I can't believe it's the first Monday of the year! I think I am still in recovery mode from all of the Christmas dinner I ate. 😂 Anyways, I am proud to announce that it is officially the first Star of The Post of 2026. We are starting off strong with lots of amazing specimens. Let's have a look at the contenders for this weeks edition. 😊

🥇First place goes to this Uv reactive Pink Calcite/White Calcite specimen. I don't think I've ever seen a Uv specimen that is that bright before.

🥈I am going to give second place to the Azurite geode. The blue and green colours work so perfectly together. Plus it reminded me of my Azurite Fun Fact Friday which I really enjoyed doing. 💙💚

🥉Just sneaking into third place is the Amethyst and Agate freeform from Uruguay. Amethyst is one of my favourite crystals, and the purple colour on this freeform is so deep and rich. It truly is beautiful.💜

That's it for the first ever Star of The Post of 2026. There are many more to come throughout the year, so make sure you stay tuned!

I have put the link to the new arrivals section of our website down below. 😊👇You can browse all of these new specimens featured in todays post plus all of our other amazing products currently available to buy.

My personal favourite however is the Yellow Fluorite Sphere. It's colour is so vibrant!

It’s officially the last Fun Fact Friday before Christmas!🎅🏻🎄❤️

Kick off your Christmas celebrations right by learning all about Hematite. My favourite fact this week is that Hematite is what gives Mars its iconic red colour…I think there’s definitely life on Mars, there is no way we are alone in the universe! 👽😂

Anyway enough about beings from other planets, enjoy this weeks Fun Fact Friday!🤓💡

Ps. We have just uploaded around 44 specimens to our website so stayed tuned for a post tonight all about them.😊💛

How is it nearly Christmas already?🤯 I hope everyone in our lovely crystal community hasn't left their Christmas shopping until the last minute!🎅🏻😂

It's time for a new edition of Star of the Post.😊 This week there is a wide mixture of amazing crystals. There are hearts and palmstones as well as dragon heads and towers. They are all waiting patiently for a brand new forever home. Remember that my top three might be completely different to yours. Let us know your favourites in the comments below!

🥇This weeks winner is this truly incredible Lapis Lazuli freeform. It's deep blue is amazing, and I think it is overtaking Amethyst as my new favourite crystal! 💙

🥈In second place is the Phantom Quartz. I love the intricate details inside of it. The more I look at it the more I am amazed by it. 🤍

🥉I have to give third place to the Mookaite palmstone. The Red/pink colour perfectly compliments the white. That is what helped it get into third place and beat the rest of the competition.

That's it for this edition of Star of the Post. Don't forget that you can see this weeks contenders plus all the other new crystals by checking out the new arrivals section of our website. 😊💛 We've provided a link down below that will take you straight there.👇💜 Laslty, keep your eyes out for a new Fun Fact Friday all about Hematite.One of the facts about Hematite is out of this world!

Happy Friday crystal community😊💜

It’s time for Fun Fact Friday! 🤓💡Thank you for patiently waiting for your Fun Fact Friday today. I promised you narration and it’s narration you shall get!

Hello crystal friends! 👋

It's once again time for Star of the Post. In Today's edition we will be taking a look at the brand new wonderful spheres that CrystalsnGems has to offer. These are my personal favourites, but I want to know what yours are. Let me know in the comments below!😊

🥇First place goes to the Money Agate sphere. I love it's orange colour and it's intricate patterns help it to confirm top spot. However, it did face tough competition from second place.

🥈 Second place goes to the Turquoise and Chrysocolla sphere. The blue and white colour on this sphere compliment each other so well. It only lost to first place because the Money Agate had those intricate patterns.

🥉Coming in at third place is the Black Tourmaline and Quartz sphere. I love how the Black Tourmaline is embedded into the Quartz. It adds so much character to the sphere, and it helps it stand out amongst the others.

That's all for this sphere edition of Star of the Post. Keep your eyes open this week for a new Fun Fact Friday all about Amazonite. There are some facts this week which i'm sure will blow your mind!🤯For the first time in the series, I will be narrating the video.☺️Remember you can check out all of these amazing spheres by clicking the link to the new arrivals section of our website down below.👇💜

Good evening one and all!

I hope you are all getting into the Christmas spirit. I've been learning Last Christmas on guitar...it's going well but it still needs lot's more work!🎅🏻🎁Anyways, I think it's time for a special edition of Star of the Post.🤩🌟All of our contenders this week are incredibly crafted carvings. In all honesty, it's been so hard to choose a winner...I think all of them could win!😂Here are my personal top three.

🥇First place was tough this evening. After much deliberating I have decided to give first place to the Labradorite hexagon carving. Colour wise, I think it's one of the clearest Labradorites i've ever seen! 😍💙

🥈Second place goes to the Selenite Kwan Yin on Lotus carving. The craftmanship to carve this item is simply outstanding.🤍

🥉Third place has to go to the realistic Jasper Snake. It almost made me jump when I opened it up from it's box. If this was a Halloween post, it would definitely have got first place! 😂

Well that's it for this special edition of Star of the Post. We have loads more of these incredible carvings on our website. You can get there by following the quick link we've put down below to the new arrivals section of our website.👇💜
