Black Cat Minerals,

6170 West Grand Avenue, Gurnee, IL 60031

"Over several years I've randomly but regularly visited black cat minerals and not once was i disappointed. They always have a fantastic selection of minerals, both raw and polished. They carry the typical wares one would find in most metaphysical shops as well as a constantly changing eclectic selection of oddities and cat related items. The staff is friendly and engaging. The only issue I have with this store is my inability to stay within my planned budget for the stop."

"Today I was told that my sister went into this store, she has always come here & I would too, just to buy bracelet. But today she went in with my son, my son is a 3 year old that likes to pick up rocks from anywhere. It’s either the park or street. He likes to pick them up because as any other kid they have any type of collection, it’s either leaf’s, sticks, bugs, etc. my kids collections is apparently rocks. He tends to always grab any type of rock. So today there was an incident where my son saw rocks, mind you this is the first time he has ever come in this store, but he took rocks & put them in his pocket. The lady in this store yelled at my sister & accused her of making my son steal rocks for her. I’m sorry but 1. Who’s going to be stealing rocks?!?!?! & 2. He’s just a kid. A kid that likes to pick up rocks for his collection. I understand that that’s something that my son has to be taught about & have him understand that it’s wrong to do that in stores. But accusing someone of making a little kid steal some rocks is ridiculous. You don’t just go and accuse someone of stealing. How hard is it to respectfully go towards someone & tell them “hey, I just notice that your kid was putting rocks in his pockets. That’s something he shouldn’t be doing” or “just to let you know, please keep your kids hands to himself.” Or at least inform the adult. Also, at least give them the chance to explain. I will for sure not be coming back to this place. It was very unprofessional & disrespectful to just go around & accuse people of such thing. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with my race but sadly this will definitely not be my place to shop anymore."

"Had a wonderful visit this afternoon. The ladies who worked today were exceptionally kind and helpful. I was looking specifically for cat related items because I had just lost my 2nd cat earlier this week and my other cat 5 months ago and the owner is a cat lover also. I cannot thank you both enough for the kindness you showed me, the pet adoption info and for the tree of life which I will place near me always when I am resting at home. Thank you so much❤️ PS I forgot to ask what incense you were burning, it smelled so familiar."

"I love this store! I have been coming here for a few year's. Lots of crystals beautiful dream catcher's. This store is on the smaller side yet very nice! The employees are great too!"

"Didn’t get many pictures but it’s a very nice store, lots of things to choose from! Not very expensive either, I will come back again and take more pictures and shop."
