iNWARDGAZE, individual natural mineral specimens + crystals, hand-picked for you. Quartz crystals,Moldavite...

Welcome, dear unknown friend.

If you are visiting for the first time, inwardgaze.com is a website managed by me (Luke Chen). I live in Singapore and have been collecting and trading crystals since 2004. I like natural quartz pieces with interesting inclusions so you will find a number of these here.

If you have visited before, you will notice that the site is wearing a new coat. I have simplified the layout to facilitate more regular updates, and as usual, if you are looking for something specific which you can't find here, just drop me an email to inquire. Thank you also for being one of 20,000 unique visitors since the site was started.

To place your order, drop an email to sales@inwardgaze.com indicating which pieces you like and your shipping address. I will inform you shortly if they are available and the total amount including registered airmail shipping and discounts (depending on your total order amount). All prices are in US Dollars and payment can be made through paypal. If you are not happy with any of your purchase, just drop me a note within 7 days of item receipt and I will gladly refund the price of the stone minus shipping costs after I get it back from you.

If you live in Singapore, you may also like to check out some used books for sale (some of them at half price or lower). You can find them on ebay singapore by clicking here. I can also ship these books overseas but shipping costs might be high.

Peace and Happiness to you,

Orange River Quartz
Coming soon...

Tibetan Quartz (Tibet)
I hand picked most of these stones from a large tray in 2006 from a local supplier who sourced them from China. All of them are double-terminated, some of them have herkimer-like luster, many have black carbon inclusions, some come with orange hematite stains, a couple with enhydros and even one with a skeletal interior - there's a stone for everyone.

Prasem (Green Hedenbergite Quartz) (Seriphos Island, Greece)
This is one of my favorite stones. I love their gradual gradient of colors which conjures a natural blend of sea and grass. I find them quite mystical looking. Single points are uncommon...clusters are even harder to come by. More of these stones and pictures coming soon.

Brandberg Quartz (from the Brandberg, Erongo Mountains, Namibia)
Like many, I got drawn to quartz from this area for their colorful inclusions swirling within their clear and sharp quartz bodies. Sometimes, when we are lucky, we get treated by enhydro inclusions as well. A feast from Nature!

Moldavites (from the Moldau Valley, Czech Republic)
This is one of the stones which I had a "love at first sight" experience. A wee bit of mystery, a dash of green, a fragment from the heavens, hold it in your hands. I acquired these pieces directly from suppliers living in Czech Republic from 2004 to 2006.
