Catalogue

Our, full-colour, 176-page catalogue (Issue 24) details all of the products available through this site plus many more - too numerous to list. You can obtain an Adobe pdf copy of our complete catalogue (updated) on CD (includes other documents such as tumbling instruction booklet and 'Special Stone List') if you prefer.
Some sections of the catalogue can be downloaded in Adobe PDF format from the relative part of our on-line store.
A small charge (£2.50) is normally made for our printed catalogue - to minimize waste and assist in maintaining the lowest possible product prices - but we are waiving this charge (you pay only for the postage/packing) as a recession-busting gesture !

On-line QUANTITY DISCOUNTS

As an incentive to encourage our retail customers to order on-line, we have introduced a special web-based quantity discounting scheme on many items within our on-line store, however customers requiring wholesale prices must still contact us by post or fax (0161 480 5095) and provide 'proof-of-trading' - or better still click on the TRADE SALES Hilton Bros link in the left-hand frame and then complete the on-line registration form.

Wholesale Trade Sales This site is Retail only: If you are in business and are seeking wholesale prices we are now operating a new (restricted access) site allowing on-line ordering by registered customers.

Cut Gemstones

In addition to our regular stock of gemstones we are now offering our full range of 'Special Gemstones' for on-line sales such as this GREEN AMETHYST. It is not practical - nor does it make economic sense - for us to photograph every stone but we have started to add in some images of the better stones and we will add to these images over the coming months.

Our stock range of nearly 10,000 items (the majority being available through this site) covers hobby and professional requirements for craft/workshop/therapy use. E & O E. Copyright: Manchester Minerals. May 2012
