A very spacious showfloor for shiny stones.
If you're looking for large, high-end crystal showpieces this is definitely the place. The bulk of the store is made up of very sizeable chunks of crystal; carnelian, amethyst, all sorts of quartz. [A nearly absurd amount of quartz tbh] clear, smoky, rose, Himalayan, citrine, clear, tangerine, milky...oh yeah. And clear quartz!
The front half of the store is chock-full of bins, bowls, & trays full of much smaller crystals [mostly tumbled stones, polished obelisks, and pre-cut pendants] The size and variety are ideal for the casual rock enjoyer. However, both casual & seasoned rock enthusiasts might find the pricing to be a little less than ideal. Think something along the lines of 4~7$ for a shard of basic quartz less than an inch long.
When checking online reviews be mindful of the posting dates as this space actually used to belong to a completely different rock shop. It would seem whatever locals used to own this space had a slightly different approach to selling & pricing out their wares.
Visitors who look at their receipt might notice a completely different business name from what is on the building. Much like smoky quartz, this information is a little unclear if you don't know where to look. It turns out "Old Town Rocks" in Cottonwood is just a branch of Peace Place Gifts in Sedona. While Sedona is a lovely place it has also become a bit infamous lately for exorbitantly priced rocks aimed at tourists. Despite the difference in names the cottonwood location has also fallen to the spectre of Sedona crystal pricing.
It is very clean & easy to navigate the showfloor though. If you're looking for a chunk of amethyst the size of a small child this location has plenty of unique cuts! read more
