A treasure trove of bins and baskets loaded with raw and tumbled rocks, gems and crystals. Next to impossible to make a quick purchase with so many rooms to explore. The owner, Susan is amazingly gifted with knowledge and a knack for helping you find the perfect piece of earth energy to suit your needs. We were amazed by her ability to locate the most elusive items on our list. Friendly and welcoming with prices that are very reasonable. read more

Super cool, funky crystal shop with INSANE variety of items. More metaphysical/hippie items as well as mineral specimens and fossils. Owner is super nice and extremely knowledgeable about all of the items she sells. I like the fact that she allows you to browse freely and doesn't "shadow" shoppers like some other crystal places do. Definitely plan to spend at least an hour there! read more

Best crystal store in Sarasota, and probably anywhere in a 100 miles radius. The owner is knowledgeable beyond her years, funny and down to earth. The collection that she has unbelievably extensive. read more

Great experience! She was so helpful and knew so much about all the crystals! Due to COVID the shipping is from outside and you ask what you would like to see. If you ask... she has it! Prices were fair and she was so willing to help even with my whole family there. I hope to shop with her again! She also dose FaceTime shopping which is so cool! And even gave me and my sister a free piece of Australian opal read more

Cool selection but grossly overpriced. Prob double or triple what these stones should be. Must be a millionaire that owns this shop. Not very spiritual and a bad energy. read more

I've been looking for a Crystal place that has a lot of raw/minerals because most places have very basic ones. I'm from Tampa and was stuck in the area for 6 hours yesterday. After the beach I drove by the crystal cave and immediately U turned. It was very colorful outside of the building which caught my attention. The shop owner is an angel, she helped me look for things I've been searching for she had almost all and stuff very similar. The atmosphere was amazing and I was so happy seeing so many different kinds of minerals. read more

Just what I was looking for. Crystals and lots of shapes, sizes and colors. Owner can tell you about them. They come from all over. She even offers classes. read more

My experience at this establishment left me with very mixed feelings... i decided to visit because my best friend has been raving about it forever and so i finally decided to give it a shot. Anyways, it was very beautiful, it was in like a little cottage, very homey with seating and an abundance of crystals and stones, none the less, it didn't give me good vibes, i ignored that and continued on. The owner (who is also the cashier) greeted us very coldly for someone who visits there very often and has gotten along very well with (my friend) We continue to purchase stones and i had a question about a specific kind of salt, i didnt really want to ask because i was shy but my boyfriend convinced me, what was the worst that could happen... she acted almost insulted with my question, she continued to cuss at how she's never heard of it before and continued to laugh saying it was a stupid question... i wasnt so much offended by the lack of knowing but more the disrespect and embarrassment. I've been there once again because that same friend wanted to look around and i needed a money tree but i didnt dare ask this time in case it was another "outrageous" question. Anyways... maybe she was having a bad day I'm not sure, but i wouldnt shop there again, the crystal and stones and other objects she has are gorgeous but it's not worth another encounter like that read more

The owner was rude and gave incorrect information when asked questions about particular types of stones and crystals.

I absolutely love the Crystal Cave! The owner is very friendly, there most of the time and she has extensive knowledge of the crystals as well as a huge supply. She even puts on metaphysical fairs once a month! read more

I love this place, such a wide variety and although a little pricey, definitely worth it and the prices are well justified. My only gripe is on a few occasions items have been mis-priced by the owner, who thinks that they are something else more expensive. Unfortunate, but with how much else she is able to remember accurately I don't blame her, she's only human. And I love all of my crystals and geodes I've recieved from here! They are all very precious to me! read more

First time customer who accompanied a friend who was there to buy. Everything was set up outdoors due to covid; as we approached the covered tables (my friend in a clear face shield and me not wearing a mask because we were outdoors and it was an 82 degree, beautiful sunny morning AND we were the only 2 there), I was immediately approached and asked if I would please put on a face mask and was offered one. To which I replied I would not (as we were outdoors, pretty much alone and I was more than happy to keep at least 6 ft. distance and not touch any of their wares as I wasn't there to buy). Well, from that point on, the owner and her one worker went indoors and didn't come back outside except to tend to one other woman who came. By this time, my friend had found something she wanted to purchase and also wanted to ask them a question about a necklace she was also looking at that she was interested in buying. Well, these 2 ladies seemed to go out of their way to completely avoid my friend (who DID have a face shield on). My friend finally got disgusted waiting and trying to get their attention so she put the one thing back she had in her hand and insisted we leave. We ended up going to browse the other art vendors just across the parking lot and ended up having a nice time, pleasant conversations and made several purchases. I can't believe any business owner - any time of year - but especially during hard-hit financial times such as covid - would go out of their way to turn potential customers away in this economic climate. Oh well ... there ARE other vendors who ARE open for real business. Go there instead. :-D read more

I have been to this location twice, and unfortunately both times found the owner to be cold, rigid and very controlling. Not something you expect in this kind of environment. On both occasions I tried to politely engage the owner in conversation only to be ignored or responded to with a one word gruff answer. I was in the process of contemplating a VERY expensive mineral specimen (well over $2,200 for a client) but I found her to be so off putting that I decided to take my business elsewhere. I can not in good conscience ever recommend her to anyone, nor would I ever spend my money there or attend a class. There are other lovely places to go where I will be welcomed, regardless of whether I spend a dime or a grand....this is not that place. read more
