I always find so many lovely treasures here! I love the mix of carved and raw and fun pieces! It’s always been a calm space to explore. There’s a bunch of things in this small space but it doesn’t feel crammed together.

I walked into this shop expecting to browse for a few minutes… and walked out feeling like I had just stepped out of a completely different world. The energy in here is unreal — warm, grounding, and honestly just good for the soul. Every crystal is displayed beautifully and you can tell they don’t just stock items… they curate them with intention. The quality is next-level. I picked up a piece of amethyst that genuinely looks like it belongs in a museum, and the prices were more than fair for how premium everything is. What really sets this place apart, though, is the vibe. You can feel the owner’s passion and knowledge in every corner of the shop. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned collector, they make you feel welcome, seen, and excited to explore. I left with crystals I absolutely love, but also with this unexpected sense of peace and clarity — like the shop itself is part retail, part sanctuary. If you’re even thinking about getting crystals, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It’s one of those rare spots that stays with you long after you’ve left. 💎✨

So, I've seen this place from the outside many times. in all honesty I thought, "Hmm must not have much because it appeared so small on the outside...", I've never been so wrong in my entire life. I was thrilled upon walking in and seeing so much of everything. Natalie was a real gem herself in helping me with all my awe and questions. she said to come back and speak to JuJu. The most calming experience ever and I was educated on some things about raw garnets. Just a spectacular moment in time for me. Thank you sooo much for blessing me with your entire store as well as the both of you .. Natalie and JuJu.

Neat place with a ton of minerals to choose from. Pretty sure this was the most diverse selection out of the shops I've been to in the Austin area. Even found various shapes of pure synthetic ruby, a couple uranium pieces, and an apatite obelisk to start my tower collection. Everything was organized by design which was easy to navigate. The owner knew a lot about UV-reactive minerals and showed me lots of stuff I had not seen before. Will have to visit again!

This is my new favorite crystal shop in Austin! The owner Jeremy and his staff are so helpful and knowledgeable of the incredibly curated selection of crystals and metaphysical tools available. Make sure to keep checking back since they are always bringing in a literal ton of new crystals from around the world and gem shows! I always end up losing track of time when I’m there 😅 that’s a great thing though I have so much fun talking to the staff and looking at all the crystals. My most favorite specimens are from Shiny Things For Shiny People and I shop for my friends gifts there too 💗
