Minerals
We have a large selection of crystals and minerals. I am currently working on a better way to list the many minerals in stock, but for the moment please feel free to phone and ask for more information on anything you have in mind. We may have it in stock, but if not we can often find it for you. Prices range from under a pound for tumbled stones to amethyst geodes at hundreds of pounds, with lots in between. There is something for everyone, from those with a passing interest to committed collectors.
