Hi, it’s me! 👋

I learned gemmology so you don’t have to. Wait… let’s back up a little!

I founded Self & Others during the 2020 pandemic while in lockdown, with the intention of helping people discover the perfect healing crystals and wellness tools to enhance their self-care rituals.

When I started sourcing crystals and gemstones, I realised really quickly that there were a number of dishonest sellers not disclosing treatments or sellers who had no idea what they were selling! I was new and ended up getting duped and scammed and I felt awful! I was frustrated by the lack of reliable resources for crystal healing community and I was running the risk of buying dodgy products.

I decided to take matters into my own hands, and chose to study gemmology. I received my certificate from The Gemmological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A), which gave me the confidence be able to source authentic goods.

I now want to help other crystal healers and beginners by making the science easy to understand and help you identify materials so you don’t get duped!

So… I learned gemmology so you don’t have to!
