🚨 Breaking news from The Crystal Tree!
A previously undiscovered geological layer has been found on our crystal shelves.
Preliminary investigations suggest it’s mostly dust. 😂
Some of these rocks have survived hundreds of millions of years… and apparently I can’t even find the motivation to dust them!
Further investigations have been postponed until after coffee. ☕🤣

It’s funny where a little curiosity can lead!
I was recently adding some Lepidolite bracelets to our online shop, and while writing their description, I decided to dig a little deeper into the story behind this beautiful purple mineral.
I’ve known about Lepidolite’s unusual layered structure and its connection to lithium for years, but the more I researched, the more interesting the story became.
One particularly fascinating discovery involved Lepidolite mining in California and its connection to the beautiful pink gemstone Kunzite.
What started as a product listing eventually became our latest Earth’s Hidden Treasures Journal article!
I’ve put together a short video showing some of our Lepidolite collection, including the bracelets that started it all.
If you’d like to learn a little more about this fascinating mineral, you can read the article here:

Ahh thank you my lovely. Thank you for taking time out to read it. I had been so stuck in the metaphysical properties of crystals, but now I am loving rediscovering them all over again through geology 😊
I’ve always loved Lepidolite, i have a beautiful heart i bought from you a few years back. Very interesting information on the website, thank you for sharing it 💜
Sometimes I feel uncomfortable walking into really small shops! 😂
Not because I don't like them, but because I sometimes feel obliged to make conversation, or worse, buy something.
And don't get me started on being asked "Can I help you?" before I've even had a chance to look around!
The funny thing is, Louise and I own a tiny shop ourselves.
And one thing I've learnt is that people don't always feel comfortable stepping inside a small independent shop.
But here's something you might not know about running one…
Sometimes hours go by without seeing a single customer. Not just without making a sale, but without anyone coming through the door at all.
So when somebody pops in for a quick browse, says hello, and leaves without buying anything, I genuinely don't mind.
They've found us. They've had a look around. Perhaps they'll remember us another day, or mention us to a friend.
And that's absolutely fine with me.
So I'm curious… does anyone else feel a little intimidated walking into tiny shops, or is it just me? 😂 ... See MoreSee Less

You have a lovely shop
Small shop big hearts
I’ve run a small business making handmade items and had my own workshop open to the public as well as selling at craft fairs. I think that saying hello and making people feel welcome -and that you aren’t watching their every move- makes people feel they can look and take their time, they don’t HAVE to buy something! The worst thing -ever - is the people who try too hard to sell! ‘I make all these myself’ or other similar comments! Far better to just let people browse- and maybe thank them for coming in. They’ll be back if they feel comfortable shopping with you - or better still, like what they see!
I have a vitamin shop in our town and the owner always comes straight over and tries to show all different brands and things, friendly enough but when you just want to have a mooch it drives me nuts, i’ve stopped going in there now 😁
Everything you have said but you have left your windows light with a small selection of stock, excellent visibility for window shoppers who can see inside. That is very welcoming
I'm with you on that 100%
Love this shop and will be returning soon for a birthday treat 🥰
You are right Tracy I feel that too, I think it’s normal or not! 😫🤣😍🥰
Oh wow Tracy !!! Your shop looks AMAZING !!! 💎💎💎 If I am ever in the area I will come and see you ! 🤗
There has always been a warm friendly welcome at the crystal tree, never prressured to buy and always information given when asked, such a joy to visit. Hope to see you again soon - I have been saving my pennies for the event..
Having run one such, I found that putting out a companionable chair changed the atmosphere enormously: it indicates friendliness and no pressure to buy
