Inside a shop on Albert Dock, all kinds of crystals are glistening in the sunlight.
As I step inside I'm greeted by Lisa Williams and Serene Orford, who despite their age difference are both united in their love of crystals and the impact they say they have had on their lives. During their time working at Nature's Treasure, Lisa, 53, and Serene, 26, have seen a range of different demographics turning to crystals for help with everything from sleepless nights to depression and the menopause.
From amethyst to rose quartz and tigers eye, the shop sells stones ranging from £1 to over £4,000. But it's the belief that crystals contain healing properties that has made them so popular in recent years, as well as their aesthetic qualities.
