    Just came from this place and I was impressed, the shop is roomy, bright, neat and organized with a good variety of crystals. The customer service was great, the male salesperson adjusted the fit of the bracelets I wanted to my size and helped me find the right size for my son. He also said they would restring the bracelets if they broke. Will definitely be back next time I am at Grossmont Center.

    My first time visiting California Gemstones. Such an awesome variety and I found exactly what I was looking for. Chuck was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. He is very knowledgeable in all the gemstones and crystals. I will definitely be buying more from him in the future. Among a few items I bought, I found the perfect amber that I have been needing!

    Met Chuck at his booth at the San Diego Gem Fair.

    Hi sir i am looking for ruby gem stone is it available so i can come?

    Hello, we do offer some non gem quality color enhanced Ruby jewelry and also some natural Mozambique Ruby jewelry as well as Ruby in zoisite jewelry.

    Does anyone know exactly where this place is? I tried calling during business hours and No one answered so I left the area

    In Grossmont center right across the food court. Literally on the same side as World Market but the opposite corner.

My first impression walking up to shop, it's going to be filled with all kinds of goodies. The reality exceeded my expectations. I did give myself a budget before I walked in of $100. I headed to the back to find the Oracle deck cards. She had a decorative table in the back displaying her gorgeous Oracle deck cards. There were little refreshments and amazing cookies to celebrate the occasion. After learning more about Oracle deck cards, I decided to shuffle and pull two cards. They were exactly on point. I became emotional and decided to explore the rest of the store. I realized I did give myself a big enough budget. It truly was a gift givers paradise: stones, teas, essential oils, aromatherapy, skincare, books, socks, stickers, cards, plushies, jewelry, etc. I ended up only purchasing two sets of Oracle Deck cards, but I already bookmarked this shop to return for future gift shopping. The cashier was super friendly!

She was so helpful and explained the various properties and originations of the crystals I was interested in. I bought some Selenite, Bismuth, Labradorite, Yellow Calcite, Fluorite, Black Kyanite, Ocean Jasper, and Pink Tourmaline! The energy that Elivia has is so powerful and it was a lovely experience to meditate with different stones and realize their healing power for myself. I am definitely going to be coming back to buy more crystals because I use them when I meditate and they aid in the process of healing. Currently, she is accepting calls to learn more about her shop and where her shop is located. I definitely recommend setting up an appointment to visit her shop and check out the beautiful crystals and jewelry she has. I am going to visit soon and get some Selenite logs to put under my bed and give as gifts for my loved ones. Thank you Elivia for being such a sweet human being.

She's a spiritual medium who can "tune in" on the most amazing level- with rock that suit you !;She teaches all sorts of classes on crystals and singing bowls. The cool thing is that with each rock you buy, you get a short description on what it does. So if you forget, you'll always have her description. Plus if you lose the paper, you can always send her a photo and she'll help you out. I know because I did !! This is just some of the awesome crystals I've bought over the years.

    Hi. I was wondering around Mission Valley Mall when I had an impulse to enter Icing. I recently was…read morecleaning out my jewelry 'vault' at home and had a bunch of earrings I coyld no longer use. I had my husband put in a diamond earing in what I thought was hole #2 in my right ear, but was in fact #3 of three holes. I have 2 holes in my left ear and a cartiledge piercing on the top. There was not a third hole on the left. However, amongst all the existing holes, the first holes are in horrible conditi9on. Beging a hippie child I wore heavy dangley earings for quite awhile. These holes, in the future, will blend in with the 'wrinkle zone' on my ears. Being unsymetrical now, I thought I needed a new hole in my left. I ducked into Icing and a very sweet gal measured it out etc, and poped in an earing. Voila. At home, I studied it to death and just didn't see what I had asked for. The next day, I was at Parkway Plaza in El Cajon, (I live in North County but have family, friends, and work down here. Why? It's gonna change soon.) I went into the Icing at Parkway Plaza and met the manager,Elayne VonDeWilker. We hit it off and it took us some time to come up with a plan B for me: making my left ear look like the right. It took some time, but I agreed to return in two days (in order to heal from the random piercing I'd gotten earlier). I saw Elayne today. We revisted our plan, executed it and off I went. Oh. The cost. I had purchased a 14kt stud, exchanged it for two stainless steel ones, and got a refund for $7 and change. I just want to not only Thank Elayne over and over, but to let others know there are good people in our retail enviornment that are there to take , not only care of us, but GOOD care. Look for them. They are there I found one, and I'm one happy camper! Thanks, Elayne!
