A Natural Living Store, Crystal Life Technology, Inc. is located West of Chicago in historic downtown Geneva, IL.

Crystal Life provides Products with Purpose® and operates from the core belief that when we work in harmony with our natural environment – everyone benefits.

In our store and at our website, Crystal Life provides you with an extensive collection of products and services whose unifying theme is cooperation with nature for mutual well-being.

Crystal Life is the hub of a wheel of healthy options that range from products to services and clubs. Our staff consists of energy workers trained in a variety of alternative modalities. Each one of us is available to assist you in selecting the right option for your current need.

Crystal Life’s products include mineral specimens, crystal healing stones and jewelry, energy tools from runes to pendulums, musically attuned windchimes, sacred image and gemstone statues, cleansing supplies such as salt lamps, incense and smudge wands, nature spirit cards, informative books and soothing CDs.

Our services include free Saturday morning classes on subtle energy topics. We also founded and support two groups for learning and socializing – ISIC (The Institute for the Study of Interdimensional Cooperation) and Blue Papaya (for youth with extended perceptions).

You can learn more about these events and groups on our website, and connect with us via Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Our Origins

Crystal Life was founded by Atala Dorothy Toy, whose career has focused on communication and consciousness.

In 1996, following a life-threatening bout of environmental illness, Atala left her job at the United Nations in New York City and started Crystal Life Technology, Inc. She wanted to provide tools and products for a public increasingly isolated from nature’s healing processes due to the irresponsible growth of modern technology.

Atala spent the next decade traveling the national body/mind/spirit circuit. She led workshops, wrote books and sold subtle energy products – including her own award-winning designs – both at shows and on the web. Crystal-life.com is one of the original and oldest of the internet holistic sites.

In 2003, Atala was asked by spirit to stop traveling, settle down in Illinois’ gentle Fox River Valley, and open a store that would be of service to the aware and awakening public who want healthy living options.

Our Focus

Crystal Life’s core theme is service. Finding natural solutions for our customers’ energetic needs is the reason we have chosen every product in our subtle energy boutique.

Crystal Life’s healthy living “helper tools” are products, jewelry and services that assist the user to accomplish some specific purpose or function.

Whether the customer’s desire is to look beautiful naturally, correct energy imbalances, find the perfect gift, or socialize with like-minded people – Crystal Life provides options.

These products and services do not do the work for you—they support you as you work to determine how you personally wish to handle your current focus. We help you locate a solution for a naturally healthy way to proceed, stabilize, clear and strengthen the healthy energy you want to establish in your life.

Many customers comment on the extraordinary peace and well-being they feel when entering our store. This positive energy comes from the inherent energy of the products themselves, and the focus on positive service by our expert energy staff. We serve your needs by regularly clearing the energy in our store and products via various protocols. Ask us how we do this; we are happy to share our methods.

Our Award-Winning Products

Crystal Life hand-selects every product we provide, including hundreds of mineral specimens selected for their specific energetic properties. There are products based on ancient sacred technologies that connect to the core spirit of the universe, such as sacred geometry, ritual products and sacred images of guides and guardians.

Many of our products are our own design. Our own designs include all the Resonance® Jewelry with Purpose® items you see – pendants, gemstone jewelry, energy jewelry and prayer beads. We handcraft these Products with Purpose® right here in the Fox River Valley.

Our outstanding crafters focus on providing highly energized products. We have been nationally recognized for our work, several of our jewelry designs, and our website, winning awards from COVR – the Coalition of Visionary Resources.

We recommend you maintain the high energy of your purchases by regularly cleansing and energizing your stones and jewelry. This enables these real, conscious life forms to have the strength to continue helping you! The variety of cleansing and energizing options include salt lamps, incense, smudge sticks, pendulums, cleansing mineral specimens, resonant ceramics and sacred geometry life force energy tools.

One of our newer lines is Atala’s award-winning Crystal Life® nature spirit photographs and cards. Many of the images are portrait studies of real life forms who have manifested in rocks and trees, and these include gnomes, elves, greenmen and greenwomen. We also carry two books by Atala – We are Not Alone: A Guidebook for Interdimensional

Cooperation; and Nature Spirits, Spirit Guides and Ghosts: How to Talk With and Photograph Life Forms of Other Realms.
