Boutique de minéraux - Pasadena, Newfoundland and Labrador

Une deuxième visite 17 années plus tard !

J’y étais venu une première fois le 16 septembre 2005 en matinée et j’avais acheté une paire de boucles d’oreilles à mon épouse. Voyez la description sur une des photos : HANDCRAFTED Labradorite Meyer’s Minerals sterling silver. Je ne me souviens plus du prix payé mais c’était autour de $50,00 il me semble bien ou plus. Nous y sommes retournés en couple cette fois le 2 août 2022 et mon épouse a tenté en vain de retrouver une paire semblable. La dame sur place nous disait de façon assez convaincante disons que ce type de boucles d’oreilles que mon épouse lui décrivait avec précision, n’avaient sûrement pas été achetées ici 17 années plus tôt et que ce qu’elle recherchait ne se trouvait pas dans ce commerce. Bon enfin, nous sommes sortis du commerce un peu déçus, surtout mon épouse, en prenant notre pilule. Je n’étais pas 100% certain que c’était le commerce où j’avais acheté la paire de boucles d’oreilles en question mais je savais à coup sûr que c’était dans cette région puisque je couchais à Deer Lake. J’ai heureusement retrouvé ces photos de 2005 que je vous propose ainsi qu’une du commerce extérieur prise le 2 août 2022. Les deux photos extérieures sont presque identiques ce qui ne laisse planer aucun doute que c’est bien ici que j’étais le 16 septembre 2005. Nous recommandons ce commerce si vous recherchez la qualité et l’authenticité et si votre budget n’est pas limité car il n’y a rien de donné.

I can’t say enough good things about this incredible little mineral shop! It was my very first time visiting and it honestly felt like stepping into a treasure trove. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warmest energy and that was all thanks to Sandra, the amazing woman works there.

Sandra is beyond knowledgeable. You can tell right away that minerals and crystals aren’t just a business for her they’re a passion. She patiently answered all our questions, told us fascinating facts about the different types of stones (labradorite, quartz, and so many others) and shared stories behind the pieces. Her love for the craft is truly contagious.

What really blew us away was how generous she was with her time. We were so curious about how the pieces were actually made, and instead of just explaining it, Sandra took us in the back of the shop and showed us the whole process! It was incredible to see the love and care that goes into every single item. Watching her work made me appreciate the pieces even more it’s like each one holds a little bit of magic and a lot of heart.

This place might be small, but it has the biggest spirit. Whether you’re new to crystals or a seasoned collector, I promise you’ll leave feeling inspired (and probably carrying a few new shiny friends home with you). Do yourself a favor and go check it out you’ll be supporting a small business that truly deserves it.

10/10 experience. Thank you, Sandra you’re a gem! :))

This is a unit in an industrial park, but don't let that deter you from visiting. The unit is filled with exquisite samples of minerals, carvings and jewelry all sourced from Newfoundland. The guy that was running it knew exactly what he was talking about and was very friendly and helpful. We also found a geological map which outlines all the interesting geological sites around Newfoundland and Labrador with clear details of what you can find and how.

Tillie was very friendly and showed us the back of the shop where the rocks are cut and polished. Beautiful pieces of jewelry and other creations for sale.

Little hole in the wall doesn't look promising from the outside, when you open the door, it's small but very diverse in product. The lady who greeted us was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us the back where they cut and polished the stones, and she shared the geological stages on the different types of stones. All of the stones are from Newfoundland, and they create their own jewelry and ornaments. The rocks were beautiful and came with an explanational paper blurb. I found it very educational and would recommend it to anyone who wants a local souvenir.

Beautiful little hole in the wall of a rock and gem store. Slightly pricey, but you're getting access to labradorite from tribal lands that no one else can claim access to. Beautiful pieces for sale. Only minor issue is no debit or credit card machine at point of sale. Requires e-transfer, which is slightly wonky for a business model, but apparently they've been doing it for years. Staff in store were amazing, and happily allowed unscheduled quick tour of rock cutting area in back of store. Very interesting and amazing to see.
