A spectrality interlacing
the peculiar and extraordinary...

Shelbz Citrine, a fine artist and tattoo artist, whose work bridges the sacred and the profane, draws upon classical training while pursuing rigorous experimentation in surreal, dark, and inner depth.

Her practice acknowledges that even the most peculiar of paintings remains rooted in the human experience: art serving simultaneously as self-expression and unequivocal reflection of intangible dimensions.

Alongside and grounded in animist reverence, Citrine has combined her passions, beliefs, and abilities to partner with The Royal Karkhana and offer ethical and artisanal mined and cut natural Black Spinel of the finest quality.

With ethical, natural, and holistic resources being rare and difficult to obtain, her passion for high quality, natural, and handmade materials has turned into a mission to use research, knowledge, and connections to acquire special items of worth, from traditional sources, and to offer these rarities, at fair prices, directly to you, lovely clientele.

Our Black Spinel is single sourced from the Lost Two Kilo Mine in the Kingdom of Thailand. This deposit of Black Spinel produces the world’s finest Black Spinel. The Lost Two Kilo Mine has a policy of artisanal mining, with no heavy equipment, to keep the natural environment protection as a priority. Artisan miners and cutters who have centuries of tradition in animist mining process by hand all the precious Black Spinel we offer.

Our exclusive agreement with Royal Karkhana to market and sell these Black Spinel from the Lost Two Kilo Mine in the United States ensures traceability, social responsibility and sustainability.
