Nice, ta I missed it, but immediately noticed the wrong link in RNZ write-up toward the end for Family Jewels (now omitted, so must have been notified) to a Dunedin Crystal shop.
A search found them noticing on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/FamilyJewelsRecords/ and quite a nice longer write-up here: 1964.co.nz/nelson-family-jewels-records/ after a shorter earlier $tuff article www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/95485027/grant-smithies-opens-record-shop-in-the-free-house-beer-garden

Mind you, I like crystals too.
And semi-precious gemstones. I have a faceted quartz crystal and a broken open half softball sized nondescript on the outside but inside a hollow space surrounded by amethyst crystals on the shelf above my 'office' desk. We used to pick up likely rocks on annual Coromandel holidays as kids for a few years. Dad built a tumbler to polish agates and jasper, chalcedony as well? But the above I bought in Oz decades ago. There's a green fluorite slab as well. The quartz crystal is pretty cool, almost reminiscent of some giant wrong stylus shape, about 30mm w 40mm h. Not cut, grown by itself, transparent. Astonishing! ;=}) <grin>

Happily RSD passes me by now that I no longer purchase lps.
Never had the thrill of lining up at an ungodly hour to buy something I really could live without.
