Meet HETTIE'S Rock & Crystal Shop

We are not just retailers, this business is our life. This means we are passionate about crystals and stones. We also make it our business to know where our stones come from and that they are polished and prepared safely and with NO child labour. We travel to the factories to see for ourselves how our rocks and crystals are prepared.

We have our own workshop but cannot possibly make everything we sell, here are some photos from one of our long term suppliers in China.
