"I think it only natural that we be attracted to and fascinated by the earth and its many artistic expressions.  Figuratively speaking, it is the Mother from which all living things arise and to whose arms all eventually return.  It is the foundation of our physical existence and is flush with the universal energy from our grand creator that gives each of us life."  Jerry Griffin - Owner, Real Earth Creations

Real Earth Creations' Rock Shop was founded in 2014, but stems from a lifelong fascination with the natural beauty that emanates from our home, the earth.  Of all the possibilities, rocks and minerals resonated most loudly with us and are at this time, the sole theme of our online store.  We do, however, offer some other items from our physical store in Mount Ida, Arkansas. 

My wife and I work as a team to collect and procure both natural and hand crafted materials that can be displayed on their own, incorporated into jewelry pieces (most of which we craft ourselves), or used as aids in metaphysical and energy work. 

Our materials come from all over the world, starting with those that are available right here in Mount Ida (e.g. Quartz crystal).  Some of these we collect ourselves and others we buy from miners, other collectors, trade-craft, and vendors.  Regardless of source and in addition to any other preparatory process, every product is cleansed before it is offered for sale.  Because some of our materials may pass through many hands before we acquire them, we take this matter seriously so not to pass on to you anything other than the positive energy present in them from their natural place of origin.
