Our Mission:

Est 2022, disabled ran U.K. small business ♿️ To bring high quality minerals or fossils at competitive prices from around the world 🗺 With first class customer service & support for every customer🥇

Our History:

Laura, has been obsessed with sparkle ✨ since I was a child. My husband Kevin and I have an obsession for genuine gemstones aka crystals since 2007, which has taken us on an amazing journey to find some beautiful pieces of jewellery for our personal collection. This includes: Brazilian (Original Mine) and Mozambique Paraiba  Tourmaline, Shimoyo Rubellite, Diamonds and all manner of other real gemstones.

When did you start to collect and stock crystals?

The first public display of my (Laura) designs were at the Royal College of Arts, London at Flux Exhibition and I have exhibited, commissioned and sold my work with many galleries since then.

Why and when did you, Laura, stop making fine silver jewellery?

While designing jewellery I began forming a collection of individual loose gemstones for my collection, to be able to draw from this for my designs.  However, my disability was frustratingly affecting my hands and my disability worsened, affecting my finesse and my ability to create fine work.

 

In 2021, I began to view and buy larger mineral and decorative pieces for our home, as decorations. This included simple items like raw Clear Quartz or Agate geodes, which expanded once I found new wholesalers to buy from and then next chapter has begun.

Our passion lights our way and the decades of accumulated knowledge we have has remained and is something we draw from to build our small store, listing beautiful pieces with competitive prices.

Starting Our Journey Laura’s Crystal Tea U.K. 

The new avenue of social media and, specifically, the mineral community on TikTok gave us a new avenue to build our small business. 

What are you goals and plans for the future?

We want to pass on our savings by working with competitive and exciting vendors from around the world, who will offer us genuine products at a fantastic low price.

We have suppliers from around the world and always love to find the miner or collector who dug the minerals we sell. We specialise in U.K. Fluorites especially independently mined from closed mines.

What are each of your favourite types of minerals?

Kevin, has an eye for gem grade cut gemstones and will be offering our customers and visitors a chance to buy some truly special genuine gemstones from us in the future.

I adore finding rarity in specimens and love to share my fascination with the energy in crystals, with a fabulous stock of tumbles and palms. Perfect to hold and use to calm and focus, similar to fidget toys. 

More details will follow in our blog here and on social media.
