We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Tarasiuk and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The Crystal Nation came though as in a channeling I was doing with my energy team late in 2022… I have always loved crystals & was delighted when the invitation to work with them in a deeper capacity was extended. And who could say no to such amazing, and sparkly “bosses”…. I decided to leap into the crystal business and continue to be amazed and grateful to work with these amazing beings. It was terrifically exciting, traveling to Arizona in 2023 and seeing some of the biggest crystals I had ever laid eyes on, and I deeply look forward to returning to the show in 2025!

What should our readers know about your business?
I sell crystal & crystal related products, from gorgeous one of a kind specimens, to hand sewn Heart protectors, with a wee crystal tucked inside. I also do channeling with the crystals, hearing directly from the source what they want, how they can help and who they are. This part is one of my favorite parts of this work. Often, when folks rock up to my market table & ask, “Which crystal is good for (fill in the blank)?” I introduce them to communicating directly with the crystals, teach body dowsing (a way of getting a knowing, or felt sense) so they can learn to communicate via their intuition with the helpers around them.

The crystals are priced from 5 for $3 for agate peewees up to a $1000+ for the big mama amethyst torch (she’s longer than my forearm!!!) . For folks looking for crystal related channeling services the fee is $200 for a 90 minute channeling/energy work session.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If I was taking someone touring around my little mountain town in Nelson BC, Canada, I would go to the forest, but in Arizona I would go to the Churchill outdoor container market… it was one of the coolest things, aside from crystals, that I experienced in Arizona. https://familydestinationsguide.com/the-churchill-market-arizona/
