An incredible collection of crystals sourced authentically. Everything is beautiful and the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Visited many stores throughout LA and OC and this is our final choice for any future purchases. We are beyond grateful for the new pieces added to our collection, and our home feels full of good energy.

Amazing collection of minerals, and now finished stones for new jewelers and silversmiths. Walt is one of the most knowledgeable geologists that I've ever met, a human encyclopedia of rocks from all over the place, just pulling verifiable information off of his head. Every specimen is meticulously labeled and identified. And he had THE largest fluorescent mineral collection I’ve ever seen in a store. Got a rock you don’t anything about? Walt can probably tell ya what it is. If you’re a serious collector or even one who just started, plan to spend an hour or two here. Not only will you walk out with something exceptional, you’ll know ten times more than when you walked in.

Walt, the owner, is extremely helpful and friendly. He has a immense selection of books, minerals, and fossils. The prices are very competitive, including with online stores. This is a very science based store, and Walt is happy to teach about the items you are interested in.

Questions & Answers

Do they have benitoite?

You mean our State's stone? If you want it, Walt can get it! Let him know the specifics. Be aware that faceted 1 CT gem quality, is more valuable than Diamonds, Emeralds or Rubies the same size! Depends on what you want.

Do you have men's opal ring?

Don't break it up, before you arrange to have Walt look at it!! Some of us prefer our quartz of any color, left intact!

I didn't see any when i went there earlier this month but he gets new stuff all the time. If you call or email him and tell him what you want he'll search his offsite storage/collection if its not in store.

Yes! They sell just about any type of semi-precious Stone you could imagine!! many come raw, polished and/or set in jewelry. the prices are amazing and the owners and employees are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! There are also reference books and fossils for sale, again, at very generous prices. For the avid enthusiast, ask about mining expeditions and field trips ❤❤❤
