 Catalogue Issue 24Our, 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) during July and August as a holiday gesture !

 New 'Carded' Mini Minerals displayOur smaller minerals and fossils are now supplied in attractive clear 'clam-shell' packaging with an appropriate descriptive card. The packaging is colour coded according to price - and therefore does not include the price; which is useful if you are purchasing as a gift for someone else ! A wide range is available in our store and the most popular items can be ordered on line through this site. |
 Lapidary Beginners CoursesFor some time now, we have been holding regular one-to-one courses (in our newly-refurbished workshop) for people (over 16 years old) wishing to learn the basics of lapidary and gem-cutting. Available dates for the courses appear on our web-site so keep checking for up-dates. You can also purchase a Tuition Voucher as an unusual and practical gift.

 | Ford Consul Classic 315
An eye-catching attraction (the car - not the person !) that can sometimes be seen in our car park (on sunny days only !): A rare LHD 1962 Ford consul Classic 315 that is preserved and maintained by John Hilton and his family. The vehicle had been restored to concourse condition, in the late 80's, after having been brought back to England from France where it had spent many years in a Paris museum prior to purchase and barn storage by a french farmer. The vehicle is now a regular exhibit at some of the Classic Car Events in the North West of England. |
