This weekend Aliens and Humans mingle in Glastonbury for the annual intergalactic meeting of past future and yesterdays conclusions that Glastonbury is really in a far far distant galaxy called Avalon in somerset
Where reality is just a figment of the closed mind and that just about something is really posible to be done after a good cup of hot tea of warm beer
There is also the Psysic show on but not all are abel to be there as they wernt told
We have just had our long awaited Rose quartz delivery in pieces the size of a shoe box and larger of a very fine tranclucent rose pink colour
New Moldavite pendants now on this site and some new Black very chatoiant moonstone and some spangley optical calcite spheres these will be on site soon.

Thank you for looking at our new site. Over the next few days and weeks we will be adding to our new site which you should find a lot easier to use. It features better images, descriptions and a search engine which should make it alot easier to use!!!l We have accounts for you to register with.This should make it easier for you to track your orders and to see what you have ordered in the past! This site is only here because of a very hard working team, especially Fi, Anna & Loki. Especially Jenny for putting up with me hiding my self away till all hours taking photos and working with databases and things!!!
