Opening Hours
We've had many requests about our opening hours at the Unit in St Albans. Here's a definitive list of our opening hours and we hope it helps...
Open most days... sometimes
Mon - Fri and sometimes Sat & Sun but not always any of them, we open at exactly about 10 or 11
but it could be as early as 6
or quite a bit later.
We close aroud 3 or 4
But sometimes as late as 11 or 12.
On special days we might close just before we open.
Some days or afternoons
we aren't here at all, and lately
I've been here just about All The Time
Except when I'm Somewhere Else,
But I probably should be here then too.
We Welcome Visitors to our Unit in St Albans but please make an appointment as you can see we're not always here and won't answer the door if I'm with a healing client. Just give us a call on 07808 730750 to arrange a visit to see our extensive crystal stocks, books, CDs, incense, etc..
New Unit - What's a Unit?
I'm finally writing this from my desk in the new Unit in St Albans. Someone asked me the other day, "What's a Unit?". And this is an intersting question that's probably worth expanding on. So the Unit is a space where I store my crystal stock. It's where customers, both retail and wholesale, can come to select the crystals they wish to buy. It's where I write surounded by the inspirational crystal energy. It's where I run the website from, and pick, pack and dispatch the internet orders. It is the place where I process our deliveries such as the stunning batch of aqua aura crystals that have just arrived from the USA. It's my office and a bolthole.
It's also a mess! It has more boxes of crystals than you can shake a stick at! Lorryloads!
It's not a "shop" and I don't keep regular hours. I open when I arrive and close when I feel like it. Sometimes that can means I can have the Unit open all day and other times not at all! So please book an appointment when you want to come. You can contact me through the contact links on this website.
And finally the joys of aqua aura because it is a very special crystal...
Aqua aura
Quartz crystal bonded with gold giving beautiful mostly clear blue crystals and clusters.
Common source – USA (from Arkansas or Brazilian quartz)
Astrological associations; Leo
Chakra; brow, throat
Healing qualities; aura, communication, protection, all psychic abilities, negativity, depression, sadness, loss, grief, a “feel better stone”.
And the most amazing thing that aqua aura does is help to relieve and release shock and trauma. Just hold a crystal if you (or someone else) has a shock and you will see the positive effects rapidly.
