Rocks And Things

Crystal healing is a traditional lore and healing practice. My own pathway to crystal healing happened over the course of my lifetime. I first became fascinated with crystals at an early age. A kind distant relative gave me a Black Opal from Lightening Ridge, plus some polishing powders, and I was hooked. I was not the only young kid fascinated with gemstones and semi-precious stones. Fairy tales and old movies are filled with stories of gemstones and stones with extraordinary powers. These precious gifts from nature are collected and used by dragons, magicians, monarchs, and other powerful and magical beings. The healing uses of crystals were not known to me then. I was more consumed by their beauty and precious nature. At about the age of ten my father took me along to a gemstone and lapidary club. He made a tumbler for me to polish my collections, but everyone complained about the noise it made so it hardly ever ran. Now, some fifty-plus years later I have a tumbler or two running nearly continually and the rumbling sound is part of the background hum of my house.
From those beginnings I have made Rocks and Things into a store offering the widest range of beautiful crystals, fossils, minerals and stones that I can manage. Then I add even more. I like offering rarer crystals alongside favourites such as Amethyst and Rose Quartz. My catalogue has over 130 varieties listed, reflecting the wide range on offer in my store.
For me, crystals, fossils and minerals will always be firstly wonderful gifts from nature. Each piece is unique and has a beauty that in my view makes them near priceless. I feel blessed to be surrounded by these gorgeous, wonderful stones in my home and in my life. ...read more
