About Conscious Creators
Conscious Creators is a New Zealand shop selling genuine Moldavite, tektites, impact glass, carvings and jewellery. But really it's just me. My name's Nathan.
I didn't start this to build some polished business or make it look bigger than it is. It started because I found Moldavite when I was 21. It changed how I looked at life.
I don't remember the exact moment, just the feeling. Something woke up in me. A reminder that life wasn't just happening to me, that I was part of what I was creating too.
I reckon we're all conscious creators. What we focus on matters. What we keep avoiding matters just as much. Moldavite didn't fix my life, but it made me aware of what I couldn't keep ignoring anymore. Fear. Avoidance. Old habits. The ways I was distracting myself from the life I actually wanted.
Because of that, Moldavite's never felt like just something to sell. It's ancient impact glass, formed around 14.75 million years ago in the Ries impact event. These pieces are older than us by a long way. They've survived time, pressure and huge change before ever landing in our hands. That's worth respecting.
I don't like seeing Moldavite treated like a trend. Fake urgency, inflated prices, big claims that pressure people into buying before they're ready. Not my thing.
Before Conscious Creators I started the NZ Tektite Marketplace, trying to connect local collectors and push back against the crazy prices I was seeing online. It came from love and probably just wanting an excuse to be around more Moldavite. Then life slowed everything right down.
I had a brain injury and spent over a year in hospital and rehab. The online group lost its momentum while I was out. But recovery taught me something I needed to learn: there's no race. I used to act like there was.
When I came back to the idea, I didn't want to force the old version to work. I wanted something more honest, more patient, closer to who I'd actually become.
If something's right for someone, I trust they'll feel it. I don't need to force it.
I pick pieces to sell the same way I'd pick them for myself. If I look at a stone and think I'd love that, it feels right to offer it. And yeah, sometimes pieces end up in my own collection instead. That's just the truth.
Moldavite's rare, but I won't take advantage of people who are drawn to something meaningful. I keep my margins as low as I reasonably can. Probably not the smartest business move, but it's the only way this feels right to me.
I want this to be a place where you see the exact piece you're buying, know the real weight and get an honest description. I'll be here if you need me, but I'm not here to push or convince you.
Conscious Creators is just me trying to do this properly. Real pieces. Honest descriptions. No pretending it's something it's not. Take your time, ask your questions, trust your gut, enjoy the journey.
In resonance, Nathan
