About Us

Cats Love Crystals specialises in rare mineral specimens, crystal jewellery and home décor. Founded in Melbourne in 2023, we ship worldwide.

With a background in applied sciences, Michelle enjoys exploring the natural science behind minerals and sharing what makes each specimen interesting. By explaining geological processes, mineral associations and formation rather than simply listing technical features, the aim is to help collectors better understand and appreciate the pieces they own.

Every specimen is chosen because something about it stands out, whether that's exceptional colour, mineral structure, natural patterning or sculptural form.

Alongside geology, the collection is influenced by a long-standing interest in art, fashion and interior design. Michelle's visual-tactile synesthesia and tactile hyperphantasia shape the way she experiences colour, texture and form, helping create a collection that feels equally at home in a mineral cabinet or as part of a thoughtfully designed living space.

Whether you're a long-time collector or simply drawn to beautiful natural 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.
