2. Product Information & Availability

We strive to provide accurate product descriptions, photographs, ingredients, pricing, and availability.

Because certain products are handcrafted or made from naturally occurring materials, variations in color, texture, shape, size, and appearance may occur.

Product photographs are intended to represent items as accurately as possible. Differences in screen displays, lighting, and natural materials may affect appearance.

We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or limit products and services without prior notice.

3. Crystals, Minerals & Natural Materials

Crystals and mineral specimens are naturally occurring materials that may contain variations in color, size, shape, texture, inclusions, and surface characteristics.

Natural formations, mineral inclusions, and other inherent characteristics are not necessarily considered defects.

Some items may be individually photographed, while others may be represented by sample images. Unless otherwise specified, customers may receive an item with natural variations from the photographed example.

Descriptions referencing traditional meanings, symbolism, or personal intentions are provided for informational and personal interest purposes.

We do not represent that crystals or minerals provide medically established healing benefits, prevent illness, or produce guaranteed physical, emotional, or financial outcomes.

Crystals and minerals are not substitutes for professional medical care. Certain minerals may be fragile, contain sharp edges, or require special handling. Keep products away from small children and pets when appropriate. Do not ingest minerals or use them to prepare drinking water unless their safety for that specific purpose has been independently established.

4. Pricing & Payments

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.

Prices and promotions may change without notice. Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other fees will be displayed during checkout where required.

Payment must be successfully processed before an order is fulfilled unless otherwise agreed.

Pricing for marketing and creative services, consulting, and other professional services may be established through individual proposals, invoices, or written agreements.

We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and cancel affected orders. Payments collected for canceled orders will be refunded.

5. Orders & Cancellations

An order confirmation acknowledges receipt of an order but does not guarantee acceptance.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel orders due to product availability, payment issues, suspected fraud, pricing errors, or other legitimate business reasons.

Customers requesting order modifications or cancellations should contact us as soon as possible. Changes may not be possible once fulfillment has begun.

6. Shipping & Local Pickup

Terms governing professional services, digital resources, coaching sessions, and event registrations may differ and will be disclosed in the applicable agreement or purchase information.

8. Product Use & Safety

Bath, body, and fragrance products should be used according to their intended purposes and accompanying directions.

Customers should review ingredient information before use, particularly when known allergies or sensitivities exist.

Food preservation content should be evaluated alongside current, research-based food safety recommendations from recognized authorities. Users are responsible for following appropriate food handling, preservation, and storage procedures.
