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!

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!

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!

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.

I absolutely love working with Empress to find the perfect geode for me or my clients. 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!

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.

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.
