Harry and Judith Holt became interested in collecting stones and fossils many many years ago. This interest was reflected in Judith’s original choice of career as a Geography teacher. From travelling throughout the UK to collect British stones and fossils they then began to firstly polish stones and then progressed to cutting. Using these stones they made Jewellery, and from these humble beginnings grew the business as it is today. Stones from around the world remains an abiding interest for them. The Milestone now stocks specimens from worldwide sources ranging in size from showpieces weighing several hundred pounds, to small pieces, which fit in the palm of your hand. With their extensive knowledge Harry and Judith can give you all the information you need about the stones they stock, from its location source to its composition and history. Many of our customers are also interested in the ‘Power of Crystals’ and ‘Feng Shui’ and we have sought to stock a wide range of high quality crystals such as Amethyst, Rock Crystal, Rose Quartz, etc. Whatever your interest in stones, everyone agrees that their sheer beauty enhances any home.

Not many people realise that Britain has a wide range of Fossils from many ages in history. We have many examples of Fossils from UK collecting sites such as Whitby in North Yorkshire and Lyme Regis in Dorset. We also have collections of beautiful and unusual Fossils from around the world such as Fossil Fish from Green River Valley in Wyoming USA. Also, as China now opens up to trade to the west, an ever-expanding range is becoming available to collectors, even tiny complete Dinosaurs!

Fossils provide the ideal gift, not just for the confirmed collector,
but also for ‘The Person Who Has Everything’ as the one item they are unlikely to own is a genuine
Fossil.
