Collectors First: A Statement of Purpose

At Crystal Castle, we believe every collector’s story matters: your curiosity, your passion, your path. A collection isn’t just a group of minerals; it’s a personal creation. Like a painting, a journal, or a garden, it reflects the spirit, growth, and care of the person who built it.

Collections are deeply personal, and each one is entirely unique. There’s no “better” or “best”, only different expressions of love for the natural world. Whether you’ve been collecting for decades or just picked up your first piece, your collection is valid.

Collectors First isn’t separate from our mission, it’s woven into everything we do. At Crystal Castle, we celebrate the people behind the minerals, because we believe the real treasure is the journey that brought them there.

Everyone is welcome.

Every story deserves to be shared.

Every collection is worthy of being celebrated.

We’re glad you’re here, and honored to be a part of your story!

A little about us: 

Hi, we're Devyn & Morgan. We're partners in collecting, business, and life. 

First thing: We're collectors too. You could even say we're Collectors First. (See what we did there?)

We have a combined 30 years of experience in collecting and selling crystals, jewelry, and fine minerals.

Our collection has specimens from all over the world, and in all sizes, from thumbnails to large cabinet specimens. (We collect minerals, not sizes)

We have a focus on aesthetic growth habits, rare formations, and unusual mineral phenomena. We like the weird rocks. 

Why we started Crystal Castle: 

Crystal Castle began as a shared dream. What started as us geeking out over fluorite habits and phantom inclusions evolved into something much bigger. It's our mission to share cool rocks with the world. 

We weren't always Crystal Castle, though. We started our journey as Overton Family Jewels, setting up at small art festivals and hosting live sales from our coffee table in our home. Fast forward 8 years, and we have a 2000+sqft warehouse that offers a unique in-person shopping experience that feels like you're at the gem show. 

We recognize that our niche industry supports mining communities, small and large, all over the world. We also understand and acknowledge the emotional impact that crystals and minerals have on us, from picking up cool rocks we find on walks, to gawking at world-class specimens in museums, to proudly displaying our personal collections and sharing them with anyone and everyone. 

We know this isn’t just about cool rocks and rare minerals. It's about the collections that tell a story, and the people who create them. 

We source direct: 

We’re proud to work directly with the miners and their families as often as we can, and we can trace most of our materials to their exact mine, mountain, or cave of origin. 

We only work with people we trust, and hold ourselves accountable to a high standard of transparency in our practices. 

We understand value: 

We believe in transparency, traceability, and value. Every piece we sell is tested, verified, and priced with intention. Our goal isn’t just to share minerals, it’s to honor them and make sure you’re getting quality, authenticity, and a fair price.

We encourage you to shop around: compare pricing, practices, and connection to who you buy from. Your collecting journey should be a good experience, one that you can enjoy for the rest of your life.

You’ll hear us say “Collectors First” a lot. That’s not just a catchphrase—it’s the pillar we stand on. Whether you’re new to collecting or decades deep, we want to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and excited to explore.
