Mabuhay (Hello) everyone and Welcome to Collector of Pretty Rocks!
First off, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rachel. I am a first generation immigrant from the Philippines. I moved to California back in 2010. I am a hospice nurse by trade and I am still working as one full time while running the online store.
I singlehandedly started the store back in July 2022 but my love and passion for crystals started back in 2019 after my cousin gifted me my very first set of crystals. I was going through a rough patch back then and my cousin thought that I would benefit from the crystals that he curated for me. It was consisted of Rainbow Fluorite, Dumortierite, Malachite, Azurite, and Clear Quartz. Then fast-forward to now, 2023, I have accumulated over a hundred different kinds of crystals for my personal collection.
At first, I didn’t know anything about crystals and I started collecting based on what I thought was “pretty”, hence the name of my shop. 😊
Every day is still a learning experience for me and my shop and I am very grateful to everyone who has been here since Day 1. I wouldn’t have made it where I am today if it weren’t for all your love and support!
My goal for this shop is to help people curate their own personal collection by giving everyone access to affordable, high quality, and pretty crystals. 😊
If you made it this far, Maraming Salamat (Thank You) for reading and I hope you enjoy what I have in store for you all!
