About Us

Barbara Francesca

My passion for crystal began early in life. I remember playing in the woods behind my childhood home and collecting all kinds of heart-shaped stones, this is how my rock collection started and I still have a few hearts after more than thirty years.

Growing up, travelling the world, I was always fascinated by local crystals and gems, appreciating the stunning colour of Australian opals, the deep purple of Brazilian amethysts and the flamboyant beauty of Indian gems, among many others.

In 2021, I decide to turn my passion for crystal into a business. I create Laksmi Crystal, an online store selling high-quality and ethically sourced crystals and minerals from all around the world. I wanted to be able to source the stones myself and share them with those seeking an alternative healing approach or just a beautiful cluster for their home. Since  that time, my fascination with crystals has developed into a full-time career and I now connect people all over the world with these powerfull healing tools.

The world of crystals and minerals became such an important part of my life that I started dreaming of a mineral-based cosmetics line to make the energy of crystals a daily ritual, just like Cleopatra who combined gems in her beauty routine. It was only thanks to the collaboration with my crystal therapy teacher, Caterina Grazzini, who created the displays in each Albagems ritual that my dream of spreading crystal therapy in spas began to become a reality.

Harnessing the energy of the Earth, crystals bring balance, harmony and a sense of peace. For me, they are a catalyst for living a healthier and happier life. They encourage mindfulness and help me feel more grounded and connected to nature. Whether you use them in meditation, wellness rituals, beauty routines or simply keep them in your home as decoration, crystals will provide you with a direct connection to yourself and your surroundings.

My love of books and writing led me to graduate in Literature and Philosophy. When I already had a doctorate within reach, I completely changed course and enrolled in Naturopathy, specialising in Phytotherapy. At the same time, my spiritual journey began with activation at the first level of Reiki. My desire to investigate energy movements has been a driving force, the source of many journeys and explorations.

Fortunately, it has not yet died out and I hope it never will. I became a Reiki Master and Karuna Reiki; I studied Aura Soma for years; I graduated in Osho Prana Healing at the Olos Academy, after a journey of three long years; I studied Radionics and Radiesthesia; Subtle Body Healing, shamanism, numerology, metamorphics, EFT….I could go on listing but it would make little sense. There has been a soundtrack that has accompanied this journey: the Crystals. From my first contact with the stones and quartz, a light went on in me. It was as if my eyes had been opened for the first time. I started looking around, trying to understand who these extraordinary and fascinating creatures really were. I set out in search of answers.

I went to many Academies around the world, I learnt a lot about crystals. But not enough… I knew there was so much more, which was not being revealed. And even though I asked, no one would answer me.

Working for four years with Devageet, who was Osho’s dentist for a lifetime, opened the way for me. I found the keys to the house, inside me. Devageet taught me how to connect, I started listening by moving away from a logical mind and opening my heart.

What I teach about the Mineral Realm is the result of my personal communication with them, which happens daily and has lasted for twenty years.

My life’s work up to this point is completed through Sound. Another extraordinary immersion. Not music. Sound. When I first encountered the Crystal Bells in 2004, I was listening, enraptured. It took me a long time to realise that we had met and chosen.

In the centre of my mandala are Quartz Singing Bowl, Alchemical Bowls, Tibetan Bowls, Quartz and Stones, and a wonderful silence.

All around, everything else dancing and moving.

My personal research and studies continue every day; in fact, they are one and the same.

By ethical choice, I only share with others through teaching what is most authentic and true to me and which floods me with love: that which lies at the heart of the mandala.

That is, the ancient art of placing stones, in the School of Crystal Therapy, and the sound of the Crystal, in the Crystal Sound Academy.

Mouji is the name Osho gave me in 2006. It means ‘joyful, living in tune with the heart’.

“In tune” in English is a term used in the language of music. Considering that crystals and stones whisper eternal melodies, and that they also now live in many musical instruments, it seems significant to me.

It still surprises me to see how, from the very beginning, everything was already so clear and simple.
