I have been working with crystals for about 20 years. This is definitely a good store, with a pretty decent variety/selection of crystals. I'd say pricing is slightly below average (which is good), with fewer items a bit overpriced. The store is very tight, so browsing isn't always the best experience, especially if there are more than a few customers. And I've found that certain staff members are nice/helpful, but sometimes others (typically the managers) seem to have a bit of an attitude. I'm in there fairly often, yet there's an energy I feel that they just don't value their repeat customers enough. All things considered - and I've shopped at a LOT of crystal stores across the country over the years - this shop is average to slightly above average. Cornerstone Minerals (a few blocks away on Main St) is a far better choice. read more

Have a really large selection. I went in to get a gift for a friend but they have cool signs up below all the different gems and crystals or whatever. Idk I'm not into all that spiritual stuff but I still think it's cool to have that up for those that are or want to get into it. Was interesting to read. I'm fascinated by rocks and gems and stuff though. So I did wind up buying a geode. Idk if it was over/under priced but I like it so whatever read more

I like the store and the selection. In the past three years I have probably bought close to $3,500 worth of merchandise from them. I received gift certificates for christmas in 2021 because my family knows I enjoy the store. They ended up getting put in a drawer I rarely use. I did not realize these certificates expire. I remembered I had them, and tried to use them. The store would not accept them because they were one MONTH expired. But then the manager told me "they now have gift CARDS that never expire." But my month old certificates were no good. I like the store but their policy on being able to redeem money that has already been spent in their store. And they have already put in their pocket, is outdated and ridiculous. Especially seeing that they have gift cards with no experation.. read more

What's with this lady and saying the prices are inflated. You're inflated. As for the store I actually love it. And it would take a real traveler to know that. They have a variety of stuff to choose from and the employees are helpful unless you look like your stealing I'm sure the other review person was stealing I got a really pretty ring from there. It's hard to find great gems and stones that are authentic. So I know the quality of them because I personally collect them and know a lot about them. They are helpful and awesome and I loved the smell of the store it had this earthiness about it I appreciate. they usually have a sale on their silver and have plenty to choose from. read more

Greenville Gem Mine - Aqua aura - Jewelry Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Their selection of gemstones, jewelry, and trinkets is pretty good for the size of the shop. Lots of cute things to be seen, and as a gem/rock collector, I was happy with the selection. However, the two women working the store treated my girlfriend and I like criminals. I work in retail, and I know how clerks behave when they think someone is "suspicious." I tried to have a conversation with the lady that rang me up, and she practically ignored me. I would not recommend going here. Find another gem mine, or shop for your gems online. It's not worth it to be treated like a thief. :\ Tldr; Very rude, pretty products. read more

Greenville Gem Mine - Products I purchased - Jewelry Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

If I could give this store a 0 I would. I have worked retail for a while and never would I ever treat a customer the way I was treated when I visited the Haywood Mall location! A floor display with necklaces fell and my daughter happened to be near it at the time. The associate came over and started picking it up. My thoughtful teenage daughter immediately started helping the associate. The associate said nothing and continued to pick up necklaces from the floor. Then, the associate dropped a $10 necklace and it broke. She then turned to my daughter and said, " I'm going to have to ask you to pay for this." I could not believe what I was hearing! I said to the associate, " You're kidding, right???" She then proceeded to say that my daughter broke the necklace so we had to pay for it! I asked to speak to the manager. The manager, who was extremely rude further told us the same. I explained what really happened and she just kept saying " You're going to have to pay for it!" When I refused she scoffed at me and said, " I was going to give you a discount; but not anymore." I was not going to pay for something that we didn't do. We walked out of the store and plan to never patronize this business ever again! read more

Great place for kids or adults that like stones! We loved gem mining, came away with some great treasures, then added a few souvenirs!! Our host, Grant, was great with the kids and made the experience memorable. They were asking to go back just to say hi to him in the following days!! read more

GREAT SELECTION OF GEMS This is a little gem mine located right downtown in Greenville. You can actually bring the kids her to mine for gems. They have a great selection of gemstone and sterling silver jewelry. I thought that the general prices were a bit inflated but they are currently having a 25% off sale on all sterling silver items. There were a variety of different colors and styles of jewelry but I did not find anything really different or unique for me. I really just wanted a souvenir charm for my silver bracelet but they had nothing available. You will enjoy this store if you like unique gemstones or are looking for a special piece of jewelry as a gift. read more

See all

I had lost one of my favorite earrings that I had gotten here 5 years ago and they had another pair just like them. I was so excited to find the lovely little smoky quartz earrings just waiting for me. read more

Generally when I'm downtown, I'll stop by here, but not anymore. Here's why: during my most recent visit there, I happened to run into a friend who also wanted to browse their selection of rocks and jewelry. While we were looking around and chatting, a lady behind the counter interrupted us and told us to move to another part of the store! She claimed that we were standing in a "high traffic area" and were blocking people, but that was bs. Not only are my friend and me super skinny (seriously, we could turn sideways and practically disappear), I'm very aware of my surroundings, and no one was being blocked by us at all. It was unexpected and she was rude about it, and it was embarrassing and unnecessary. Little did she know that she just pissed off a now former customer who has spent around $1000 there over the years. Not anymore. You can't treat your customers that way. If you want a superior selection of rocks, minerals, shells, etc. and with better prices, go to DIXIE GEM along Poinsett Hwy. Plus, they actually know about everything they sell, and they're not rude. read more

Bought some items from here this past week, The selection is great & the employees...OMG. Super knowledgeable & willing to help , Will def be a returning! Awesome customer service!!! read more

I was skeptical about coming in due to the reviews on the customer service but I had a very good experience! My husband, 5 month old baby, and I enjoyed great conversation with the woman working the store. I have been to multiple gem shops where I live in San Diego and all up California for that matter and this shop had some of the most reasonable prices. read more
