Charlie's Rock Shop

The best thing about living in the area for 6 years was this place, I recently made a 300 mile round trip to go back there!Charlie is fantastic, exceptionally knowledgable in geology and all things rocks and fossils, wonderful selection every time I’ve been and always spending double the amount I’ve budgeted. The 30th anniversary weekend a couple of years ago was so brilliantly organised and such a fun weekend, big hats off to Sacha in particular for that as well as her social media updates!I dread to think how much I’ve spent there over the years but I can guarantee I’ll always go back there, just the best crystal shop I’ve experienced.Photos of some of the crystals I’ve bought over the years!

Lovely shop with loads of different rocks and minerals of varying sizes. I think the prices are very good- it was much better value for money compared to buying rocks/minerals at natural history museums which was my previous go to.Employees were very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be visiting again!I’ve attached a picture of my purchases: celestite, preknite & two labradorite palm stones.

Fantastic shop. Full of crystals, jewellery and gifts. Highly recommend

Affordable and good quality crystals, although i think their range could be expanded a little more. Apart from that, everything in this shop from incense to crystals to fossils are all affordable (unless you are going for the big big things!) and good quality. You can find 2 trays with hundreds of crystals all from 50p - £4 in a single tray, which also have labels to make it a-lot easier for crystal beginners who do not know them by heart. Whether you are going for small or big, this shop has something for everyone. I went with my aunt who isn’t so big on this type of stuff, but once she bought an amethyst bracelet she instantly fell in love. Thank you, i recommend going here. Not so much for littler kids, but suitable for older teens and adults who are interested in this type of stuff. Good service, will come again.

Visited this amazing shop today, although a local I haven't been to Charlie's Rock Shop for a while. I think it's even better than I remember. Full of beautiful pieces, I bought a Himalayan Salt Lamp for my son for Christmas, so lovely I'm going back tomorrow to buy one for myself! The young staff were helpful and friendly.

Love this shopTakes me back to my youth when my family were living in Madagascar which is a geologist paradise.Got quite a few cufflinks, again.

If love crystals, incense sticks & beautifully made pieces, this shop is delightful. Staff very helpful & shop located near very pretty river next to Abbey Mills. (Hand sanitiser available on entry which customers are encouraged to use). Many crystals in their natural form available or made into exquisite jewellery, some with stirling silver, bronze/gold & some with macrame-like net casing. Purchased a pair of ear-rings made with stirling silver, reasonably priced, along with a pretty velvet pouch. When enquired what symbol in circle meant, was advised this is buddha, relating to meditation. Great shop with good variety of items displayed so all can easily be seen.
