Comment: I encourage everyone to please support local businesses this Christmas and buy gifts for loved ones from Henrys shop. I will be buying everyones gifts from him this year because during this economic time its so important to think about where your hard earned money goes and who it benefits. Henry told me today hes been at this location for 10 years and I would hate to see another business close down in our community because of capitalism, like the insane rent cost in downtown. I look forward to each visit to his shop and he has been unable to be open as often because of personal reasons.I have bought thousands of dollars worth of crystals and been to stores all over the place but this is my favorite place of all. Henry is so kind and will go over the crystal identifications with you and offer you little papers describing the healing properties of each one. I am so happy everytime I come here.I would like to address the negative reviews Ive read by sharing my own experiences in his shop.While it may seem unusual to not have prices on everything such as those in the bins. It is because those are priced by weight and I actually prefer this method over charging a set price for the range of sizes. If you are on a budget choose the smaller sizes. He calculates everything in front of you so he is not just making things up.So if you see more rare or expensive crystals choose the smaller weighted ones so you can still have it in your collection for not as expensive of a price.Also regarding his comments on please do not touch crystals on shelves etc. It is posted in large font everywhere in the store. It is not fair of you to be upset for him enforcing these rules when he is constantly robbed of his livelihood. I have seen adults and children all disregard his requests and claim they didnt know while I was shopping. While I understand children may not all be able to read or understand this it is an adults responsibility to teach a child to respect others possessions.He is willing to show you items on shelves with his assistance. When the store is busier Im sure he is more worried about theft and it is reasonable for him to remind people of the posted signs if people are getting their hands too close to such expensive crystals.I appreciate you so much for for the kind service the past 3 years I have visited your shop Henry. I treasure all the crystals I have bought from you. I hope I can continue to buy from you for many more years to come.

Comment: Joke: Do not touch the crystals ha. This is a very unique shop and give the owner a break anyone expecting Ritz-Carlton service. See what you like and ask if you touch. Ask for pricing and surely he can provide. A lot is sold on weight which with a small shop with 1,000s of unique items and inflation I do not think is totally off.Anyhow, what a selection!Operating a business in downtown Santa Cruz is tough and easy to get jaded (no pun intended) on people disrupting displays, stealing, and breaking things unfortunately.May respect and patience be returned in like-kind. Owning a small shop is tough. It is not metaphysical. Or is it?

Comment: I really love the gemstone collection in this store, and the owner is very helpful and friendly I came in one day with a silver ring that had lost its pearl, I was looking for something to replace it with, the owner diligently helped me look for a good fit and found a beautiful circular cut ruby...If your looking for gemstone beads or other DIY accessories this is a great place to look..

Comment: Just walking into this store filled with sparkling crystals and pretty, unique jewelry is a gift unto itself, but having someone there who is passionate and knowledgeable about what he sells takes the buying experience to the next level! I recently bought an amethyst bracelet there and just love it. This is a favorite stop of mine whenever I am in town.

Comment: Very very pleasant shop!! i always love coming here with my partner, the shopkeep is exceptionally friendly and helpful, but i had a lot of difficulty navigating the store in my bigass wheelchair. ableds will be a-okay tho, just make sure to be very nice! and dont do culturally appropriative witchcraft! ^^got a lovely piece of lumerian quartz here yesterday! wish i could have bought more pendants.edit: five stars, broke cord on the lumerian quartz i bought here yesterday. rewaxed with an old candle, retied with a new type of knot. coming back for a nicer chain for the piece, and hopefully some more stones and pendants. maybe some pearls if fortune seems in my favor. coming back for first fridays. 💚💚👁

Comment: An absolutely amazing store! By far my favorite one in California, it’s assortment is incredible!! I was able to find both raw and beautifully cut stones, and could stay there for hours without running out of new things to learn. The store owner was exceptionally knowledgeable about the physical qualities of gems, as well as the metaphysical properties. After my visit, I even received a few slips of paper that gave more information on the stones I purchased! Henry was very kind and attentive to my friends and I, and answered all our questions for items we looked into. This shop has certainly become my new go-to for my growing collection, and I’ll be sure to let others know about it. Thank you so much!

Comment: This is the sweetest shop with so many gorgeous crystals/stones/rocks! There’s an entire section of raw stones which are generally hard to find, and the prices are so reasonable. The owner was so knowledgeable and kind as well, and I will definitely be coming back when I visit Santa Cruz again! Highly recommend anyone interested in stones to check out this shop. You will be so happy you did!

Comment: Stellar experiences both times I have been here. I really like the owner of this shop; hes really nice. I got some gifts for a birthday party and some crystals for myself too! They are GORGEOUS. It was really hard to decide which to take home, and I just wanted everything. He didnt pressure me, but just let me drool in peace. I have other friends who like this shop too; probably not as fervently as I do, but hey, I am a crystal nut. I found his website and I am going to go browse. YIKES! :)

Comment: Went in several times. Henry was wonderfully kind and knowledgeable, and spent a few days identifying a huge portion of my rock and crystal collection that had been passed on to me. He answered a thousand different questions, gave me lots of ideas and new stones to look for, and was just all around very helpful and accommodating. Definitely the best rock and crystal shop Ive ever visited; Im sad to be leaving the state, but if I ever return this will be on my list of places to revisit! Thank you!
