelet made of Jade. I love the calming effect it has and it gives me a sense of protection in my travels. Crystals are my passion and everyone I am friends with probably has more than a few of my pieces as I love sharing them.

Where do your herbs come from? I'm very lucky to be located in an area that is blessed with many wild herbs as well as having the outdoor space to be able to create and work with Mother Nature to grow an abundance of items. The picture to the left is one of our many beautiful Mullein areas on the yard that we've grown. There will be times that I will not sell particular herbs as I need to let my beds and plants rest. This means not all items you have ordered in past years will be available at all times. I am always very clear in my listings on this as the sustainability of my area is more important. Florals are never over picked as I allow the insects, birds and wildlife the opportunity to take what they need. Every herb is picked with love and care for the plants further existence. Some herbals? I can not grow here due to the short and cold season. Even with an active greenhouse area, there's just not enough heat and warmth for some plants. If I don't grow or wildcrift them personally, I buy from a single trusted source that is a Fair Trade greenhouse that is ISO22000 certified.
