Phoenix Rising

"If I could give 0 stars I would. The older white woman (I believe the owner) is extremely rude. The vibes in this store are BAD and extremely unwelcoming, which is ironic considering the kind of store she owns. Crystal shops are typically welcoming and loving places, this owner and this store are the complete opposite. Also the stones are overpriced and many do not even have prices on them at all, with the lady pricing them “from memory.” Extremely bad vibes in here and there is no excuse for the owner’s behavior. Don’t have a business if you can’t act with basic human decency."

"This is a gorgeous shop, however it's really hard to enjoy it with who I believe to be the owner running it. While I was there she yelled rudely across the store at a group of customers that a book was out of their price range and they should put it down. She yelled at this family a good couple of times and was very snarky with them until they left. It was wildly unprofessional and horrific to see. Ontop of this, a lot of crystals are priced with one tiny, loose, handwritten sticker that floats to the bottom of a bowl and some of these bowls have multiple crystals with wildly different price ranges. You literally have to go desperately digging through them to try and figure out the price and hope they don't fall over the place. If you need to ask the owner the price you get a very snappy, condescending response. I misunderstood the price on something because it was on an eligible sticker lost in the bowl, and the owner was practically yelling at and arguing with me for asking a clarifying question. I was just trying to understand and be nice, but it was insane. Plus, a lot of the crystals are way overpriced to boot. You don't need to be spending that much money on those tiny pieces."

"I find more often than not, that metaphysical stores have big price markups. It has come to be an expectation as they tend to be smaller businesses. Just a note regarding the remarks about pricing. The places I've gone to in Snohomish county have similar price ranges. I suppose my attachment to this store over the years has been sentimental. My grandmother and mom took me here a lot as a small child. The smell and colors have stuck in my memories. I don't always make purchases, but I come through whenever I find a moment to do so. As an adult, I've learned that it's one of the larger metaphysical shops in the Pacific Northwest. It still holds value for me to this day. My partner and I spent a couple of hours mostly looking at the vast selection of books. We came in with the intention of finding a physical copy of "The Law of One". I did find book three pretty quickly, but decided to wait and get the full set later on. Perhaps it is the moon. But it feels more accurate to say that the books we purchased today found us. Not the other way around. Everything that happened felt very serendipitous. The staff member I did speak to helped me to the best of her abilities by searching a book I'd asked about. They didn't have it which was perfectly fine. We're very happy with our purchases. Thank you for a lovely experience. Walking through this shop always brings me back to my core."
