Hi everyone. Hope you've all been doing well. Today once again is that happy sad time when I finally send all my goodies off via UPS. The show is over once again. Back to the grindstone :-) We did well on this trip. No Sugilite anywhere but I did find some lovely loose stones to set. Many of my own settings from the last trip are on their way. Lovely Dioptase crystals, Aqua Aura and other special Quartz which look great and are really affordable. I've been away a long time. 7 weeks in all.  I'm calling it my long service leave as I haven't had 4 weeks to myself since we moved to Melbourne i...

Well, Holiday over now the "work" begins. OK it is a bit draining walking round all day but buying beautiful stones makes it all worthwhile. Gem Show doesn't start for a few days but there's a few favourite suppliers in Bangkok I can visit. I got a few more of those gorgeous Epidote Quartz Phantoms, some really lovely chunks of Morganite to make into Jewellery, nice Kunzite Pendants - the natural crystal shape, polished and set really simply. Managed to find some Chrome Diopside beads, not often seen, and some lovely faceted Tourmaline beads - expensive always, but we got a good price. Of c...

Hi Everyone. Nice to get back in touch after a few weeks out ! I'm still in Thailand having a holiday before the gem show. I'm proud to announce I've achieved my goal - this is the most boring holiday ever ! Here it's just gym swim massage eat well so I can get my body back, Yes, exactly what I wanted because the last 5 months at the Heart were exciting and stressful enough. As the uploads from the previous trip wound down I got to work on the new website - hope you love it - and then in the last two weeks big buys from Julio and Marco. Which are being uploaded daily 'cos I'd hate you to ge...

Just as Summer seems endless, so does Winter, even the Weather does Karma ! Basically this means that on Thursday and Sunday we will close at 6 pm instead of 8 pm. We will still be open 7 days a week, and will maintain our late nights on Friday and Saturday when we are always open until 10 pm. I'm still uploading Jewelry, so stay in touch ! Enjoy your Winter Evenings one and all. Love from the Crystal Heart Team,

A week after my Flower of Life AHA !  Moment . . . . . There's so much written about the Flower of Life but really it's just something to meditate on and find your own answers. What follows is my own experience. Well this is extraordinary. Just spent a day in the shop and office and the same peaceful calm has stayed with me all day. Contemplating this wonderful effect, I think I'm getting a handle on it. It seems that all the many compartments in my brain have been harmoniously organised and connected. Rather than being conflicting demands stressing me out like a bunch of demanding children...

This morning I was uploading some more Flower of Life pendants and wondering what to say about them. I found myself simply meditating on this Mandala. Just gazing at it with open mind, observing the changing patterns as my consciousness made different connections. The Universe answered my question. I felt an extraordinary centering and uplift. Even my Crystal Heart Crew noticed a difference, commenting on how focused I appeared. This is a huge change in me because normally when I focus on one thing I get annoyed and a little grumpy when distracted by questions and yes even customers ! But t...
