There's about 20,000 ft.² of rock, gem and prehistoric related items here. This is the ultimate place to get your mineral fix with thousands of fossils and gemstones to choose from. But that's not the only thing they sell here. You'll also find singing bowls, gongs, T-shirts, wind chimes, insence and literature on spiritualism. There's an additional area called the rock Depot where you could buy raw unfinished minerals by the ounce. If you have a fossil, rock or gem fetish, this place is second and none to get your metaphysical fix. The photos included should get you through the door.

Made an online order, several items were very unlike the photos…read more The Natural Blue Aquamarine Tube Cylinder beads are not as nice as advertised, with sharper edges, off axis holes, and a less lustrous polish. Almost a quarter of them have spurrs on them left over from cutting, and most of them are closer to 8mm long than they are to 10, with less than half being over 9mm long. The AAA Rare Natural Black Labradorite are actually just regular grey labradorite, so this is quite disappointing. On a positive note the strand is 16in long, so there's some bonus beads on there. I put it on a dark grey background like the listing photo to see if that would account for the color difference, and it definitely doesn't. The Natural Madagascar Mauve Pink Rose Quartz Teardrop Pendant is not as advertised, it is just a slightly grey rose quartz. I understand that lighting can change how things look, but this is more than that. I brought this up in an email the same day I received them, but was not able to return them within 14 days, so according to "policy" I'm SOL. Not happy with my order experience.

The "broom parking only" signs sealed the deal. The moment you step inside, it feels witchy and welcoming. Dark walls, beautiful artwork everywhere, and magical details in every corner. There are sooo many options for jewelry and jewelry building. Charms, chains, stones, and pieces to create something totally custom. It's thoughtfully curated, not overwhelming, and really fun to browse. One of my favorite parts was the little library nook. Shelves of witchy books, tarot, and magical reads that make you want to slow down and explore. It makes the shop feel like more than just a store. The artwork and designs throughout are incredible. Pottery, prints, candles, herbs, incense, tarot decks, and tons of unique handmade items you're not going to see everywhere else. The staff was also amazing. Kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help without being pushy at all. You can tell they love the space and what they do. If you love witchy shops, unique art, tarot, jewelry making, or hidden gems in Austin, this spot is absolutely worth a visit.
