We learned so many new things from her and she confirmed a few things we had been suspecting. We had a blast with her! It was like talking to an old friend we just hadn't met. We didn't get the privilege of meeting her husband, but we LOVE the pieces he has handcrafted that they have in the shop, and we both left with some gorgeous new things. I am excited to patronize their Etsy shop in the future, but I am grateful that we were able to visit in person and feel the wonderful energy that emanates from these beautiful creations. My friend bought Julie's book, Crystal Messengers, and has hardly put it down since we left. We are so happy we stopped in and best of all, we left there gaining a new friend!

This was our first dig for crystals; now we are hooked. We really had no idea what to expect other than what we had read before planning our excursion. Julie is phenomenal, a wealth of knowledge, free spirit. She is so knowledgeable and full of wonderful stories. She shared excavating hints and tips, which I truly believe lead us to find really nice crystals for our first time. The mountain is full of quartz just on the surface without digging. After our dig, at the recommendation of Julie, we visited Collier Springs. What a refreshing break from the July heat! The area is truly magical and definitely worth the drive from the Crystal Seen Excavation site. The pure crystal clear waters are cold, refreshing, and healing. Just what we needed after a very hot July dig...the icing on the cake Thank you, Julie, for sharing the pure beauty of Mother Earth. This is an experience that we will never forgot. Many blessings to you and your family. Looking forward to our next outing.
