Want to know more about the stories behind the discovery of Crystal Castle’s Crystal Guardians?

The Crystal Castle Guardians travelled from a remote location in Uruguay’s north coast to their new home in the Byron Bay hinterland.

It took a miracle of logistics, including three massive trucks, two cranes, and a team of skilled engineers, to transport and install these giant amethyst rock geodes. Over a dozen men and a crane were required to carefully unload and position them.

Yes! Weighing an incredible 20 tonnes, the Crystal Guardians are the largest geodes in the world. Standing as silent sentinels, they overlook the lush green Byron Bay hinterland. Their installation required expert engineering to ensure they remain stable in their new home.

The Crystal Guardians are over 120 million years old. Sourced from a single massive rock, they are believed to be the largest crystals of their kind ever discovered.

You can stand between these towering formations, touch them, and experience their immense energy as you reconnect with nature. The Guardians radiate serenity. They serve as a place of reverence in the heart of our Byron Bay region.
