About My Aura Gemstones

Welcome to My Aura Gemstones, where every piece of jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a vessel of energy, intention, and personal transformation.

My Aura Gemstones is a small, family-owned shop offering genuine natural crystals, handcrafted gemstone jewelry, and nature-inspired stone décor. We’re not a big warehouse brand — every order is chosen, checked, and packed by our family.

Our Story

Our story begins with a serendipitous moment at Disney World, where I met my husband during a college internship. That magical encounter blossomed into a beautiful life together, blessed with three incredible children. Being a stay-at-home mother has been a calling of love, especially in caring for our family, including a child with special needs. That path awakened a deeper understanding of emotional energy and led me to the calming beauty of crystals.

What started as a personal love for stones grew into a shop, so we could share genuine, meaningful pieces with others who feel that same pull.

The Name Behind the Magic

The name My Aura Gemstones was inspired by our youngest daughter, Aura, whose radiant spirit surprised us in the most beautiful way. Her name was inspired by the breathtaking rainbow aurora — the same vibrant energy and color we see in every crystal.

Our logo has its own story too: a regal rabbit inspired by Rocky, a much-loved member of our family, and a gemstone lotus symbolizing growth and new beginnings. Read the story behind our logo →

How We Choose Our Stones

We hand-select every piece for its color, clarity, flash, and character. We offer natural stones and say so plainly in each listing. When a treatment, plating, or protective finish is known and affects how a piece looks, we disclose it in the product description. Because every crystal is a natural creation, no two pieces are ever exactly alike — and we think that’s the best part.

Want to learn before you buy? Our Crystal Guide & Knowledge Center covers crystal meanings, how to choose your first stone, how to spot fakes, and how to care for your crystals.

Our Promise

We are committed to offering genuine, energy-filled crystal gemstones at fair, affordable prices. Every stone is carefully selected, energetically cleansed, and packed with care — in recycled boxes and wrap whenever possible, with a complimentary gift pouch in every order. We ship across the United States and worldwide.

Crystal meanings shared on our site reflect traditional and metaphysical beliefs, offered for inspiration and enjoyment — not as medical claims or a substitute for professional care.
