Colin Flett became a Newtonian in 1989 and has recently opened Stall No. 63 in the Indoor Market in Durham “The Rock and Fossil Shop” and you can see details on www.durhammarkets.org.uk He was a professional geologist who moved here from Essex in 1989 to work for a Consultancy in Spennymoor. Colin is single and his other interests include gardening, tropical fish and astronomy. He collected rocks, fossils and mineral specimens since he was a youngster and saw an opportunity in Durham and thought if he didn’t do it now he never would. “The feedback I have received so far from the public has been fantastic” said Colin.
His stock is aimed at serious collectors all the way down to ‘pocket-money’ purchases for children. There are also loads of polished stone gift lines. Call in and see Colin next time you are in Durham.
