Now this is something a little different… 🐚
A whole collection of fossilised gastropods, still held within their matrix.
I love this piece because rather than looking at one solitary fossil, it feels as though you’re looking at a tiny piece of ancient seabed. The little spiral shells emerge from the sandy-coloured matrix in all directions, some almost completely exposed and others still partly hidden away.
And just look at the detail on those spirals! 🤍
It’s strange to think that these were once living creatures, and now here they are, preserved in stone and sitting in my hand all this time later.
Definitely one for the fossil collectors — or for someone who simply likes the more unusual treasures I manage to find for the shop.
Coming to the website and our little shop of treasures at Middleton Hall Courtyard.

🍇 Now you can see why they call it Grape Agate…
Just look at those tiny little crystal balls!
Hundreds of softly lilac-purple spheres have naturally grown together in clusters, rather wonderfully resembling bunches of grapes. But get this piece into the sunshine and there’s another surprise — it sparkles! ✨
I love the areas where you can see the natural matrix underneath too, giving you a glimpse of how these extraordinary little rounded crystals have developed across the specimen.
Definitely one for the collector who likes their crystals a little unusual. 💜
On the website and, of course, available in our little shop of treasures at Odonata Studios.

✨ It looks like glass… but it isn’t ✨
Just look at the incredible clarity of this beautiful Clear Ice Quartz tower. At first glance it could almost be a piece of perfectly polished glass, but turn it slowly in the sunlight and all those wonderful natural details hidden inside begin to reveal themselves.
Little veils, inclusions and flashes catch the light as you move it, creating what looks like a whole snow storm suspended inside the crystal.
This is exactly why I love taking videos of our crystals — sometimes a photograph simply can’t show you what’s really there. 💎✨
Available now from Odonata Studios, our little shop of treasures.

💗💜 Just LOOK at those colours…
This beautiful polished ammonite has the most gorgeous pink and purple hues running through it — soft, unusual and quite mesmerising as you turn it in the light.
And, of course, hidden within those beautiful colours is a little piece of ancient history. Ammonites lived in our oceans millions of years ago, their distinctive spiral shells preserved in stone long after they disappeared.
I think there’s something rather magical about being able to hold something so incredibly ancient in the palm of your hand.
Another little treasure for the little shop of treasures ✨

💎 Now THAT’S a diamond! 💎
Well… almost. 😉
This fabulous statement piece is actually Clear Quartz, cut and polished into the shape of an enormous faceted diamond — and it really is quite something.
Turn it in the light and those beautifully polished facets catch and reflect everything around them, while the natural inclusions and little worlds within the quartz make it unmistakably a creation of nature.
Clear Quartz is often known as the Master Healer in the crystal world and is traditionally associated with clarity, positive energy and amplifying intentions.
But metaphysical properties aside… sometimes you simply need a ridiculously enormous sparkly diamond in your life. 💎✨
Another treasure for our little shop of treasures.
Now on the website.

A tiny world captured inside a sphere 🌿✨
Just look inside this beautiful Moss Agate…
Turn it slowly in the sunshine and there are little landscapes everywhere — mossy greens, earthy browns, cloudy whites and wonderfully clear areas that allow you to peer right into the heart of the stone.
And despite the name, there's no actual moss in there! Those beautiful botanical patterns are natural mineral inclusions, created by nature and completely unique to each piece.
Moss Agate is traditionally associated with grounding, growth, balance and new beginnings — although I think this one is worth having for those mesmerising little hidden landscapes alone. 💚
Another gorgeous sphere joining the treasures at Odonata Studios.

Look at the colour on this little beauty! 💙
This gorgeous 55mm Hemimorphite sphere is a dreamy shade of sky blue, threaded with delicate bands and earthy brown matrix with very many natural fissures and crevices. Every turn reveals a slightly different pattern, making it such a lovely one-of-a-kind piece.
Hemimorphite is said to have a gentle, uplifting energy and is traditionally associated with emotional healing, compassion, communication and inner peace.
And honestly… sometimes you don't need to know what a crystal is supposed to do — it's enough that it's beautiful. 💙✨
Available now in store at Odonata Studios and online. Follow the link in the profile above 😘

Another beautiful teardrop, this time in Rainbow Fluorite. 💜💚
Just look at the gorgeous striping and chevrons in this little beauty! 😍 And, as if that wasn’t enough, it holds a couple of tiny rainbows inside too. 🌈
Rainbows in crystals are said to be lucky — and are sometimes thought to be a sign of a happy crystal. ✨
Who wouldn’t want to live with a happy crystal? 💜

💜 Mexican Amethyst 💜
Just look at the incredible natural patterns in this beautiful polished Mexican Amethyst!
Delicate layers of agate wind their way through the stone, contrasting beautifully with the soft, translucent quartz and rich purple amethyst. Every layer and inclusion is completely natural, making this a truly unique piece.
Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm, clarity, protection and spiritual awareness — a lovely stone to have in your space, whether you’re drawn to its crystal properties or simply its natural beauty.
✨ A little piece of geological artwork for your home or crystal collection.
