"Founded by Raina and Zakary Halvorson in 2021, The Blacklyte District started as a quirky idea born from two gamers playing Minecraft. What began as an interest in virtual mining soon turned into a passion for uncovering real-life treasures. Our love for gems and minerals —especially those that glow under UV light— sparked countless adventures, from small mining trips close to home to sourcing unique finds from around the globe.

We’re dedicated to sharing this passion by offering an eclectic mix of fluorescent and non-fluorescent gems and minerals, one-of-a-kind jewelry, and art that celebrates the beauty of nature and fluorescence. Whether you’re a fellow collector, an admirer of handmade craftsmanship, or just curious, we’re here to help you discover something extraordinary."
