Rock 'n Glass — Local services in Gainesville

I read a handful of reviews about this wonderful little shop before deciding to take my maiden voyage to see it for myself, and whether it lived up to the hype...booooy, did it ever! Becky greeted me with a warm smile, and welcomed me in (dirty workboots and all, haha). I was immediately struck by the intensely amazing, wise, and visually-beautiful use of her space to fit such an incredible amount of volume into such a concise spatial footprint. The glass shelves and the way they offer beautiful exhibition of all pieces is just fantastic. I especially love how Becky, as a fellow avid animal-lover, shows great representation of all KINDS of creatures among her pieces: crows, turtles, wolves, bears, frogs, and so many more! The reviews that speak to the degree of how warm & knowledgeable she is are not hyperbole in the least. She is a gem, HERSELF, and a very refreshing proprietor to come into contact with (I think we all know that unpleasant experience of going into a shop where it honestly feels like the Owner is annoyed by our presence and questions, but I never felt that way at all during my [hour?-]long visit in her shop. She was cordial, inviting, and has a real skill with engaging her customers in pleasant chat. I had a phenomenal time exploring her crystal wares, and will definitely be back. Also, the price points are amazingly on-point (in fact, I think she needs to RAISE her prices, haha!), and it was sometimes hard for me to imagine her making any profit off these prices, what with all else overhead and rock-expo-logistic-wise she must contend. This is a superb shop, and I can wholeheartedly say that Becky deserves your business! Stop by and chat with her, it will be time well-spent! Absolutely LOVE the solid shimmering Selenite crystal ball I picked up, and its price was so RIDICULOUSLY low, I almost felt like I had robbed this poor sweet...

I have been on the hunt for good crystal stores in Gainesville and let me tell you… this is the one. I have never seen such a large selection of crystals in my life. There are super rare hard to find crystals In this store. The ladies that run it are so knowledgeable and they actually put in effort into finding quality crystals. When I spoke with them, they said they physically go to rock sellers that carve out the crystals and go to numerous rock shows/conventions to find the best crystals. I have seen the coolest shapes in crystals here. I have seen the most gorgeous crystals too. I am a picky crystal buyer and like rare things and let me tell you- this is the place to go for that. They have all sorts of shapes in all different sizes. Prices that I have seen range from $1-$800. I highly recommend this place. It’s a smaller shop but they utilize their space well. Everything is well organized and labeled. It’s also nice that the labels tell you what country the crystal comes from. This store is truly a hidden gem in Gainesville and there’s something for everyone in it. In case you want to see some of the things they offer, refer to the photo that showcases my friend and I’d first...

My husband and I came across this store since we were in the area and followed the bright yellow signs. You just need to ring the doorbell to experience a lovely hidden corner of cut and uncut rocks, gems, and semiprecious stones. You might even call this place "a hidden gem" in this area :)

Amazing selection of affordable crystals and rocks - there's even a fossil corner for collectors. Something for everyone! The displays make excellent use of the space and everything is clearly labeled (price, origin, and type of stone/crystal material).

I was able to find a pair of elephants for a relative who loves them. Prices range from $5 and up depending on the size and quality of the piece.

Becky is the storeowner - exceptionally welcoming, informative, and friendly. We will be back again in the future to see what intriguing items are on display and add to our own collection. Thanks for making our first visit a great...
