Obsidian
Chelsi K.

Absolutely my favorite place in town! I picked out a beautiful obsidian piece and Ace wrapped it for me! I needed it in a rush and picked it up the next day! Also so many very unique pieces.

This is one of the most unique stores in Ridgecrest. The proprietor is named Wendi, but she goes by Ace, a second generation owner of Minerals Unlimited. I stopped by this little "gem" (no pun intended) just to have a look, and I happened to be in there with a very passionate customer who left with a whole box of minerals to use in his own collection. Anyone who have been to the American Museum of Natural History in NYC's mineral and enjoyed it will certainly spend a while browsing the drawers in here. The front door opens up to the warehouse, so just walk right through to the end which is the gift shop. Ace makes jewelry by hand, and also takes custom orders. I left with a bunch of fossil shark teeth and a brachiopod (a thing that looks like a clam but isn't even closely related) from the Paleozoic. I'll be back soon!

I have traveled to, through, or near Lone Pine for about 64 years. Lone Pine Rocks & Gifts has been…read moreon this corner most or all those decades. The Rock/Rock Hound business has gotten tougher over the decades. When gasoline was 25 cents a gallon, camping the way for families to stay outdoors, a lingering interest in wealth from stone and support for science from kindergarten to graduate school, it was fun and cool to search remote areas for interesting stones, have a rock/geology club and shows for selling the raw and processed finds. LPR&G surfed the trends. You will still find bins of polished stones for excited children. The front window displays ancient Morrocan solifified sea life polished to perfection next to beautiful geologist picks for exploring. Hot topic for 2026? Gold. Plastic pans sold out. Steel pans still stocked, a variety of books, atlases, specimen stones, and enough items of interest to stay in business another few decades.

I wanted to buy more but the lady behind the counter had an attitude and I was not sure why. I'm sure she wasn't aware of her demeanor but it was very unwelcoming and condescending. She also couldn't answer any of the questions I had about the crystals. I wanted to know what the stone my worry stones were made out of but she was unsure. I had a few other questions too but she had no answers to any of them. I also did not like how she spoke badly of the workers in the Alabama Hills Cafe. That left a bad impression on me. I also paid two visits to this shop hoping she was just having a bad day but both days were the same. I appreciated their set-up to keep people 6 feet apart. There were also signs on the door stating to use hand sanitizer and to wear a mask. Overall, I probably wouldn't return due to the customer service. However, their products are reasonably priced. Pay a visit if you're in the area and don't care for good customer service. Their shop is clean.

Hidden Gem(s) in Randsburg CA [Literally!!]…read more Honestly, I don't know much about these rocks and crystals and its mystical healing powers (if any). Is there scientific proof that these things work? I dunno the answer to these but all I know is that they are aesthetically pretty. The employee was starting to close up shop and putting the little containers away that were displayed outside under tents. Lots and lots of pretty rocks and crystals. I picked up an agate coaster and a "worry stone." I was ready to pay but had to go inside to ring my purchases with the owner. I walked inside then I saw wall to wall displays of MORE crystals and rocks. I was fascinated even though I have doubts in my mind if these just offered some kind of a placebo effect. I had a nice chat with Stephen, the owner, as he shared with me true experiences from some of the stones that I questioned. In any case, whether they work or not, I found them really pretty!

I asked the owner if I could add his store to yelp and my other reviews online to gain more recognition as they are so nice and have quite the selection of polished and raw crystals. If you don't know their healing properties, just look up the name online and learn about it. Every birth month has their corresponding crystal. If you do get one, get one that calls your attention. And don't forget to cleanse it when you get home. Look it up!;)

It's located in a little retail strip mall with other boutique size businesses. The shop had flowers for purchase, by bouquet or single stems. Gorgeous, fresh blooms just sitting pretty and joyful in large vases. They also had houseplants and local crafted items for purchase. The back patio adjoins to the next door's cafe patio area. The larger potted plants that are displayed on the patio adds to the chill, relaxing vibe. The shop clerk was welcoming and helpful.

I'm SAD to have to write a NEGATIVE review. I really wanted to support a local business. Regret…read morethe Choice of Dirt Botanicals. First off, delivery was BAD. NOT THE FLOWERS I PAID FOR. 1st photo is what I ordered. 2nd photo is what was delivered. They dumped water all over the mat. The WRONG card was included with NO address or indication who it was for, signed from people named Kerry and Lucious???Whom, my sister and husband don't know. Wondering who the flowers were for, they realized their neighbor (who's daughters name is Kerry) just passed away, so they took the flowers to them assuming they were delivered to the wrong address. When those neighbors called Dirt Botanicals and they figured out their mistake, they redelivered with correct card but WRONG flowers. What was delivered was super generic. I could have gotten a much better generic arrangement at Costco for 1/4 the price.
