I love that shopping here is by appointment only because as an introvert it allows for a better shopping experience ,you literally have the whole place to yourself! There are thousands of different mineral specimens from all around the world to choose from and the owner is always super sweet and eager to share her knowledge & show me new crystals.on my last visit I picked up this really cool Sulphur piece with tiny fluorite cubes on it & the owner was kind enough to throw in a gift (which I really appreciate 🫶🏾❤️🥰). I highly recommend stopping by you will not be disappointed.(just make sure you call & book an appointment first!)

Wish I knew more about the store and inventory. I called and left a message as it's appointment only, got one text asking about when I was available then heard nothing back for 3 days then replied again and no answer still 3 more days later. If its going to be appointment only they should manage their phone line better. Would have loved to give them my business but with this kind of hassle it is already not worth it

Great selection of rocks and minerals. The owner was very accommodating of my schedule as I was bringing some out-of-town guests in to buy specific pieces. We couldn’t arrive during normal business hours, and she stayed open for a later appointment. She was very helpful as we rushed through the store and matched our energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this store, but make sure to make an appointment !

It was a painful experience for me and the disabled elderly woman that accompanied me. Everything about the energy of the person there felt unwelcoming. The lady I was working for was using a walker and was visibly struggling to breathe and walk but we went completely unnoticed for over 15 minutes as the customers ahead of us rang out. It literally was like we didn't exist. It's fine if people want to be friendly and chat, but the surreal part was that we were openly ignored and there was no sense that it mattered that we were there, or that one of us might struggle to be upright for long periods of time.

Even when I called ahead to make sure they were open I was met with a level of irritation and aggression that sent my heart racing.

I would recommend not going here is you're sensitive, disabled, or an empath. The energy was so chaotic and oppressive and sad. Yes, the crystals were beautiful, that is undeniable, but the energy they lived in was the opposite. At least in the day we went. Maybe some days the person working there is bright and caring?

We left feeling noticeably shaken by the experience. I understand everyone is struggling these days, but I'm not sure it's a good reason to treat people with so little care? Maybe it is, but it felt bad and disorienting to us.

Lastly, this might not be true, but to me it felt like the crystals were seen as just beautiful objects that people collect to make their homes pretty. I guess if that's what people are into then that's cool, but if you're sensitive to such things then it might not be the right place for you. They didn't seem valued in the way that other stores value them, for their healing properties. It's possible I'm wrong about this part. I hope so!

I usually feel uncomfortable leaving negative reviews but i feel like metaphysical shopping is special so I want to warn- the lady’s vibes are really off. You have to call to get in & I watched her ignore my call once & then I had to wait “while she finished a meeting”. Then she was loudly talking to this dude kind of complaining about other staff & pricing. I’d say 70% of the shop is polished & tumbled. She really overcharged me for rose quartz. I asked her the price per lb after she weighed it & she said she uses kilograms lol uhhh? $55 for what was $25 at Ed’s house of gems.

I was in a pinch for the stones so I overpaid but had to clear the energy hardcore. I’d never return. Cute dog tho.

I’ve been to a ton of rock/crystal shops all over the country and this was definitely one of my favorites. The selection is insane. They have so many that it’s no wonder the pricing isn’t labeled on each. We collected a bunch that we connected with and put them upfront with the owner who reviewed pricing with us. We chose our favorites from the pile and she worked with the budget we had since there were several larger pieces we wanted. It’s very hard to find large pieces like she offers. Most places have small options but they don’t hold the same value.

I will mention that the shop was originally a warehouse so it is appointment only so be sure to call! We were able to be accommodated right away.

I had several handmade items in her shop for consignment and she stole them. Including a large 2 part Agatized amethyst geode with calcite on a large black metal stand on display she refuses to return. She is a thief and a liar
