I have always found that the more you know about crystals the easier life gets.  With this in mind, I decided to visit Geofossils, a popular crystal shop located by Twickenham stadium. Crystals are said to be helpful for cleansing the mind, body, and soul and many use them to bring positivity into their lives. The crystals found in Kim Robinson’s  shop come in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. With social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram playing a huge role in the business, promoting specific events and limited edition products, profits increased by 40% in the course of Covid 19. 

However, it’s not all about the money for Kim, ‘I like what I do, if it became about the money it would change. I love how we carry on developing ideas. There is no pressure’. Geofossils give good recommendations depending on your needs and so there is guaranteed to be a crystal for you! From alleviating amethyst to rejuvenating rose quartz, which promotes power through self-love and friendship, these mystical minerals are sure to comfort those enduring struggles in their life. Famous American socialite Kim Kardashian is a prime example of someone who has used crystals to help her during sorrowful times. After being robbed and held at gunpoint in 2016, these calming stones allowed her to transform her world, her love for crystals inspiring a new fragrance range designed to carry out these same healing and soothing properties.

The layout of the small shop has a tardis-like feel about it; the hundreds of different rocks displayed invitingly allow you to see them all in their full beauty of colour, even as you enter! It is no surprise crystal expert Kim feels so passionate about her business, and she believes that she is ‘very fortunate [she] gets to do what [she] loves.’  

Her love for crystals entwines itself into her daily life. She says ‘I walk around and my desk is full of crystals, if you look at my bag there are at least 20 crystals’. With a flourishing business, and an easy-to-use website Geofossils is definitely worth a try.
