Highly recommend their products and so professional. The staff was so accommodating and was shipped as promised. **Comment from Empressive Earth Gallery:** > Serena, we are committed to bringing good service and great craftsmanship of our products to our clients. We are delighted to hear of your great experience with our company. Thank you, and enjoy your purchase! **★★★★★ — Nina Boston, Feb. 2017** > I'm THRILLED with my selenite lamps! They are solid and striking- by far better/substantial than others that I researched and saw at the Design Centers and high end stores. Other lamps flake and chip easily, but these are polished and have a beautiful luster that warms the room. Plus, I was able to customize the lamps with a different colored shade, which really makes a statement! The lamps have wonderful dimmers and the cord detail is perfect. I was nervous about sending such heavy yet fragile lamps across the country, but they were beautifully packaged - they are pure elegance! **★★★★★ — Cheryl Van Duyne, ASID, RID Interior Design, Oct. 2016** > Working with Empress is enjoyable because she is so knowledgeable and a wonderful business woman. Her showroom is beautiful and a great experience to see. The beautiful stones from all over the world are exquisite to see. I am looking forward to doing more business with her! **★★★★★ — home1022, Jan. 2016** > Empressive Geodesigns is an incredible shop with the best display, quality, and diversity of minerals and fossils we have seen in all of our travels. Empress herself is extremely impressive and passionate about geology and the beauties of God's art. We continue to find treasures with her and will be a lifetime client! **Comment from Empressive Earth Gallery:** > It's always a lovely surprise to hear from our past clients! Thank you for your support, it means a lot to be appreciated for your passion. **★★★★★ — shockingj, Jan. 2016** > Empress is a gem! Her inventory is stunning and displayed beautifully. She spent ample time educating me on the pieces in which I had interest and allowed me the space to take in the shear beauty of her store. She has deep knowledge of what she sells. The pieces I purchased were delivered in a timely manner and wrapped with the greatest care so there was no damage whatsoever. Her pricing is fair and I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Dallas. Thank you for connecting me with a new treasure for my home! **Comment from Empressive Earth Gallery:** > Jennifer, > It certainly is a pleasure to share my passion of minerals with you. Having you ask questions, it only fuels my enthusiasm to speak about my mineral art. > Thank you for your kind words and I will see you on your next trip to Dallas. **★★★★★ — Jessie Jones, Jan. 2016** > Absolutely love going into Empressive GeoDesigns! Empress has a very beautiful selection of minerals and stones. I can always find what I am looking for to add that extra sparkle to the design.

As an interior designer here in Dallas I always come to Empressive GeoDesigns because they have the most beautiful assortment of geodes. And Empress is so lovely to work with and has amazing ideas for displaying her beautiful pieces. This shop is a Dallas treasure you must check out. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — sandy1073, May 2015** > Our company chose Empressive GeoDesigns after hearing about them through Wilson & Associates in Dallas, Texas. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful and unique pieces of "nature's art." The items we purchased to display in our new office will fulfill our contemporary concept with gorgeous color and sculpture quality rock pieces. **★★★★★ — Barry Williams, May 2015** > i recommend Empressive GeoDesigns with enormous enthusiasm. The owner is so knowledgeable, interactive and fun. She knows everything there is to know about minerals, fossils, and stones and makes you want to know everything, too. I get a wonderful lesson every time i am there. I love the experience of being in her beautiful shop-- wondrous stones beautifully presented. Shopping there is a real treat. There is something there for everybody and every budget. **★★★★★ — gbueno23, April 2015** > The selection of stones and crystals at Empressive Geo Designs are so carefully curated that is hard not to specify something for every project we have! LOVE working with Empress!!! **★★★★★ — bwdesigninc, April 2015** > Empressive Geodesigns is our go to shop for minerals. Empress is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. She goes above and beyond. I am a designer for a firm here in Dallas and we take pieces out to show clients, and bring clients in often to look at the items in the showroom. She is always glad to greet us, answer questions, and offer ideas. The products she has in her showroom are wonderful with a wide range of prices, smaller pieces that are great gifts up to large one of a kind pieces which she will custom design a stand for or a furniture of art piece out of. I have attached photos I have taken in her showroom. ## Selected projects - [Contemporary Residence - Dallas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-residence-dallas-pj-vj~629414) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 40 - [Elegant Dallas Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-dallas-residence-pj-vj~499657) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Glamorous Dallas Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glamorous-dallas-dining-room-pj-vj~544775) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Mineral Accessories - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mineral-accessories-dallas-tx-pj-vj~447593) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Strait Lane Contemporary Bedroom - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/strait-lane-contemporary-bedroom-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492731) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Mineral Furniture - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mineral-furniture-dallas-tx-pj-vj~390270) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Colorful Study - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-study-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492730) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Mineral Art - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mineral-art-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492739) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Nature & Antiques - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nature-and-antiques-dallas-tx-pj-vj~533179) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Amethyst Tables - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amethyst-tables-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492742) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Traditional Living - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-living-dallas-tx-pj-vj~533112) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Desert Rose Cocktail Table with custom painted "H" frame and glass top. - [Rustic Retreat - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-retreat-dallas-tx-pj-vj~499684) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Small Mineral Accessories - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-mineral-accessories-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492735) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Bedrooms - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedrooms-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492744) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Mineral Lamps - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mineral-lamps-dallas-tx-pj-vj~447669) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [French Country Living Room - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-country-living-room-dallas-tx-pj-vj~550523) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Loft Living - Bedroom - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/loft-living-bedroom-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492729) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Rare Mineral Accessories - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rare-mineral-accessories-dallas-tx-pj-vj~492736) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Living Spaces - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-spaces-dallas-tx-pj-vj~453332) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Traditional Accent - Dallas, TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-accent-dallas-tx-pj-vj~560601) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 26 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/furniture-and-accessories/empressive-earth-gallery-pfvwus-pf~470178049) ## Ideabooks - [New at Empressive GeoDesigns](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28344678/list/new-at-empressive-geodesigns) — 6 ideas - [Radiant Orchid-2014 Color of the Year](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21314869/list/radiant-orchid-2014-color-of-the-year) — 10 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/empressiveearthgallery) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
