The Real Work Begins :-)

Hi Everyone. Well, buying is work but fun ~ but now our Apt in Bangkok is like a little Factory. Nicha in her office makes tons of beaded Jewellery, me in the lounge on the endless task of processing all the other Jewellery. We bought so much ! Usually I'm OCD on prices as I buy, but this time I pretty much just chose what I liked. Following the Heart usually works out well, especially when you brought that spare credit card . . . . . Stunning Azurite/Malcahite/Chrysocolla from a new source ~ the Morenci Mine in USA. More Tourmalines ~ yes, Watermelon, also some fabulous vibrant Rubellite ...

This Weeks Uploads

Hi Everyone and hope you all had a good week. It's been pretty intense here at the Heart with everything happening at once ~ I don't know what's been happening in the Stars but the whole World seems to have been going a little more crazy than usual. All I can say is I'm glad it's all over and we've survived ! Can't help wondering whether that extra hit of Tanzanite had something to do with all this because I certainly feel more evolved ! Hey, I even managed the first mail out since Christmas ! Anyway, between all the dramas I've certainly been on a creative high. Product descriptions have i...

Getting stuck in to 2018 ?

Hi Everyone, and hoping you're all finding your feet in this New Year. After 3 frantic months of running around and uploading I'll be glad to take the weight off mine a little bit ! But there's still some nice pieces trickling through. Recently I uploaded some lovely Star Rubies with really nice rich red colour rather than the more anaemic ones you usually see. I remember very clearly my pleasure at finding them on a buying trip in India ...... over ten years ago ! In all that time they've been sitting in my tin box of stones to set. Many times I'd admired them and deciding to do something,...

SACRED GEOMETRY

Geometry is a basic law of Nature - a mathematical Harmony of forces and matter on which our very existence depends. The Flower of Life is one of the best known - for a very long time, since the earliest depiction is found at the Temple of Osiris in Abydos of Ancient Egypt. It and it's component the Seed of Life is said to represent the formation of life from the void. Another equally ancient symbol is the Sri Yantra whose interlocking triangles represent the Union of Masculine and Feminine, God and Goddess. Also primal forces of creation. Wearing this can help your own inner Union and prom...

Rubies and Sapphires

                                      RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES At Crystal Heart we always prefer big stones - and that's been a problem with Sapphires and Rubies for example. Sure we've maintained stock of Matrix Stones but these aren't gem quality. Until this trip !!! We now have Gemmy Rubies and Sapphires - large sizes and affordable prices. These come from a mine outside Chantaburi, Thailand ( same area as Bridge over River Kwai ) where they've been mined for centuries. The Ruby had run out, but more has been discovered. They all have translucence to varying degrees. The colour is lovely and...

Back from Buying Trip

Well Sorry all but it's been such a long time between posts. But the shop has been very busy, which is good, though in the end I was really hanging out to get away to the Bangkok Gem Show !  It was a very good trip. Even though I arrived exhausted, hobbling round like an old man :-) but it's a perpetual source of amazement to me that once I start viewing beautiful crystals and gemstones my energy always returns ! Talk about 6 degrees of seperation though. I was chatting with my new favourite supplier who has a really good eye for stones and I happened to mention that my love affair with cry...
