Originally from Quebec, I have been living in New Zealand for many years. I visited Geomania during the Christmas/New Year 2025 to find pale imitations of Māori Pounamu pendants and jewellery in "Canadian Jade". There was no mention of the native people of New Zealand, no mention of what Pounamu (NZ Jade) represents for the Māoris, and no information on the designs selected (e.g. fishhook (Matau) - Teardrop (Roimata), etc.). In my book, this is called CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, which is a practice that a lot of us no longer support in 2025. The pieces exhibited were showcased under "Les Pierres du Québec - Le Jade du Canada" in the small adjacent room. This was shocking for us to see. We had intended to purchase a little souvenir before leaving, instead we left the shop to never return. Please do not claim Māori art as "Québec" original pieces and sell this at a huge cost to tourists. There are an abundance of beautiful indigenous art and designs in the province and in Canada that could be showcased instead. A big disapointement. I wasn't proud to be a Quebecker when I saw this.

Beautiful displays, friendly employees, and a huge variety of gemstones to either admire from afar (the large and expensive ones) or buy at reasonable prices (small ones, jewelry, individual stones). I myself got a moss agate bracelet for just $30, and saw many other pieces of jewelry priced similarly. I would highly recommend stopping by here if you’re in the city.
