How the magic happens.
Founder
Rachael James
Rachael james is the founder + owner of Wild | Alabaster. She is a homeschooling mama of four with a passion for earth magic and medicine. She started W | A out of a personal need to find affordable crystals that had been ethically sourced and had good energy. When she came up empty-handed, she decided to build her own and build it big enough for others to join, too.
Favorite Crystals: Ocean Jasper, Agate, Smokey Quartz, Sodalite, Rose Quartz, and Tourmaline!
Manager of Retail & Operations + Sound Practitioner
Alli
Alli and Rachael met through their love of fashion and crystals! Alli studied fashion marketing and management at SCAD and has built a career working with well-known brands designing, buying, merchandising, and retail management.
She started holding Crystal-Infused Sound Baths at the shop and as the business grew, Alli’s full-time role on the team manifested into place. Alli now manages the shop, grows operations, and is bringing this thriving startup to the next level.
When she’s not working, you can find her relaxing on her Charleston porch with her two fur babies while her boyfriend, Chris, smokes something amazing on the grill! Alli is also all about a good hat and pretty sounds. Being a Sound Practitioner, she uses sound healing daily to meditate, cleanse your W|A crystals, and lead Chakra Balancing Sound Baths in the shop.
Favorite Crystals: Rose + Smokey Quartz, Carnelian, Pink Opal, & Any Jasper!
