'Some customers spend as much as £50 a week here, but we have products starting from £1 upwards'
Located on The Colonnades at the Royal Albert Dock, Natures Treasure is a family-run shop specialising in crystals, minerals and jewellery.
Clare Pryal, 47, from Bromborough has been working at her family's shop since she was 11. Explaining the history behind the business, she said: "Natures Treasure has always been based on the Albert Dock and is the longest standing shop in the area. We started out in the Anchor Courtyard, where my nan and grandad used to run the shop from a cart."We started out selling real leaves, from there we moved to natural items before we started selling in the shop.
"Crystals have definitely become more popular over the years. It took time for everyone to be able to understand them. The most popular products we sell are the crystals and the jewellery. Crystals have become huge now." "There's plenty of loyal regulars too, who have now become friends that we know by name. We get young kids coming in and asking us for advice - some as young as six who are starting their own collections. Teenagers love buying our chip bracelets.
