It was about $20, so allowance will have to be saved up a little bit. But the pieces are beautiful, and the owner(?) was very patient with the kids even when it was clear we weren't going to be purchasing anything that day. And I think the kids learned more about rare minerals too. The normal elevator was apparently not working when we visited, though not labeled as such. We went up the freight elevator because walking up the stairs didn't seem too fun, even on leg day. Maybe down. Chrysalis is to your right as you exit the elevator, and around the corner. The door is not super exciting but we knocked and were invited in. Street parking out front is metered. There are public restrooms on the upper floors of the building. In any event, I am sure when the little one has a lemonade stand and has money burning a hole in their pocket we'll be back. If you like pretty stones or need an exotic gift, maybe you should too.

There's also a back room, with even more merch, mostly smaller sized crystals, and I really could have spent at least an hour here. There were gorgeous rutilated quartz, which I had never seen in person before. They do say that the crystals choose you, and this one locked onto me. Another name for the stone is cupids dart, which I love, because it looks like copper needles or darts are moving through out the crystal. This is a fun store to browse, learn more about unique stones.

The staff is always super friendly, like you've been a regular even if it's your first time in, and I gotta say: even the overhead Music is great! I've had some really great conversations with the employees, particularly Tim, who is just an all out "Nice Guy", and everyone is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and "Customer Service Friendly" - which is a rarity these days.

Went home with a beautiful rose quartz palm stone and a handful of little guys. Happy day
