About Conscious Creators

Conscious Creators is a New Zealand based shop focused on genuine Moldavite, tektites, impact glass, carvings and jewellery.
 

But really, Conscious Creators is just me.

My name is Nathan. This didn’t start because I wanted to build some polished business or make it look bigger than it is. It started because I found Moldavite when I was 21 and it changed the way I looked at life.

I don’t remember the exact moment perfectly. I just remember the feeling. It felt like something woke up in me. Like I was being reminded that life wasn’t just happening to me. I was part of what I was creating too.

That idea stuck with me.

To me, we’re all conscious creators in some way. What we focus on matters. What we keep avoiding matters too. The same patterns keep showing up until we finally decide to look at them properly.

Moldavite didn’t magically fix my life. I don’t see it like that. But it did make me more aware of what I couldn’t keep ignoring. Fear. Avoidance. Old habits. The ways I was distracting myself from the life I actually wanted.

That’s why Moldavite has never felt like just something to sell.

It’s ancient impact glass, formed around 14.75 million years ago through the Ries impact event. These pieces are far older than us. They’ve been through time, pressure and change before ever ending up in someone’s hands. I feel like that deserves respect.

I don’t like seeing Moldavite treated like a trend. I don’t like fake urgency, crazy prices or overhyped claims that make people feel like they need to buy something before they’re actually ready.

That’s never been what this is about for me.

When I built Conscious Creators, I wanted it to feel like the kind of place I’d want to buy from myself. I wanted people to see the exact piece they’re buying, know the real weight, read an honest description and feel like they can take their time.

If something is right for someone, I trust they’ll feel that. I don’t need to force it.

Before Conscious Creators, I started NZ Tektite Marketplace. I wanted to create a space for people in New Zealand who felt the same pull toward Moldavite and tektites. At the time, there weren’t many places here that really felt connected to it. I was also seeing prices that honestly felt crazy to me. That never sat right.

So I jumped in.

Part of it was purpose. Part of it was love. Part of it was probably just wanting an excuse to be around more Moldavite than I needed.

Then life slowed everything down.

I went through a brain injury and spent over a year in hospital and brain rehab. During that time, the group lost momentum. The reach faded. Everything changed. But the love for this never left.

Recovery taught me something I probably needed to learn anyway. There’s no race, even though for a long time I acted like there was.

When I came back to this, I didn’t want to force the old thing to work again. I just knew I still cared about it. I wanted to build something more honest, more patient and more aligned with who I’d become.

I choose pieces the same way I’d choose for myself. If I look at one and think, I’d love that, then it feels right to offer. Sometimes something arrives and I end up keeping it for my own collection for a while because I feel too connected to let it go straight away.

That’s just the truth of it.

Price matters to me too. I know Moldavite is rare. I know the market has changed. But I don’t want people to feel like they’ve been taken advantage of just because they felt drawn to something meaningful.

So I keep my margins as low as I reasonably can.

Not because it’s the smartest business move. It probably isn’t. But it’s the only way this feels right to me.

My approach is simple. I’ll be here if you need me. I’m not here to push, pressure or convince you that something is meant for you.

I want people to feel comfortable here. I want them to feel like they can ask questions, take their time and trust that what they’re looking at is real.

Selling fake or overpriced pieces doesn’t sit right with me, especially when these pieces are millions of years older than us.

Conscious Creators is just me trying to do this properly.

Real pieces. Honest descriptions. No pretending it’s something it’s not.

In Resonance, Nathan
