I started Midnight Native Crystal Boutique in 2020, during the chaos and uncertainty of COVID. Like a lot of people I ended up furloughed from my job and was looking for something else to find joy in during the months that followed. In September I made my yearly trip to the Denver gem & mineral show and picked up a few small lodolite stones. I was mesmerized but wasn’t sure what to do with them. I decided to head to Youtube to learn how to wire wrap crystals. That was the start of my journey and it’s still going strong years later. I’ve been so lucky to have supportive friends, family, and customers and have grown my wire wrapping skills and styles.

Naming a business is a whole other ordeal. Anything you can think of has probably taken x 10. I’ve spent most of my life struggling with daily 9-5 jobs, and have always felt the most creative and productive in the evenings. Is it possible for humans to be nocturnal? (I think so haha). Creating flowed so easily in the quiet midnight hours. Eventually, after hours of name ideas already being taken I thought of how I felt Native to midnight, and Midnight Native clicked!

I’ve grown my business to include online and in person sales, and I love meeting and chatting with customers in person. Wherever you are, or however you buy, know that I am grateful for your love and support. I wouldn’t have made it this far without all of you. Thank you!
