About Us
Blue Water Crystals
The “Blue Water” in our name is derived from where we’re from. We’re located in scenic Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Havasu is an Indian name that actually means “Blue Water”. We’re also the home of the world famous London Bridge. There’s some pictures below and it’s back story. Contrary to what some may have heard, it’s the real deal and not some gimmick. Since it’s being erected here in 1968, a thriving city of 50,000 residents has grown up around it.
We’ve been selling online since 2000 and take great pride in always trying to take the time to treat our customers the old fashioned way, with tremendous respect and appreciation.

The London Bridge
The focal point of Lake Havasu is the towering walls and archways of the London Bridge that has stood in the waters of the Colorado River for more than 25 years. The Bridge serves as the backdrop to the English Village that has grown up around it. The village is filled with Tudor-style buildings and charming shops creating an atmosphere of Medieval England. Many visitors are surprised when they learn this is the original London Bridge and not a gimmick.
The London Bridge As It Sits Today In Lake Havasu City
For more than 140 years, London Bridge served as a crossing over the River Thames in London, England. It survived both world wars and a terrorist attack in 1884. So why did London want to remove such a significant landmark? And how did the London Bridge end up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona?
The London Bridge had survived many historic events, but not nature’s sinking forces. The Bridge began to sink into the River Thames and in 1968, the city of London decided to sell it for 2.5 million dollars to Robert P. McCulloch, founder of Lake Havasu City.
It took 3 years and another 7 million dollars to dismantle, ship and rebuild the bridge. Today, the London Bridge connects Lake Havasu City with an island in the lake. Its massive body of stone brings the essence of England to Arizona.
