Charlie's Rock Shop

First time here as a beginner into crystal healing - immediately felt a calmness throughout my time in the store, didn't feel rushed and could take my time. Lots to useful information to read around the store. Definitely reccomend.

Lovely shop, have been going for years and have always loved it, however i went with my friend fairly recently and had an awful experience which was so disappointing :( My friend has just had a little baby girl and we decided to go crystal shopping together, she was asleep in the buggy and we obviously couldn’t leave her outside by herself so we attempted to push the pram through the doorway which was a bit of a tight squeeze, the staff member could see us struggling and reluctantly offered to open the double doors whilst huffing which made us feel very unwelcome. We placed the buggy by the entrance whilst we had a look around. Fair enough it is a fairly small shop but the pram was not in anyones way and none of the customers were bothered by the pram. The whole time we felt very on edge with dirty looks from this staff member. She offered to help us back out once we had finished but i could tell she was just glad to get rid of us. After we left, my friend told me that she had heard the staff member mumble that she thought my friend was going to steal something from the shop. This is such a shame as it has just made us feel like we don’t want to go back and we absolutely loved going, the staff are normally always so lovely and welcoming but this particularly lady - that we hadn’t seen before - certainly was not.

I haven't visited in a while but I highly do recommend coming here. All crystals can range from many prices and can be very affordable for example they have smokey quartz, loads of amethysts,rose quartz ect.

Staff are so welcoming and are very helpful when you need help or want to know about different crystals and how you can use crystals in different ways for example crystals can be used for witchcraft or meditation.

What also is there are incent sticks at well good prices compared to other shops that could over price them.

Other things like crystal necklaces, keyrings and earrings as well as rings can be purchased there however some are in the glass cabinet so don't be shy to ask for help if you see anything in them.

The last time I came here I got myself a salt candle holder which is big in size for around £5 the price may of changed but its a good size for its worth.

What also can be purchased are candles which can range from prices due to size. I would recommend buying the small candles as I personally think they look alot better if you rather use them for meditation or decor. What I also like about this is that where the candles are they are colour co-ordinated and they have meanings to what each candle does for example black candles are used for protection.

I would definitely come back when I have the time to give a more updated review and examples around the shop and I would definitely recommend people to come here as a good place to start if they want to get some good affordable crystals.

I would also like to note that If anyone is interested in tarot cards I believe they sell tarot decks at the till.

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.

I Like the shop, very well organized, friendly prices, staff was alright and the shop has a good energy🧘🏽‍♀️
I'm definitely will come back to buy more nice stuff they have.
I truly recommend the 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.

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.

Terrible service. For some reason the owner Charlie thought I was some kind of thief and kept on looking behind my shoulder… the WHOLE TIME…. FOR LIKE 30 MINUTES! A bit uncomfortable… And at checkout this woman was extremely rude. I understand it’s a great store like other reviews say but the customer service ruins it all.
