Elemental Luxe is a spiritual haven located in Queanbeyan, offering a beautifully curated range of products designed to support spiritual and healing journeys. The store features crystals in various shapes, sizes, and forms, along with handmade jewellery, candles, incense, books, and tarot cards.
The inspiration behind Elemental Luxe comes from founder Melissa, who worked in the scientific field for almost a decade before realizing her passion for that career was fading and she no longer felt aligned with that path.
It was also during this time that the passing of someone close led her to crystals as a form of comfort and healing. This experience sparked her passion and admiration for crystals, leading her on the path to create a space where others could experience similar benefits and embark on their own spiritual and healing journeys.
Prior to opening Elemental Luxe, Melissa had always been mesmerized by crystals from an aesthetic perspective. However, her understanding and appreciation of these gifts from Mother Earth deepened as she experienced their healing benefits firsthand. Melissa is proud of the beautiful space she has created at Elemental Luxe, showcasing the natural beauty and healing properties of crystals.
Melissa has lived in the Queanbeyan area for nearly 20 years, making it a natural choice for her to establish Elemental Luxe when the perfect little space became available. The local community has provided amazing feedback and support, which has been incredibly encouraging.
Melissa envisions expanding the store in the future to a larger space where workshops, readings, healings, and other spiritual modalities can be facilitated. She would still love to remain in the Queanbeyan area and is waiting for the perfect space to arise.
Elemental Luxe sources its crystals from all over the world, working closely with small family businesses. These trusted relationships have been built over years of trial and error, ensuring that Elemental Luxe offers unique and impressive pieces from trusted sources.
Melissa is proud of the connections she has established with her suppliers and values the opportunity to support small family businesses and communities globally.
Elemental Luxe aims to stock a wide variety of crystals to cater to all budgets. The store offers a large range of smaller, more affordable crystals, such as tumble stones and roughs, as well as larger, statement pieces.
Her personal journey with crystal healing is still quite new and evolving. Initially attracted to crystals purely for their aesthetics, she now has a much deeper appreciation for their powerful healing benefits.
Melissa continues to be in awe of just how transformative and beneficial these unique gifts from Mother Earth can be. Tapping into her spiritual side and learning to trust her intuition has been a significant and transformative process for Melissa.
She has found that self-reflection, practicing gratitude, meditation, and journaling have been extremely empowering and have played a crucial role in her journey thus far. Melissa emphasizes that there are many amazing books and resources readily available that provide excellent prompts and guidance to help shift perspectives and elevate awareness.
When asked about her favorite crystals, Melissa finds it hard to narrow it down but lists her top three favorites as:
PINK AMETHYST
This beautiful crystal resonates with the heart and is great for emotional healing, self-acceptance, and calming. Melissa finds it particularly useful during meditation and tends to gravitate towards it when feeling overwhelmed.
CITRINE
Citrine is a gorgeous crystal known for its properties of abundance, prosperity, and happiness. It is great for motivation and creativity, and Melissa tends to be drawn to it when she needs an emotional pick-me-up or when starting a new project.
PYRITE
Pyrite is another beautiful crystal that is all about abundance, wealth, and prosperity. Melissa loves working with pyrite for goal setting, manifesting, and boosting self-confidence.
Melissa advises choosing crystals based on intuition and what one feels drawn to, as this can guide individuals to the crystals that will be most beneficial for them.
Elemental Luxe also offers a wide range of tarot cards, appealing to both beginners and experienced readers. Although Melissa is not yet an expert in tarot, she is slowly developing her tarot reading skills and delving into the art of reading.
As a beginner, she finds tarot decks that include guidebooks or cards with keywords to be extremely helpful. These resources aid in understanding the meanings behind each card and piecing together the story within each tarot spread.
Melissa’s absolute favorite deck at the moment is the Dreamy Moons Tarot by Annie Tarasova. She describes it as truly divine, with its beautiful colors, gold foiling, and overall aesthetic.
The guidebook that accompanies this deck is fantastic for beginners, as it provides clear definitions of each card’s meaning and helps build trust in one’s own intuition and interpretation. Melissa also mentions that there are many great resources and in-depth books available that delve into the meanings of each card, but like all new skills, mastering tarot reading takes practice.
Melissa advises anyone just starting out on their spiritual journey to keep an open mind, utilize the many resources and modalities available, and find what resonates most with them to help move forward.
She acknowledges that it is a lifelong journey but encourages others to embrace the process and explore the various tools and practices that can support their spiritual growth.
The store’s carefully curated products and Melissa’s personal journey and passion for crystal healing make Elemental Luxe a unique and enriching destination for anyone interested in exploring their spiritual side.
The future holds exciting possibilities for Elemental Luxe, as Melissa aims to expand and offer even more to the local community and beyond.
