MEET THREE QUARTZ MOON’S ASHLEY STEVENSON
INGREDIENTS
Ashley Stevenson has been involved in metaphysical retail since 1999, when she first moved to Florida. After some detours around the country, she’s back in the area, and in 2020, launched Three Quartz Moon in New Port Richey. A small passion project has since become something much larger. “I started Three Quartz Moon so I could better control my environment and spread positivity in my community,” Ashley explains. She decided to venture out on her own after her previous workplace became a toxic environment — the exact opposite of what a metaphysical shop focused on spiritual and emotional health should be. Ashley started small, making jewelry and selling her wares at local markets. Now, she has a brick-and-mortar store. Metaphysical shops, sometimes called “new age” stores, offer items like crystals, oils, incense, candles, and other interfaith items that help people connect with their spirituality. Three Quartz Moon now carries over 120 kinds of stones and works by local artists. “Our top-selling items vary week to week because we are always getting new and exciting items,” Ashley explains. “We do, however, specialize in products that cater to specific holidays, solstices, moon cycles, and so forth.” Being a business owner has helped Ashley improve her work/life balance, and she now enjoys spending more time with her family and engaging in self-care. Once she feels the current store is in a good place, she hopes to expand to bring metaphysical items to more people in the Tampa area. Ashley is a proud mother to her 6-year-old son, Flynn, and her dachshund, Yawkey. She has been married to “the most supportive husband” since 2016. She enjoys amateur geology or “rockhounding,” photography, and traveling in her spare time. She regularly seeks ways to help her community. “I love helping people with their journey in life,” Ashley says. “I also enjoy teaching people about things that may have been considered taboo without making them feel inferior.” If you’d like to learn more, visit ThreeQuartzMoon.com to check out the store’s inventory, social media accounts, and upcoming events!
