In this video, we take you through the unique process of cleaning beautiful, rare quartz crystals from Mozambique! These quartz plates include stunning goethite-included quartz, smoky quartz, and amethyst. We start by carefully cleaning off the dirt from the crystals before packing them gently into a 100-liter drum to avoid any damage. The drum is filled with water, then we add about one and a half cups of granulated oxalic acid, which will help dissolve the iron oxide stains. Once the crystals are packed and submerged, we secure the lid and place the drum over an open fire. As the water heats, the oxalic acid works to transform the iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) into a more soluble form (FeO₄). After several hours of boiling, we pressure-wash the crystals to reveal their natural, vibrant colors. This video captures how we prepared and packed the drum, and heated it to boiling. Stay tuned for the final reveal of these brilliantly cleaned crystals!

Never encountered this before, the spirit of infirmity that bound up Grace for the past ten years left through her hand. It travelled from the shoulder down the arm and left though her hand. God is amazing I just stopped this elderly lady before she could get to her car. Why did I stop her. She was walking with a cane and this was the day of her miracle. I then asked permission to pray for her and she got instant relief after Jesus healed her from pain that has kept her bound for ten years. I give God all the glory.

Goethite included quartz from Mozambique, the expectations are high but it ends up to be a mixed bag. There are very few vibrant purple pieces. Some amethyst plates are damaged. The packaging was not sufficient. I had such great hopes for this locality but are again disappointed. Yes it is extra stock for the shop and we are the only ones who have this specific kind in our shop in South Africa, but the question we must ask is how long will this take to sell? This is the stone business and thank you for following us and watching. We have consignments from China coming next week. Much needed stock. We are improving this business one action at a time to again be the preferred wholesaler of crystals for people who resell crystals

Lesedi had been suffering with chronic pain for two years. God led me to her house and this was the day for her miracle. She had these sad eyes and could not make eye contact with me. She was so down but God heard her prayers and send me to the their place to pray for her. Jesus is so faithful, he healed her and also touched the rest of the family.

In this week’s vlog, we’re unveiling something truly special! Join me for the grand reveal of the stone cages at The Rockshop, showcasing a vibrant collection of beautiful stones including rose quartz, honey agate, tiger’s eye, aventurine, blue sodalite, and chevron amethyst. It's a feast for the eyes, especially with the bougainvillea in full bloom, creating a stunning backdrop. However, the Jacaranda tree is shedding its purple flowers, which keeps us busy with clean-up! Aside from the stone reveal, I’m excited to share my ongoing art project—I'm painting a scene of four ladies working in a sugar cane field in Mauritius and just completed five small canvases. These pieces have dark backgrounds with a splash of color, part of a new universal style I’m experimenting with that I hope will be popular and easy to reproduce. We also dive into the final sorting of the latest consignment from Malawi, featuring smoky quartz with feldspar and aegerine. I even cut a few stones to disp...

In this video, we complete the epic project of installing the stone cages and stands in the parking area of The Rockshop at Hartbeespoort. It’s been quite a job, but the results are fantastic! We start by leveling long steel beams and welding them in place to create a sturdy base. Then, we attach the metal cages that we built in a previous video. These cages have a floating effect, making the display even more striking! Each cage is filled with a different type of stone, creating a colorful feast for the eyes. From pink rose quartz and red jasper to dual-color fluorite, tiger's eye, green aventurine, and orange carnelian, there’s something for every stone lover. To add even more flair, we placed small platforms between the cages, filled with sparkling spirit quartz. The new setup is a fantastic addition to the shop, making the stone collection more vibrant and accessible than ever before. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the old cement containers on the ground, but this new arrange...
