Gem & Tome (formerly Fluorite & Fantasies) is a portal for readers who crave magic, mood, and a bit of mayhem.

What started as a mother-daughter passion project (hi, Mom 👋) is now a one-woman bookish coven with roots still grounded in family. Momma Tina may have stepped back to focus on her career, but she still helps me hunt down indie fantasy books that will ruin you (in the best way).

We believe books are more than stories; they’re experiences. Each one is a doorway into something deeper: emotion, transformation, connection. That’s why we blend stories with spellwork, magic with meaning. We choose every item to help you feel the book, not just read it. To celebrate it. To live in its world, just a little longer.

If you love morally gray characters, chaotic good vibes, treating your inner goblin with magical self-care, and share a deep passion for supporting indie stories and those that create them… welcome home.
