Hi, we're Beth & Graham Holtum, and this is the online store for our crystal shop, Rainbow Spirit, in Wadebridge, North Cornwall. In the crystal shop we've a large range of minerals and products for crystal healing - like crystal balls, quartz 
points, wands -as well as gemstone jewellery, & books.
We're proud of our Cornish crystals and we have 3 cabinets dedicated to Cornish minerals specimens.
We think that people choose to buy and keep returning to us because we handpick the crystals and jewellery, with an eye for detail as well as beauty, and that we cleanse all our crystals with the crystal singing bowls in our Healing Room with the intent that they are free from negative energies and vibrating with their natural beauty.

Choosing a Crystal for its Healing Properties
The basis of crystal healing, as we see it, is that crystals can be employed as external vitimins to work on a
vibrational level in boosting and supporting our natural defence and well-being systems. We aim to guide you through the vast range of knowledge and clinical experience that we have learnt of and has been written about in the many books on the subject.
There are various methods, or approaches you can take. For example, by looking at the condition from a Chakra point of view, or maybe the elements. Many people opt for selecting from the relevant Birthstones. We're continually adding to our online library of information, hoping to provide you with all the help we're able to give if you're in the shop chatting to us.
There's a table of common complaints with a list of crystal suggestions, and a guide to using crystals around the home in our Healing Properties of Crystals page.
When choosing a crystal to for its healing properties, we suggest that you consider the person holistically. Evaluate their condition from a mental, emotional and physical perspective. We don't aim to treat the symptoms, but see them as expressions of a central disturbance in the vitality of the person. So ask for more detail about the condition and what lies behind it. For example, depression can be as a result of guilt, grief, loss of control, lack of freedom, etc.
It can help if you look at the current complaint or circumstance from different angles:
- How have they changed as a result?
- Has it affected their sleep, mood, appetite, temperature?
- What aspects are concomitant – happen at the same time and in direct relation to the ailment?
- What is their normal disposition? Can you perceive what aspect or chakra is out of balance?
Aim to decide upon at least three clear symptoms to base your prescription upon. Think of it as a 3-legged stool, any less and you can’t rest your case on it!
Once you've got a clear understanding of the person's state, and have decided upon the three key aspects that you want to match, then it is much easier to read more about each crystal without sensing that all have properties that will help!
We're working to build an all singing and dancing Crystal Selector that helps you identify the most helpful crystal from three key symptoms, but for now, it's a clever little tool to help you select from our increasing large range of stock based on a limited range of their properties.
The information we provide is based on our training, reading and clinical experience. It is offered for interest and as a guide. It should not be taken as an alternative to seeking professional medical advice. Always consult a GP if you have symptoms that persist or worry you.

Peter Kleiner, The Monk, etc - Crystals and Mineral Specimen's Provenance and Previously Owned By Information 
Peter Kleiner -
We feel very fortunate to have a collection crystals that were previously owned by the late Peter Kleiner. He was admired as a charismatic crystal teacher and was a co-founder of the Vibrational Healing Foundation in London. Peter Kleiner's life-long appreciation and understanding of crystals is reflected in each piece. They portray his eye for quality and each crystal has a unique vibration, guiding you to own and use them with love and respect.
The Monk -
Jhimpa, known to us as 'The Monk', is a crystal healer, gemmologist and at one time Buddhist Monk whose carefully selected crystals have a light vibration because of the way they have been cleansed and cared for. He gathers crystals from all corners of the earth and even beyond. 
The Master Hand-Carver of Wands
Known as The Master Hand-Carver of Wands, this enigmatic man works with the natural beauty and spirit of each crystal he shapes. His wands are not easily come by, normally only available through swapping for other precious crystals.

What our customers say about us
Rainbow Spirit has now had an online store for over a year, and in that time we've had some great feedback that we'd like to share with you. We always do our best to hand pick jewellery and crystals with the same care as if we were choosing them for ourselves, and pack and post them securely so they arrive in perfect condition - so it's great to hear that we're doing it right:
Salt Rock Lamps & Lights
Salt Rock lamps and t-light holders are hand crafted from huge deposits of crystallised salt from Himalayan mines. Each piece has its own unique
colouring and character.
CRYSTAL HEALING SIGNIFICANCE: Halite is the mineral name for salt crystal and it is valued by crystal healers for manifesting self-love,
blending the energies of the heart and solar-plexus chakras. This is useful for someone who needs to find time for their physical and spiritual well being.
PHYSICAL BENEFITS: The gentle heat of a Salt light generates ions
carrying a negative charge, improving the surrounding air and general health and well-being. It’s a similar atmosphere to standing next to a water fall or by the sea, giving good breathing space for relaxation, and
particularly beneficial for asthma or rheumatism.
CARE OF YOUR SALT LAMP OR T-LIGHT: Salt has hygroscopic
properties, and therefore it draws water—so never wash or wet your salt light and don’t keep it in a damp room or outdoors. If the light does gain moisture it may form crystals, which can be removed with a soft brush, or it may puddle. To avoid this, have it alight regularly so that it is maintained by dry heat.
We have many other crystals that have been shaped to hold tea light candles in the Rainbow Spirit shop. Beds of Amethyst points give a purple light and are associated with relief from stress or anxiety. Rose Quartz is ideal for the heart of the home with its pink glow and association with peace, love and harmony. Satin Spar Selenite grows in thin white strands that look like fibre optics, drawing light along their length. Visit us in Wadebrige to see the range.
