About Us

Welcome to Jewel And Crystal Guide!

We are so happy to have you over for a visit.

Here we share with you a passion for the captivating cosmos of crystals. From amethyst to zircon and everything in between, this is where we give the facts and uncover the mysteries of jewels and crystals.

We believe there’s a place for both science and mysticism, and this is where the two meet for a cup of coffee and a chat.

Our goal at Jewel And Crystal Guide is to do our own research and testing, and to reveal all that we discover and know about crystals in a simple, factual way.

As we do this, we make sure to explore and enjoy the softer esoteric qualities of crystals too.

Our Journey


Every crystal has a story, and so do we.

Founded by Monique le Riche, a crystal collector with a strong respect for the sciences, our journey began with her simple yet profound curiosity about these glowing minerals.

Monique le Riche – Founder of Jewel And Crystal Guide.

Monique’s quest to understand crystals’ natural beauty and their deeper stories led her to gather a vast collection of crystals. From there, she starting studying and working with crystals in her search to truly understand the essence of each piece.

Monique’s crystal collection was the start of Jewel and Crystal Guide, and it hasn’t stopped growing since.
