Our Story
The Amethyst Cathedral - previously known as “This Is It Universe” - was created by Elisabeth Michael over 35 years ago!
As a little girl, Elisabeth escaped with her Mother and Sister from their native Berlin during the Second World War. They found refuge with distant relations in England.
Elisabeth then trained in painting at art college and pursued a career in women’s fashion, beginning at Marks and Spencers and eventually opening her own clothing store in Crieff, Scotland. Her passion for art, colour, nature and healing inspired her to begin buying and selling crystals alongside her clothing. This is where the shop began to grow.
For nearly four decades Elisabeth served customers from far and wide, trading in high quality crystals from around the world. Her passion allowed her to work in her shop into her mid-80s!

Now aged 90, Elisabeth has passed the baton to her great-niece Lhamo Grace.
Just like her auntie Bessie, Lhamo is a creative and a healer. Having been on a healing journey for over 15 years, she is trained as a yoga teacher, a minded yoga therapist, a mindfulness and self-compassion teacher and a transformational life coach. Lhamo also teaches dreamwork.
Lhamo and her team at The Amethyst Cathedral are delighted to usher this magical shop into it's next stage of life. Our intention is to make The Amethyst Cathedral a flourishing hub of wellbeing, health, connection and creativity that her Aunt Elisabeth always intended it to be!
As well as selling crystals, incense, books, gifts and jewellery, The Amethyst Cathedral now includes a beautiful therapy room; where a collective of holistic therapists and coaches offer healing services including reiki, EFT, massage, yoga therapy and life coaching.
The main shop space is available for workshops too! Regular events include a women’s circle, and nature connection workshops with Nature Connects Perthshire CIC.
