About Tali and Loz

Where mineral science meets traditional crystal wisdom.

Tali & Loz is an independent UK retailer specialising in collectable crystals, minerals, gemstones and gemstone jewellery. Founded by Laura Konst in 2020, the business is based in Surrey, England, and brings together an interest in mineral science, geological knowledge and traditional crystal wisdom.

Our collections include natural mineral specimens, rare and unusual crystals, tektites, meteorites and gemstone jewellery, alongside selected pre-loved pieces. We look for specimens with interesting formations, distinctive characteristics and individual appeal, whether valued for their geological significance, collectability or natural beauty.

We believe there is more to a mineral than meets the eye. Understanding how it formed, where it comes from and what makes it distinctive adds another dimension to appreciating it. This curiosity, combined with an interest in traditional crystal practices, shapes everything we do.

Whether you are an experienced collector, a gemstone enthusiast or simply curious about the world of crystals and minerals, we aim to make discovering and learning about them an enjoyable experience.

Our Sourcing Philosophy

We believe the story behind a specimen is just as interesting as the specimen itself.

Where possible, we hand-select minerals and gemstones at specialist shows in the UK and abroad. We also work with a trusted network of suppliers and acquire pre-loved collections, giving older and often unusual specimens the opportunity to find new homes.

Our focus is on quality, provenance, natural formation and individuality. We take a considered approach to sourcing, building relationships with suppliers who share our appreciation for minerals and the importance of understanding where they come from.

Rather than simply following trends, we look for pieces that have something interesting to offer, from unusual crystal formations and uncommon mineral combinations to distinctive localities and collectable material.

Our Approach

We offer a personal service for customers looking for something beyond an everyday purchase.

Whether you have a particular mineral in mind, are searching for an unusual addition to your collection or would like help finding a special piece, we can assist with individual sourcing requests.

Our services also include custom gemstone jewellery and selecting mineral specimens and decorative pieces for interior spaces. Drawing on our supplier network and experience in specialist sourcing, we enjoy helping customers find pieces that suit their interests, collections and requirements.

Although our physical showroom is now closed, we continue to offer one-to-one consultations by WhatsApp video. Customers can also arrange to meet us at the Reigate Pop-up shop.
