October has been such a busy month no only with shows in the UK, Germany but also meeting up with our friends from Brazil and relocating, now how do you suppose we moved the 120Kg quartz crystal ball?

Seasonal Greetings 2008!
We’d like to say a BIG THANK_YOU to you our valued customers over the internet, on the high street and at various shows and events we attend throughout the year.
We hope you have a lovely, relaxing and jolly Christmas and a rewarding New Year!
Now’s good to take time to review the year about to pass and plan for the year in front, not all dreams manifest in ways we expect but there’s rewarding challenges out there for us all! Don’t forget we offer free postage for orders over £18 and we ship every working day and Saturdays, orders arriving before 3pm normally ship the same day. We also hold all the stock shown in our shops and storage facilities, no drop shipping or last minute ordering systems are used.We also show images of the exact item, with the exception of tumblestones, books, magazines etc. and where stated.
2009 as always we shall be expanding the ranges of crystal and minerals, we’ll also have more gemstones for jewellery makers so whether you are a budding silversmith or goldsmith or have found a new pastime have a look find a unique gem and create your own masterpiece!
The only certain thing that we know is that everything changes and it’s best to move with them!
Well we’re always trying to give customers a better experience when shopping online as part of our continued development program we’ve made a few changes, have a look and see if you like the way Earthly Gems online is evolving – let us know!
We have added a postcode lookup so when you checkout you don’t have to type your address in, we’re also sending you parcel tracking numbers when we ship your goods!
Also the equipment we use to take our pictures of the stock is evolving, so we hope you notice that the photos are showing more detail.
A local campaign which in essence is a great initiative but having attended a meeting currently seems a little preoccupied with the issues of plastic bags!
Our last invite was not by email but by letter containing 2 A4 pages printed only on 1 side, a shame we can all do more!
A local venue posted an invoice to us for a recent workshop we held there, we probably share the same postbox literally seconds from our front doors, we can all do more!
We’ve been using paper bags for a long time, however aware that they take energy to make transport and are heavy have been looking at alternatives, hemp, cotton, potato starch etc. Unfortunately mostly only available from over sea’s and at quantities that would take up too much valuable space!
We had hoped that everyone would club together and not only have a sustainable bag but one which would promote local business as well!
Anyway for now what we have is a sustainable cotton bag(with no advertising!) available for purchase at £2.50 or free if you buy something big and heavy from the shop and a plastic bag but 100% degradable!
Not really the colour but the environmental thoughts feelings and considerations, we like to think we’re always trying to do our little bit, this blog is actually hosted on servers from a company that uses solely wind, water and solar energy for creating it’s power. So it’s definately worth mentioning and hopefully adds to our efforts!

Welcome to our Blog!
We’ve decided to setup this blog to compliment our irregular newsletters providing further insight into the world of Earthly Gems! We’ll have observations on everything we do from shop news, crystal healing, minerals, crystals, creating gemstone jewellery, shows and events we attend from Health fairs to Rock n Gem shows. We hope you stop by and find something useful, interesting or worthy of a comment or two! Enjoy!
