Where are materials sourced from?

Katya's #1 goal is to source and purchase as many materials as she can from the local area in California and the USA. Most of the gemstones, crystals and metal componants are purchased from distributors inside the USA, however, some of those distributors do import their materials from around the world. Katya also has two direct sources from India and Brazil for crystals and gemstones and only orders from businesses that indicate fair labor practices.
