Been wanting to visit here several times and was shut. Finally found the place open , walked inside to be rudely told they would be closing in 5 mins ad they were busy. Should have walked out then and there but managed to have a quick look around while owners yelled and complained. Masks are mandathatmandanot for the owners it seems. Asked if they had a certain item and was told no and besides, that was well beyond my price range according to owners. Not a nice experience and will not be back or recommend. Shame really.....

First time visiting today and I think it will be a regular stop off from now on. Lovely helpful staff and such a great selection of rocks, crystals and gems. Well worth a visit. The place is huge old and dusty but that just adds character.

Nice people there, super friendly. Awesome place for gifts and beautifully crafted things. Not a lot of places like this that sell gems and special rocks left. Great place.
