    Super sweet owner and great selection!! So many different varieties of crystals and jewelry, super interesting fossils to look at as well. Great prices too :) Loved it!

    Stumbled upon this shop while walking in Del Mar and I wanted everything!! The cutest and coolest jewelry and crystals! The crystal jewelry they sell is unlike anything I've ever seen! Very special place to buy unique gifts and special heirlooms. The customer service is also 10/10. Will definitely be visiting again to add to my collection!

    Sibel was so amazing and helpful! There's such a great selection as well and we were able to find some beautiful jewelry here, customer service was lovely and we were able to get a ring we liked resized to fit. Thank you again Sibel! :)

    Such a fun place to go even if you're not planning on buying anything. It's like a museum! The crystals are so beautiful. The owner, Sibel, was so friendly and gave us such a great deal on two crystals that we absolutely love! Our purchase ended up being $150 total for the pair which is amazing considering they were originally $150 each! We will be back!

    It's a very nice shop with beautiful crystals and many great fossil pieces. The shopkeeper was very kind and helpful and she gave my mother and I each a small crystal to take home with us. I myself left with a homemade saltwater shell necklace. (I believe all of the jewelry in shop is handmade and it's all beautiful!) I highly recommend a stop inside if you every pass by this shop

    The shop owner helped us attach a replica of an Ancient Greek coin (their unique product!) to a leather chain - she was so wonderful !! This place is a hidden gem !

    Crystals and jewelry

    Such beautiful jewelry and crystals in this shop! The attention to the customer is awesome! I will 100% come back to shop for more pieces.

    The lady here was really nice and welcoming, definitely will be coming back my next San Diego trip :)

    I visited Elivia's crystal shop recently and was there for an hour looking at the wonderful spread…read moreof crystals. She was so helpful and explained the various properties and originations of the crystals I was interested in. I bought some Selenite, Bismuth, Labradorite, Yellow Calcite, Fluorite, Black Kyanite, Ocean Jasper, and Pink Tourmaline! The energy that Elivia has is so powerful and it was a lovely experience to meditate with different stones and realize their healing power for myself. I am definitely going to be coming back to buy more crystals because I use them when I meditate and they aid in the process of healing. Currently, she is accepting calls to learn more about her shop and where her shop is located. I definitely recommend setting up an appointment to visit her shop and check out the beautiful crystals and jewelry she has. I am going to visit soon and get some Selenite logs to put under my bed and give as gifts for my loved ones. Thank you Elivia for being such a sweet human being.

You'll want to be sure to call ahead for directions . You won't be disappointed. Looking for something special? It's a good bet you'll find it here. The owner Elivia, is so patient and knowledgeable. She's a spiritual medium who can "tune in" on the most amazing level- with rock that suit you !;She teaches all sorts of classes on crystals and singing bowls. The cool thing is that with each rock you buy, you get a short description on what it does. So if you forget, you'll always have her description. Plus if you lose the paper, you can always send her a photo and she'll help you out. I know because I did !! This is just some of the awesome crystals I've bought over the years.

    I've really enjoyed the Del Mar gem and mineral show in the past but it's getting pretty expensive…read morenow. I picked up a few strands of dark Turquoise beads that were a decent price but honestly, I'm not sure they're the real deal!? They have some flat sides? They charge $20 for parking which is absolutely ridiculous, the parking lot is huge,It's never full. It should be more around $7 dollars to park. You also have to pay admission to get in, if you sign up you get a coupon in the mail. They keep the building like an ice box, dress very warm if you're coming in the fall months !! Some of the vendors are pretty rude!, I don't know if it's a language barrier or what. Others are very nice and informative.

I understand the value of certain minerals increases or decreases, but this is absurd. Be wary of an asian wholesaler, one of the vendor's names is Mary. I was checking out yesterday and she was talking to maybe a friend, and her friends plucks something out of MY basket and says "oh that's mine. I left it there and you took it. I was looking at it first" she then proceeded to call me ugly in Cantonese to her other friend she was with, thinking I wouldn't be able to understand. The vendor didn't seem to care and offered a discount on what was left in my basket. She also kept talking to her "friends" in Cantonese while still checking me out. This was absolutely a disgusting and humiliating experience. I will never be shopping with her or her vendor again.
