If you're in San Francisco and have any interest in crystals, the Stone room in Berkely is an absolute must-visit. I am from Toronto and was in town for my cousin's wedding and was looking for a beautiful gift for the newlyweds and this store delivered. The moment you walk in, you can feel the care and intention behind every detail. Their collection is truly outstanding--filled with rare, exceptional pieces that honestly feel like they belong in a museum. You can tell a lot of care goes into curating such high-quality crystals. What really sets this place apart is the depth of knowledge. The Owners Tenzin and Tashi are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, offering thoughtful insights into each stone. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just curious, they make the experience engaging and approachable. Everything is beautifully displayed, making it easy to explore and discover something special. You can tell they prioritize quality and authenticity in every piece they carry. The positive energy throughout the store makes you want to stay and take it all in! A true gem in San Francisco--highly recommended if you're looking for unique, high-quality crystals and an exceptional experience. I am looking forward to my visits in future!! read more

First time visiting this local store. There are many selection with some unique pieces. Basically they have all crystals you can think of. They also have crystal beads if you want to DIY and also many jewelry pieces to choose. Price is fair for local store. read more

My husband and I LOVE the Stone Room (and their Berkeley location, Stone Room 2!). Tashi and Tenzin, the store owners, are wonderful, and we always love connecting with them. They are truly kindhearted, generous, lovely people. We have also always found their staff to be friendly and helpful. Stone Room is excellent for beginner crystal enthusiasts all the way to serious crystal connoisseurs. Folks who are just getting into crystals can find many different pieces (tumbled, raw, and points) that are beautiful and wonderful to work with/meditate with. For serious crystal collectors, they have many one-of-a-kind collector's pieces. They source from all over the world, and Tashi often travels to different crystal shows and locations to hand-select pieces. They of course have crystals of all styles beyond what I listed here - crystal trees, towers, flames, carved, and more. Whenever you go to shop, you can also ask Tashi, Tenzin, or other staff for recommendations based on what you are looking for. Stone Room has a huge selection across two stores and also a whole incredible warehouse! At the Albany location, I always love looking in the window and the area further back in the shop as they have such amazing, large, high-quality pieces on display there. They also carry real moldavite (extremely powerful crystals for those in the know!). There are some wonderful steals on for clearance too. Great for someone looking for high-quality crystals for a great price! If you are looking for a crystal for yourself or as a gift, I highly recommend Stone Room. The quality and service there is excellent, and the energy of the store is wonderful too! read more

My grandson is currently interested in rocks. I found the Stone Room on Yelp. The store selection is huge. So many unique and quality choices of crystal, rocks, minerals and polished stones. We were overwhelmed (in a good way). I will be returning with my adult daughter sometime soon so she can purchase a stone (or two) of her own. The service was exceptional; so patient, so helpful, so kind. The Stone Room offers a wide range of prices to fit any budget. read more

The Stone Room is something you just have to experience. Walking in feels like stepping into another world--one that's filled with the magic of crystals and stones. The museum staff are incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the atmosphere that feels perfectly in tune with the space. Plus, the prices are more than reasonable, especially for something this special. Honestly, just go see for yourself--you won't regret it. read more

This was my first time in the store. In 2017 Alan and I window=shopped and admired on our way to dinner at Cugini. I tried to come in Tuesday on the way from Flowerland but they were closed so I returned today. I had in mind a geode for the garden. There was a nice one on the 50% off shelf, w/ the caution to lift it w/ both hands so I waited for assistance. A sweet young woman wrapped up the geode and put it in a sturdy handle bag. When I was rung up the cost wasn't inconsequential even at 50% but my feeling is what use is money if you can't use it to buy what you need or want and I'm fortunate enough to be able to do that. Both young women asked me if I needed help w/ it out to the car and eventually I accepted help. Now the bag is working its way into the house, currently on the landing outside the living room. read more

Store is incredibly overpriced. It looks like a lot of their stock is from Temu or some other cheap supplier and marked up 10x or more. You can literally see the exact same stuff on Temu. Overall quality was lacking. Not a lot of special pieces and of the ones that were there, they were thousands of dollars. Store is very small and store workers intensely stare at you and follow you while you browse. I figured that they probably deal with a lot of theft but it just kind of made me want to leave quickly. The location of the store is nice, why not go to the gem show in Tucson and source some real quality instead of cheap, bulk, Temu stuff? read more

My favorite shop :) So many treasures and a nice range of sizes and prices. You can always find something you need here and they're very nice and knowledgeable. read more

Very clutter and overpriced, but there are a nice couple of pieces.. many of the pieces are the same

This is a small store with lots of beautiful crystals, stones, rocks and jewelry. The owner is very nice. If you buy a stretchy bracelet and it's too big, she will restring it to fit your wrist at no additional cost. I bought three bracelets and she restrung them to fit while I wait for a few minutes. read more

This was my first time visiting this location, and while it's smaller than the Berkeley store, it's just as special. The owner was incredibly helpful and guided me to a great book, which I enjoyed reading all evening. The prices are slightly higher than the Berkeley location, but the welcoming and friendly environment makes it well worth a visit. read more

The owner and his daughter were both so kind and helpful! They have an incredible variety as well as great pricing. Everything inside the shop is so beautiful & mesmerizing, I'd HIGHLY recommend checking this gem out!! read more

I have visited many of the crystal shops around the Bay Area, but none have gravitationally pulled me in like Stone Room has. I started visiting Stone Room 2 back in December 2022, but the Stone Room in Albany has been the store that I frequent the most. Majority of my crystals have come from them, and I am very thankful for their wisdom and their beautiful stones that come from all over the globe. All of the crystals that you see in this shop are hand-selected and brought back from various states and countries. It's seldom that you find places that have both highly knowledgeable people that are able to answer questions and fulfill your metaphysical needs while also maintaining the correct ambience for the crystals themselves. As you walk into this little shop, you are immediately swept away by the beautiful and harmonious energies that the crystals emit openly with calming, meditative music gently playing in the background. All around you nestled on glass and wooden shelves and along the floor in various containers are crystals of bountiful shapes, sizes, colors, and vibrational frequencies. Unlike other crystal shops that place descriptions for each crystal, majority of the crystals at Stone Room will simply have the name, and potentially its state/country of origin. Their sister store Stone Room 2, being the larger store, will have descriptions, but that is partially because they tend to get a bit busier being next to Berkeley City College, UC Berkeley up the street, and location-wise being in the heart of Berkeley on University. This shop is a bit small, and can only house a select few people at a time, but the crystals within are hidden gems themselves. Aside from raw, tumbled, and variously shaped stones, the shop also offers books (metaphysical/spiritual-oriented, crystal information etc), tarot, pendulums, sage, palo santo, candles, and a plethora of jewelry options (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc.) I suggest that if you are looking for jewelry, books, or pendulums specifically to check out Stone Room 2, as their store is bigger and they house a larger selection of those items. However, Stone Room does carry them as well, just not as copious. At Stone Room, you will often be met by Tenzin, who practically has an encyclopedia of knowledge within her mind. Any questions you have about any of the crystals within her shop will be answered diligently and informatively. She has definitely been one of my biggest resources in developing my spiritual growth and intuitiveness within my own personal life. I have positively grown so much over the last 6 months that I have been working with her and her husband Tashi and I am forever grateful for any wisdom, knowledge, and most of all, crystals for my own practice. I am unapologetically one of their frequent customers for the sole reason that they are my strongest resource for my own spiritual development through these wonderful stones, and they always have what I need when I arrive. Did I mention that I have only been visiting these shops for 6 months? I have had this conversation with Tashi, Tenzin's husband, and it honestly feels much longer than that. As if I have known them and have been working with them for years now. Their generosity, hospitality, and willingness to assist you are always present, and it is apparent that they want to aid you in however way they can to help pave the way for you and your personal journey through this life. I always leave this shop feeling refreshed, revitalized, and at peace. Whether you are drawn to the beauty of these minerals and stones that emerge from our earth, are tapping into your third eye, are wanting to balance your chakras, or have any other metaphysical or spiritual endeavors that need to be nurtured, Stone Room is by far one of the best crystal shops in the East Bay with knowledgeable owners that will tend to your needs. read more

I love the Stone Room! It has a great selection of crystals and stones at very fair prices. They also have a fantastic assortment of gemstone beads. Tenzin is always delightful and knowledgeable to work with. I have picked up some great stones here, and I know they are sourced in the best way possible via Tashi's travels and direct relationships with suppliers in each country. Most crystal stores that buy from gem shows and have no idea where their products are coming from, so I feel far better about buying from The Stone Room. read more

This is an excellent crystal shop. It has a good selection of crystals and the owner, Tenzin, is very helpful and kind. Parking is easy to find. They also own Stone Room 2 in Berkeley which is bigger, with a wide selection, and close by. Tashi, at Stone Room 2, is also super helpful, kind, and generous and they both make their customers feel welcomed and at ease. It's a unique experience to have such kind, generous, and knowledgeable owners which makes for a wonderful experience at both shops. They also give back a lot to the community. Truly both wonderful people. Definitely the best experience I've had at a crystal store yet! I will be bringing my mom when she visits. read more

I have picked up a number of gems from the Stone Room, and I miss it so much. Since moving down to LA, I have yet to find another shop as authentic and real as this place. I've picked up individual stones that I keep in my nightstand, bracelets to wear, and other little stones I like to keep around. I am planning a trip to the Bay Area next month and will definitely be stopping by. Thank you for everything you do! read more

5 star is not enough for this amazing store! My mother, daughter and I just started visiting recently but we feel like we've known owners Tenzin and Tashi for years...like family! I can't explain how loving, caring and genuine they are! They have a beautiful uniqueness about them not to mention the abundance of knowledge they have about crystals and every item they have in the store. They are not your typical seller because they're not just there to make a buck. They're there to help, share and spread their wealth of knowledge and wisdom and most of all the love that all humans should and need to have within themselves. To me this is more like a temple not a store. As you walk through the door you feel the positive energy immediately!! EVERY single time we visit we stay for several hours just talking about the beautiful pieces they have and LIFE in general! It is such a joy to see and chat with them. My family and I feel so blessed to have met them and look forward to having a long term relationship! Writing this review is not enough to show our gratitude! So YES, if you're looking for authentic, unique crystals/gensand positive energy, this IS the place to go! Peace & Love...Flo, Nancy & Jamie read more

Wild experience in the stone room. So many stones, gems, minerals from around the globe - the variety is insane. Items from $1- 10,000. Shops like this always make me question whether it is ethically sourced from the parent country. The owners are incredibly friendly and talkative but be prepared to be followed around everywhere and scrutinized since the thieves have ruined it for everyone. read more

Excellent service and knowledgeable about stones and crystals. Beautiful shop. Very good collection of stones- especially for starter gemstone grids. read more

A marvelous sanctuary to visit, wander within and feel vibratory brilliance. And if crystal vibes are not your thing, the visual splendor of nature's marvels will captivate your eyes! The owners are wonderful people, deeply spiritual and very knowledgeable about all things stone and crystal. Recently they hosted Tibetan Buddhist Monks to create a sand mandala in their warehouse, spending a week in creation. We were invited to witness both the creation of the Mandala and ultimately the ceremony of blessing and removal wherein each participant received a small bag of the sand to bring home for our own house blessing. To witness so close the creation and this ceremony up close is quite a rare treat. If interested ask about their connection to the greater Tibetan Buddhist community. read more

I am new to the neighborhood and walked by here and decided to stop in. I am so glad I did. Tenzin was so kind and helpful and I can tell the passion she has for her business. There is also such a variety, I'm not super into crystals and stones but still found some things that really felt special and fit my lifestyle. Also there is not pressure or feeling of being followed, the employees truly want you to be able to explore and learn and help in any way. I will definitely be back and can't wait to get more goodies from here! read more

I like this location a bit more than the University Ave location because of parking. There are definitely bigger towers and crystals there than the University Ave location. Another thing that's different here and why I wanted to post a review for the original location is: they will make jewelry for you. If you see a bracelet you like, but the size is too big- they will make you a custom piece. For me, they made this beautiful lapis lazuli and blue apatite bracelet when the blue apatite bracelet they had was too big. This is also on top of their already great collection of crystals. Thanks Ttashi! :) read more

This review is long overdue after visiting Stone Room several times this year. I was searching Yelp for Bay Area crystal shops and decided to make the drive to Albany one weekend. I'm so glad I did! Once I stepped foot into the shop, it felt like fate. I was quickly surrounded by warm, positive, and healing vibes. The owners, Tashi and Tenzen, are two of the most genuinely caring and helpful people I've met on my spiritual journey. They are very knowledgeable on each crystal type, the origin, and their healing properties. All the employees and helpers I've met are extremely warm and nice as well. Their prices are very reasonable for the Bay Area and they offer a wide range to choose from. You definitely get what you pay for here. No matter if you're a beginner to crystals, a long-time collector, or even a collector of rare minerals and specimens, Stone Room has beautiful high quality pieces for everyone. They offer so many unique pieces if you're looking for something absolutely special to add to your collection and home. I know I'll find exactly what I need during each visit. I also love that they are constantly getting new inventory from the best sources. There are always new crystals and items to admire, making each visit magical. You can feel the positive intentions of the store from the moment you walk in. This has become my go-to crystal shop that I tell all my friends about, especially when they're looking for some sort of life or spiritual guidance. Whenever I need to clear and recenter my mind, I come here. I highly recommend visiting Stone Room to add some good energy into your day. read more

I happened to stop by the Stone Room and was welcomed by the owner (later, I learned her name is Tenzin). More than just customer service, I sensed a very calm and kind presence from her. While I was mesmerized by the collection, she gave me helpful guidance about the stones in relation to each chakra, which led to a more enjoyable conversation, later joined by her husband, whose energy was very much similar to Tenzin. They shared with me about the upcoming event, Sand Mandala, which I find fascinating. I really enjoyed talking with them so much that I was there almost an hour. I found a beautiful blue stone that spoke to me and got myself a gift for 2024. I felt very touched to realize that they sell more than healing stones and do so much more for the community they are part of, which made me want to support the local business even more going forward. read more

great selection of crystals and really helpful and knowledgeable owners, good prices too, definitely recommend

This is an amazing place to visit and enjoy crystals! Plenty of variety to choose from! Everything is very fair priced all around the shop. what beautiful display of museum grade crystals for people to see that understand fine minerals or are just enjoying the beauty of them. Tashi and his staff are the highlight of this shop, incredibly knowledgeable and there kindness really shines through when you are here. Coming in here is like a cup of coffee for me! Always leave here feeling so good and happy after my visit. read more
