Crystal Angels
Crystal angels are guardian figurines hand-carved from genuine natural gemstones — rose quartz, tiger eye, pink opal, yellow jade, red jasper and opalite among them. Because every stone forms with its own colours and markings, no two figures are identical. They sit beautifully on a shelf, desk or bedside table and make a thoughtful keepsake gift, with prices from £49.95.
Matching the Stone to the Person
Each angel takes its character from the gemstone it is carved from. Rose quartz, in soft blush pink, is traditionally associated with love and compassion; tiger eye, with its golden banding, with confidence. Pink opal is gentle and muted, yellow jade warm and buttery, red jasper rich and earthy, and opalite carries a soft iridescent glow that shifts in the light. Choose by meaning, or simply by the colour that suits their home.
Hand-Carved, Never Moulded
These guardian figurines are individually hand-carved from genuine natural gemstone — not cast from resin or pressed stone powder. The mineral's own veining, banding and colour zones decide each angel's final appearance, which is why no two figures are identical even within the same stone. From £49.95, you are buying a small one-off carving rather than a mass-produced ornament.
When to Give a Crystal Angel
Angel figurines are a long-standing comfort and remembrance gesture: given in sympathy, in memory of a loved one, for a christening or a new baby, or as thanks to someone who has quietly watched over you — a grandmother, a godparent, a mentor. If you are putting together a remembrance gift, a piece from our remembrance necklaces pairs naturally with an angel to keep at home.
Displaying Natural Stone at Home
An angel sits comfortably on a bedside table, bookshelf, mantel or desk. Group one with a crystal tree for a small natural-stone display, or browse the wider crystal collection for companion pieces. Vary the stone colours in a grouping — the contrast between blush rose quartz and golden tiger eye is what makes a shelf arrangement sing.
Caring for Carved Gemstone
Dust with a soft, dry cloth and handle your angel over a soft surface, as natural stone can chip if dropped onto a hard floor. Keep strongly coloured stones such as rose quartz out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve their tone, and the carving will look exactly as it does today for decades.
Frequently asked questions
Which gemstones are the crystal angels carved from?
Current stones include rose quartz, tiger eye, pink opal, yellow jade, red jasper and opalite. Each figure is hand-carved from genuine natural gemstone, so colours and markings vary from piece to piece.
Is a crystal angel an appropriate sympathy gift?
Yes — angel figurines are a long-standing comfort and remembrance gesture, given in sympathy, in memory of a loved one, or to someone facing a difficult season. Because each carving is unique, the gift feels genuinely personal.
Will my angel look exactly like the photo?
The carved shape will match, but the stone will not be identical. Natural veining, banding and colour zones differ in every gemstone, so each angel is one of a kind.
How do I care for a carved gemstone figure?
Dust it with a soft, dry cloth and handle it over a soft surface, as natural stone can chip if dropped. Keep strongly coloured stones out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve their tone.
