About Me

Hi beautiful soul!

I’m Maria and the founder/creator of Soleil Crystals. A one woman band and her crystals - So you know that when you see an Instagram post, when you place an order, it’s me on the other end!

I started Soleil Crystals because of my own personal love for gorgeous gemstones and minerals, and their spiritual meanings. From a young age I was very emotionally in tune with others. It wasn’t until my young adult life that I recognised that I was an empath and developed a love and connection with meditation, yoga, astrology and crystals.

Growing up, my mum was very much interested in yoga, astrology and spirituality, so naturally, I also felt a calling towards it and before I knew it, I was a 15 year old practicing yoga and going into my local crystal shop to buy books on tarot, and spending all my pocket money on tumbled crystals like they were pick & mix!

During my ‘spiritual awakenings’, crystals have played a massive part in my journey and development. Having felt a calling towards healing others, and my appreciation towards crystals and their believed metaphysical properties, I wanted to share that love with others - and here we have Soleil Crystals!

I wanted to create a brand that reflected who I was and what I love, so I chose the Sun (Soleil) as I felt it represented happiness, passion and positivity whilst also encouraging growth and playing a huge part in astrology. Being a Leo, (a fire sign led by the sun) I also felt it connected my own essence to the brand.

Each one of the crystals listed on my website, or sold in person at one of the events we attend, is intuitively picked by myself from one of my few trusted suppliers around the world. I only pick the highest quality crystals that I trust are responsibly sourced. If a Crystal doesn’t feel right, I’ll tell my suppliers straight away, and they very kindly swap it until I find one that I feel a calling toward! Our crystal suppliers are based all around the world, in Asia, Brazil, Africa and even the UK.

I honestly feel so grateful to be sharing this journey with you all, and I hope you find something here on my website that you have a calling toward and create a long lasting relationship with - whether it be to support you in your daily practice, or even just to swoon over on your living room sideboard!

Happy crystal searching!

Maria xx
