About Us
Welcome to River Walkers Minerals!
This company was founded by Jessica (AKA Nesta) back in January of 2023. Nesta has been a long-time collector for around 25 years!
It all started on a summer-long RV trip her family took out west when she was around 7 years old. They worked with scientists to dig up real dinosaur bones in Montana. She was published in a science magazine for finding a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth! Nesta also spent many childhood summers up in Charlevoix, Michigan where she would collect Petoskey stones by the bucket-load. These fond memories (among many others) really sparked her love for geology and archaeology which, over the years, has morphed into River Walkers Minerals.
Nesta has worked day and night to find reputable, ethical sources for all of her minerals. She works with sellers from many different countries, always hand-picking the best of the best. You can rest assured that every single piece you see listed on this website has been thoroughly examined by Nesta for quality and unique attributes.
You can find Nesta and Poet (her husband) at in-person shows, too! Check out “Events” page to find all upcoming shows.
River Walkers Minerals strives on the fact that we will never carry any mineral that is man-altered, (lab created, heat-treated, dyed, etc). Very rarely do we buy polished minerals, however on occasion we find some fantastic polished pieces that we just can’t pass up! *This information will be disclosed of in the listing.
Nesta comes from a family who has always been fascinated by antiques and artifacts. Her love for these came later in life, and started with Native American arrowheads. Over the years it has molded into what it is today- and continues to grow and change with time. Each artifact has hours upon hours of research done before hand-picking them.
Let customers speak for us
A very solid, calming energy. I’ve never seen anything quite like this — I could look at it all day and keep finding new things.
The gift recipient loved it. I thought it was a beautiful piece. Thanks.
We received wonderful customer service! Quick response time, great packaging, beautiful mineral specimen. Jessica even went above and beyond, out of her way to accommodate special shipping needs for us. Even included small gifts in our package. She seems to be a very kind hearted business owner whom I look forward to supporting and buying from again in the near future! Thanks River Walker Minerals!
This piece is absolutely breathtaking! It arrived carefully packed and in perfect condition. Customer service is fast and friendly. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
Words cannot begin to describe how gorgeous this pink lithium quartz piece is. She is now a centerpiece in our living room. The quality is incredible and she arrived quickly, packaged perfectly. Thank you for bringing these rare beauties to us!
My latest order is an amethyst piece. The pictures did it no justice. As always I’m extremely happy with it! Jessica has the best quality. Not only is the piece exquisite but the price was extremely friendly. I also have to mention that her “extra” she gives, I think they are the cutest!!!they may be little but they’re always beautiful as well!
High quality gorgeous unique pieces! I love everything I’ve ever bought ! Highly recommended! Collectors pieces for sure!
Would absolutely buy from again! Extremely kind, responsive, and helpful with questions. The piece I ordered is exactly as pictured and STUNNING! Highly recommend!
I’ve been dealing with Jessica now for about a year and she is just very knowledgeable and friendly. The quality of the merchandise she sells is fantastic and customer service is amazing.
Here are a few of the beauties I have purchased from River Walkers Minerals over the past year. Jessica is a delight, the crystals are of incredible quality and the prices fair. This is one of my favorite places to shop for exceptional crystals.
I've dealt with so many different kinds of sellers out there. Most aren't as compassionate or patient. She allows you to do payment plans so you can afford dream stones! She gives you updates often and comes off as very friendly and caring of her customers. I cannot thank her enough, but I can say that I'd buy from her again! Very beautiful, well packaged and cared for specimens! Not one of them had a scratch on them!
I was so happy getting this. Everything I buy here is alway amazing and the care that goes into wrapping the stones.
This is a beautiful piece of amethyst. I will be back.
