Yes, haha, same here.

I have my eye on one of their eudyalite spheres. The large one. Simply stunning.

Sorry to hear that!

Yet, I haven’t found any other shop that compares to them though, price/quality wise.

If you happen to find one, I hope you’ll share!

It's beginning to feel quite commercial like you always get when a company grows. It used to be like visiting friends, like coming home, as the vibe was so great. Now it feels like going to a shop.
So of late I'm inclined to looking elsewhere.

That is a good point, yes. The quality of their crystals and the prices is very good. I guess it's just me accepting that the rest isn't the same anymore.
It always saddens me a bit as I've seen this happen to other businesses before in various fields. I cannot blame them. If you can make more money, and it almost goes by itself, then I would do it too.

Sometimes it feels like corona has an impact on people economically. They may be having a hard time to get by forcing them to become more commercial? Hopefully it's a temporary thing. Nothing beats buying stones and crystals in a shop.

I bought a 2nd Uluru Amulet tumble this afternoon :) One of the very few occasion I leave Lichtpuntje Kristallen with only a tumble, hihi.

I was tempted by a beautiful rough Blue John fluorite but I wasn't certain and it's too expensive to just buy regardless.

Wow neat stuff!

What's uluru like?

I just bought a limonite quartz cluster. It looks like coals on a fire, the bottom half is orange yellow, the top is slate grey limonite coating.

My son and I traveled to the big, big city and went to the crystal and gem store. It was interesting. My son really enjoyed the energy. He chose a triangle pendant of gems in stripes of the chakra colors. The sales person offered to tell him the name of each crystal color. He said, no, because he wants to learn it on his own so he will remember the names.

I bought a selenite candle holder with black fossil base and a black fossil ring on the top. also purchased a tiny blue lace agate and a ruby fuschite. The colors of the ruby Fuschite are quite playful, green, pink and tan.
