About
Welcome to Crystals by Ash!
My name is Ash Marx and I have a passion for mineralogy, gemology and geology, alongside a deep appreciation for how beautiful some of earth's finest offerings truly are. I work hard to source unique products, without overlooking the classics, so that I can provide as much of a variety as possible. I'm happy to answer any questions at any time, and love talking about crystals to anyone who will listen. Outside of crystals, I am a writer, which brings me an immense amount of creative fulfillment every single day. Deep down, I feel that we're all a bit creative, and selling crystals provides me with an opportunity to indulge in all of the beauty beneath the ground we walk on, alongside working and connecting people with their dream gems.

If you're here for the gemstones, you've stumbled across my soulmate, Jacob West. Since I'm the writer between the two of us, I'm taking the liberty to write a short bio on his behalf (because he'd never say all of these incredible things about himself.) Not only is he one of the most incredibly genius minds on the planet, but he cares deeply about the precision and excellence of his craft. Creating gemstones isn't a simple matter. It's a lot like math, combined with geological science, combined with knowledge of what looks great and what doesn't. If you're in search of an artisan crafted gemstone for a jewelry piece or even just to add to your collection, you've come across one of the most hidden gems in the US by finding his work. He offers extremely reasonable prices on the most thoughtful and skillfully designed faceted stones you'll be able to find. Each one is done by hand, and hours of his time and precision are spent on every piece. He's happy to accept customs and will go through great lengths to source the gem your heart is set on. You won't find better than him. Follow him on TikTok where he often shows the process of creating his beautiful pieces: tiktok.com/@stoneofjacob
We live in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where many people travel from all over the world for our city's abundant quartz deposits and of course, the legendary thermal springs said to bring healing to anyone who touches their waters. We do what we love and love what we do, and are so happy that you found Crystals by Ash. Your support & interest mean the world to both Jake and I.
