$19.20 $24.00



This listing is for ONE of the crystals pictured here. A HanaqPacha exclusive! We are very proud and excited to offer these very special "Grandfather" Cactus crystals, custom-made exclusively for HanaqPacha. These crystals, hand-carved from Serpentine, Aventurine and Jade, represent the Grandfather Medicine that is revered and used in healing in the Andean Shamanic traditions, and one of the most powerful plant medicines in Peruvian Shamanism. This listing is for ONE of the crystals pictured.


ABOUT THESE CRYSTALS
Exquisite quality, vibrant color and expert craftsmanship, each crystal is hand-carved and detailed. As they are hand-carved, each one is entirely unique. These crystals can be hand-held, or used on crystal grids, mesas or altars to represent this powerful "Abuelito" spirit during ceremony or meditation. They are an ideal size for wrapping into pendants, and the bottoms are flat so they will sit upright, as well.

Simply select your preference of either Jade (darker green/slightly translucent), Aventurine (light green, slightly waxy appearance, mildly translucent), or Serpentine (light, marbled, milky green/opaque). You will receive ONE crystal of this variety. It will not be the exact crystal pictured, but one like it.


MEASUREMENTS
Each crystal measures approximately 2" - 2.25" long and .75" wide at base.

Please remember each crystal is carved by hand and may have slight variations to size, width, etc.

***We also have larger sizes available in a separate listing within our store.***
_____________________

JADE
Jade is a Heart Chakra stone that is most valued for its metaphysical properties. It is first and foremost a crystal of love, supporting new love, self-love and fidelity. It is also a powerful "dream stone," facilitating access into the spirit world, and also removing self-imposed limitations, enabling us to manifest our desires. Jade is a cherished protective talisman, assuring long life, well-being and peace. 

SERPENTINE
Serpentine is one of the most powerful stones for clearing the chakras, releasing stuck energies so that healing can occur. It can be a powerful manifestation crystal, helping to create abundance and aligning your intent with the Heart Chakra and "divine" or "source" energy. Serpentine also is considered to be a stimulator of Kundalini energy.

AVENTURINE
Green Aventurine carries a strong connection to Earth and the devic kingdom, providing a better understanding and appreciation of nature and its soothing vibrations upon the mind and body. It is a comforter and heart healer, dissolving negative emotions and thoughts. It is known to promote compassion and empathy and promotes feelings of well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I be sure the kuripe I ordered will fit?

We have sold many kuripes and tepis over the years and very rarely have had one returned because of fit. Our designs are nearly universal and designed to fit just about everyone.

That said, we always suggest that once you receive your kuripe to "try it on" without hapé first to ensure a good fit. If you find it is not a good fit, please contact us and we'll work out a return or exchange (*please be sure you do this before you actually use it with hapé, because once it has been used, we are not able to accept returns for hygienic reasons).

If you have special sizing requests or you're not sure what you need, just ask and we'll be happy to help you!

I saw your Kuripe listings on another marketplace (Ali Baba, etc) with the same photos from your shop listings. The prices were really cheap! Do you sell there as well?

No! Our only online presence is our Etsy shop and on Instagram and Facebook.

If you're seeing our EXACT listing photos and copy for goods (specifically Kuripes or Tepis) on Ali Baba (or elsewhere), for impossibly low prices, please know THIS IS NOT US and it is a scam.

We work hard to protect our Intellectual Property (photos/copy) but it can be nearly impossible in this day and age with sites like Ali Baba, whose platform makes it difficult to file IP complaints, and which is overrun by scammers.

If you're ever in doubt, please reach out to us here!

One caveat is that we do offer our HanaqPacha sprays to some great independent resellers, so please continue to support them!

Can I return or exchange my item?

We do our best to accommodate all customer requests. We accept returns and exchanges for items that are not as described, do not fit, or are damaged.

We unfortunately cannot accept returns or exchanges for items that the buyer "does not connect with energetically" or "changes their mind" about after the fact. This is unfortunately a risk one takes purchasing metaphysical items online.

We also cannot accept returns or exchanges on products like used kuripes for hygienic reasons, or sprays that have been used/tested.

However if you received a product that does not fit, does not work, is not as described, or is otherwise problematic -- excluding the exemptions we've indicated here -- contact us & we will do our best to rectify it for you.

Are your indigenous items "Fair Trade"?

Yes!!! 100%!

One of the main reasons we began HanaqPacha was to support the communities that have helped us so much with their healing, their culture, their medicines, their hospitality. Now, we work with many artisans in Peru and Brazil (and Indonesia, and beyond)... and do our best to support them, their families and their local economies by purchasing their wares at the most fair prices possible.

Your business helps us expand our global "family" even more, commissioning more unique works by our friends both at home and abroad.

I provided an incorrect address for my order, what do I do?

If you provide an incorrect shipping address & catch it right after ordering, simply message us to let us know. If it’s caught right away there is usually no problem in updating the shipping address before we ship.

However, please understand that you, the buyer, are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address for your order. If you do not provide an accurate shipping address, we cannot be responsible for rerouting a parcel once it has left our hands.

If an item is returned due to an incorrect shipping address that you provided, we can reship, but will need to charge for the reshipping fees. This can get expensive and time-consuming. So please take a few seconds before submitting your order to ensure that all info is correct.

Any pro tips for a smooth transaction?

Yes! We ask only two things of our customers: 1.) Please read the entire item description before ordering and 2.) Please respect our shop and policies.

Most customer issues arise because someone did not read the item description or store policies. We spend a lot of time including DETAILED descriptions of each item, as well as at least 8 photos of each item. We do this to ensure our customers' satisfaction. However the one catch is that you need to read the information we provide so you can make an informed decision, to ensure that you will receive the exact thing you are in search of.

Not doing so risks lengthy and expensive return processes which are frustrating for all. So please read the descriptions and policies prior to ordering ;)

I live in the Los Angeles area, do you offer local pickup?

No, unfortunately we are not able to offer local pickup at this time. However we do ship just about daily and orders to the LA area typically will arrive in 1-2 days once shipped (Priority Shipping is generally 1 day in most cases).

Any tips for international buyers?

Yes! One tip really: we ask that you track your item periodically via Etsy once we ship.

Many times, international items experience long delays in customs (which is normal), and sometimes parcels are "held for collection" at the local post office of the buyer and need to be picked up, or else they will be returned to seller. It is the responsibility of the buyer to stay abreast of this, so they can be sure to attend to any collection or signature required by your local post office.

If an item is returned due to non-collection, you will need to file a claim with Etsy and/or wait until the item is returned to us (which may be months) for reshipment, and then pay for reshipment.

Much easier to track and stay updated!

I received my order and there's a problem, what should I do?

Please contact us right away and we will do whatever we can to resolve the issue.

While we know the initial reaction may be to leave a negative review, please reach out to us first and give us the opportunity to help you. We're not perfect, but we do take accountability when we are at fault or when we have made an error.

We want all our customers to have a positive shopping experience with us. We have a long history of excellent customer service and can help find a solution to almost anything.

Negative reviews should really be a last resort and are rarely warranted. We prefer to find solutions so that everyone is happy.

When I track my order it says it was delivered, but I haven't received it, what do I do?!

If an item is marked as "delivered" but not received, the next step is to speak with your local post office. It could mean it was misdelivered to an incorrect address or it may be waiting at the post office for you. If you provide the tracking number to a manager at the post office they can explore.

If you do not have success with this, you can open up a case with Etsy for an item not received. Often times Etsy may directly compensate the buyer in these circumstances: help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/5745586898199-How-to-Open-a-Case-?segmen...

We're unfortunately not able to file claims for items marked as "delivered," but we do everything we can to ensure that you will either be refunded or receive your item. So please keep us updated.
