Faceted or natural crystals

Cristal du Lac is a Quebec company that specializes in the artisanal extraction of quartz crystal. It is in our open pit deposit that the team of experienced prospectors carefully selects and routes the stones according to their quality for different needs.

The whole extraction process is done using traditional methods that respect both the crystals and the environment.
