Holly Hoel Benson owns La Tierra. She is a trained geologist who is now a communications consultant for major corporations. She commutes between her office in Texas and her ranch in Taos.

Mary Theresa Floersheim, Regina Conroy and Marje Schrubring can help you find that museum-quality specimen, or a special gift made by a Taos artisan, as well as learn about the metaphysical properties of crystals from places like Madagascar, India, and South Dakota.


And don't worry if that 22-pound pyrite cluster is too heavy for your carry-on—we'll ship items to you anywhere in the world.

Come by and see us while you're in Taos!
