Hi there! I’m Amanda, an avid collector of crystals, stones, minerals, fossils, and meteorites. I absolutely love what I do and if you’re like me, you will love what you find at Raw and Refined Earth.
I’ve been collecting specimens since I was 9-years-old. It’s a lasting passion that has led me to where I am today. Formerly, I was a busy senior director at a healthcare firm. I knew that my role in the corporate world wasn’t what I wanted for myself and my family. I wanted to embrace my curiosity of all things raw and refined.
In 2015, I started creating unique jewelry pieces and the same year, I opened a store here on Etsy. The next year, I rebranded my shop to focus on my true passion.
I participate in local markets, donate proceeds to various charities, speak at our local schools, and teach children about the world of rocks and crystals.
I’m very proud of the relationships that I’ve built with my customers through Etsy. Your experience at RaRE is my priority and I promise to work with you, educate you, and provide you with an amazing experience.
