Don't know about you all out there, but in the Crystal Heart microcosm it seems a lot of us have had a hard time over the last few days. Personally I've been feeling exhausted, grumpy and pointless ! A lot of this is due to preparation for the current 1 year, which really demands we let go of unnecessary old baggage. Particularly negative self beliefs. For me, the negative overload was beginning to manifest some worrying physical symptoms so a couple of nights ago I dug deep and called on healing energy. I could egoise that, for after all I had the faith to make the effort -  but as I had t...

Thanks again for all your support - I really do value it more as each year goes by. Well, it was a record December on all fronts but left me totally exhausted and I'm only now getting back into gear with some new uploads. Numerologically, 2017 is a " One Year " ( 2+0+1+7 = 10, 1+0 = 1 ) which means new beginnings. I think I believe in this now - looking back to previous 1 years. In 2008 we moved to this big new shop, which meant more departments, more staff, more pressure ! The first few years were really tough but by 2016, the completing nine year we had it sussed. Go back to 1999, I took ...

Firstly I want to thank all of you, our lovely customers, who keep this Dream alive. Those of you who have been supporting us for up to 30 years ! Really ! Have of course become as old friends. I'd like to say a special thank you this year to our Web customers from all over the world. From Japan to Siberia, America to Europe, I get a real buzz sending a little Crystal Heart energy around our Lovely Planet.  We have of course been fantastically busy little Elves frantically filling the Shop with conscious presents, and are happy to wrap free of charge ( unless it's too big ! ) So keep an eye...

10 pm Saturday Night, and just closed the Shop. Can't believe it's been a month since my last Blog Post ! Just been so busy. Anyway, a week ago we got our biggest shipment of crystals in and I will be uploading some selected pieces. We've a whole bunch of Amethyst Caves and candle holders - and every one is really special. Aqua Aura points sold loose by the gm. Pendants are finally on their way. A couple of big Smoky Crystals - one with Rutile inclusions, the other with masses of red Epidote. Amazing prices as I managed to make some good deals. Heaps of new Crystal Kits and Affirmation ston...

Wow. It's 10 pm on Saturday night but I've had lots of fun uploading gorgeous gems :-) Mandarin Garnet ! Double Wow ! This has been something of a mythical stone for me - but at last we have some in stock. Still the same warm centering energy typical of Garnets but an explosion of abundant creativity. Chatting about all the different forms of Garnet with Paul I loved his explanation " Garnet is a greedy guts ", he said. " It'll just absorb anything spare elements going and that's why there's so many colours " Also new is the first Australian Chrysocolla we've seen, from the Northen Territor...

I didn't buy any Moldavite on the last trip because this time the energy of the stones just didn't feel right. But Paul's does ! Turns out there's a professor in Czechoslovakia who specialises in Moldavite and buys his direct from the field, and Paul buys directly from him. Moldavite is one stone you have to be careful about, and we at the Heart care a lot about Authenticity. We also got some fantastic faceted pendants which all show the classic spherical bubbles and flow structure of genuine Moldavite. There's many theories about how Moldavite was formed but this, from another Czech Profes...
