About Us

Founded in 2023, Cats Love Crystals is an independent Melbourne-based store specialising in mineral specimens, crystal jewellery and home decor.

With a background in applied sciences, Michelle helps collectors understand what makes each specimen unique by explaining the natural science behind them rather than simply listing technical features.

Alongside science, Michelle draws on a strong interest in art, fashion and interior design. Guided by experiencing tactile hyperphantasia and visual-tactile synesthesia, where vivid mental imagery and touch are connected, this unique process ensures every piece chosen for you is based on its geological significance and how it complements the colour, texture, energy and visual balance of a living space.

Whether you're a long-time collector or drawn to beautiful objects, Cats Love Crystals makes mineral collecting approachable by sharing the stories behind how each piece formed and how it can be displayed. Every specimen is offered at a considered price, with a focus on authenticity, quality and long-term value.
