Crystals

Since childhood, crystals have always fascinated me. Now, in later life, I am very much into holistic healing approaches and in particular, the amazing properties that these beautiful stones posess. Here are a few of the wonderful healing stones that I have in my collection and practise with...

You're spoilt for choice these days when it comes to places to buy your crystals and most towns these days have at least one 'new age' centre. In London, we have the likes of Watkins and Mysteries and my fabulous 'Crystal Man' at Covent Garden - a mineralogist/geologist who travels the globe to personally source all of his stones and has fascinating stories to tell as to their aquistion (sometimes you cant get away for hours!)

Nip down the road to Brighton and you are spoilt for choice with nearly half a dozen fabulous places including Fossils, Hocus Pocus and Crystals (superb quality stones but they tend to be a tad pricey). But my favourite place to while away the hours?.. The un-assuming little shop front above yeilds a wealth of treasures! The amazing Lodestone, Bourton on the Water, Gloucestershire. I felt my life was finally complete when I found this place!
