"What a delightful stop!!! Stopped on a whim and boy am I get a did! We are able to complete some Christmas shoppin, it was hard there was so many choices. Prices were reasonable, shop had a beautiful flow and wonderfully organized! Owner was training and new employee and I was impressed with her gentle voice towards her young employee. Packaging had a great personal touch! Look forward to many more stops!"

"Very friendly atmosphere when walking into the shop! Lots of variety with their crystals, rocks, and minerals here, with an abundant selection from all over the world! Loved the little fact sheets about each area within the sections. Its like a little museum but you get to purchase and take home with you! Also theyre very great with kids, but make sure theyre careful too! Some pieces are very rare and hard to find, with mesmerizing patterns and unique qualities! Hopefully will be back soon, thanks again!"

"I have passed this store a few times, when I have been in the area and they are usually closed, but today was the day. I drove by and to my surprise they were open. What a great collection of items to look through! For a smaller store space, it took me twice as long as I thought to go through the items, because there was so much beauty to take in. The prices were similar to other places in the Chicagoland area, but I would say some of their specimens were higher quality than other places I have seen locally. I would highly recommend checking this place out when you have time! I already plan on going back this fall."

"First time visit was yesterday. Loved loved loved my experience. Christy the owner was so charming and helpful. She didn’t mind explaining the different variousness of the gem stones. We could have spent hours there. I left there feeling empowered and so incredibly happy. Looking forward to my next visit."
