About Conscious Creators

Conscious Creators is a small shop at 3/60 Birkdale Road in Birkdale, on Auckland's North Shore, run by its owner, Nathan. The website says it sells genuine Moldavite, tektites, impact glass, carvings and jewellery. It describes Moldavite as impact glass formed about 14.75 million years ago in the Ries impact event, and explains that tektites are natural glass formed when an asteroid or comet impact melts rock. Each piece is photographed on its own, so the buyer sees the exact piece. The website lists the weight, condition and details of each one, and its locality where known. A guide on what to expect is offered for new buyers.

Reviewers describe the owner as patient, interactive and passionate. They say the shop has a range of Moldavite and Libyan Desert Glass pieces, which can be hard to choose from. One reviewer took a while to choose a first piece, and is very happy with it. Another describes a Moldavite piece as beautiful and authentic. Reviewers mention pendants and tektites most often.
