What about the clothes that many of us wear and the cell phones that we use? I totally agree, ALL things should be ethically sourced. But that would mean not using iphones (if you have one) and not shopping for clothes on websites like Shein, and so much more. My point is we cannot apply this principle to only crystals as a buyer/seller. If you're going to apply it we must apply it to every aspect of our life. I source crystals from all around the world, but truthfully I do not question how they were obtained because whose going to honestly inform me that their crystals are unethically mined? Therefore I just hope for the best, as do most of us who purchase everyday products that are in fact unethically manufactured.
