About us

Fluorite Crystals is a family run affair, owned by Laddie and Janette Crabb with their son Jimmy.

Laddie has had a life long love of minerals, fossils and all things related, but spent a life time in the construction business working for large aluminium shop front companies. Fate finally dealt a kind hand when he teamed up with his eldest son Jimmy, to start Fluorite Crystals

Jimmy has been  a mineral wholesaler and web designer for many years and now specialises in creating websites  for mineral dealers. His skills and contacts, along with Laddie's years of business experience and love of minerals form the nuclease of the dynamic team that is Fluorite Crystals.

OK - these 2 hard headed rock nuts would spend every moment of the day digging for and playing with rocks, and so need a moderating influence to ensure they do what has to be done. Enter the other member of the team - Jeanette Crabb (aka Mom ) and sister Cherie

So basically Laddie takes care of the day to day running and admin, Cherie is the customer liason person Jeanette is the Chief packer and shipper to the site while Jimmy takes care of all the webdesign, programming and sourcing of stock
