Happy New Year Everyone !
Normally I'd be feeling at least slightly excited but somehow it feels more like a funeral for 2020. I'm just mentally digging as big a hole as possible to bury this year in forever !
It's been a year in which the incompetence of politicians and the intransigence of health bureaucracies around the world has turned a fairly serious virus, somewhat more deadly than Flu to be sure, into an economically and emotionally destructive force that has turned the world upside down.
To their eternal shame the mass media have taken every opportunity to inflame our fears and dis...
Hi everyone and hope you're doing well.
It's the infamous Black Friday this weekend, but Crystal Heart never do sales because we charge fair prices and the great majority of our stock is uniquely handcrafted.
But it's also good to give something back and all your support over the lock down period has really saved us.
So for all of you regular customers who read our Blogs and Mail outs we're doing a special this weekend.
I can't call it Black Friday and just follow the herd, so this is Light Friday !
From Midnight tonight to Sunday Night just enter the code

Hi Everyone and hope you're all doing well. At least this terrible year is drawing to a close ! Heaps of changes going on for us all and the crazy thing is we don't really know what they are until they manifest !
I've been quiet for a while because I really haven't had a clear picture myself. Then the Shop opening kept me very busy. Then on that fateful 11:11 I cycled to the Dentist hit a car and broke my Hip and Femur. Yay ! One of the very rare times I wasn't wearing any crystals either.
Last time I did something similar, back in 1974 on my motor bike, I also smashed left leg and ankle. T...
Hi guys and hope you're all doing well. The Heart is still physically closed thanks to the lock down - but emotionally spiritually and On Line still very much open !
One thing about this second lock down is it gives me time for introspection.
For the first month for example, I became obsessed with classical piano performances on you tube. And I didn't do so lightly. Over 4 nights I listened to 5 performances of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto to decide who was my favourite pianist ! Hélène Grimaud won that competition, but Yuja Wang won the rest.
Well, that obsession has relaxed now, but it do...
Hi Guys and hope you're all doing well ! I guess the Title gives my mood away ~ I've just been listening to Chairman Dan's Map out of Lock Down. What a depressing document ! Crystal Heart will have to remain closed until October 28th and only open then if new cases have fallen to 5 per day for the previous two weeks. But hey, he has a supercomputer programmed by the University of Melbourne to tell him what to do, bless him. I got an honours degree in Computers and Cybernetics back in 1979 and one thing I learned about computers. If you put garbage in you get garbage out.
But Hey, it's a lov...
Hi everyone and hope you're all surviving well. I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU ! to all of you who have supported us through our website and given us an amazing record month there. The lock down in Melbourne was really a massive blow for us, but thanks to you we're able to survive.
We've stayed positive throughout, though that's been difficult sometimes lol.
Crystal Heart was conceived as a bubble of higher consciousness on the High St. and we will to continue to be that, but I'm so deeply grateful that with your support we've expanded that bubble to the internet !
As you may have...
