To Our Valued Partners and Friends,

It is with a heartfelt mix of reflection and forward-looking optimism that we share our 2025 Impact Report. This past year marked a profound transition for our family and our company. It was our first full year navigating the business without the daily presence of our founder, John Sr., who we sadly lost in 2024. His spirit and passion for the earth’s treasures continue to guide every decision we make.

In a year of global upheaval, we focused on what has always been the heart of Exquisite Crystals: our relationships. We are incredibly proud to have reinforced our close partnerships with our suppliers and miners around the world. Like us, many are multi-generational, family-run businesses. These deep, trusted connections, some spanning decades, allow us to continue sourcing only the most exceptional and beautiful crystals.

By supporting these families who create positive change for their workers, communities, and the environment, we know that our own contributions come full circle. We feel so fortunate to have you with us on this journey. We are excited to continue sharing the most beautiful and ethically-sourced crystals with our cherished customers.

Thank you for being such a vital part of our story.

Our Partnerships

In April 2025, Friends of Trees reached an awesome milestone: 1 million trees and native plants. Since our founding in 1989, over 75,000 community volunteers have come together to make their neighborhoods a greener place by planting trees. Our celebratory millionth tree, like all of the trees and native shrubs we’ve planted, was planted the Friends of Trees Way, with the power of community.

Goals

Global Crystals to Local Impact

Our focus this year is local impact, and we are dedicated to making a positive difference in our beautiful community of Vancouver, WA.

Support Local Tree Planting with Friends of Trees
We are proud to announce our partnership with Friends of Trees, a local non-profit organization dedicated to planting trees in our community. Our goal this year is to sponsor new trees to be planted in urban areas throughout Vancouver. By increasing the number of trees in our community, we hope to improve air quality, provide shade, and enhance the beauty of our city.

Use Community Solar to Power Our Business
We are excited to be one of the first business members of Clark County community solar. With this program, we will be able to provide about 2/3 of our annual electricity usage with clean and renewable energy. Our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainability in our community.
