Shiny Things For Shiny People is a business in Austin, TX, offering a wide variety of crystals, rocks, gems, and wire-wrapped jewelry. It is a neat place with a ton of minerals to choose from, featuring the most diverse selection in the area. The collection is unique, cool, and hand-sourced, with everything displayed beautifully and organized by design for easy navigation. The quality is next-level and premium, with fair and accessible prices. The energy and aura in the shop are unreal—warm, grounding, and good for the soul. It is very fun to visit and browse, feeling like part retail, part sanctuary. The staff is very friendly, wonderful, and grateful. The owner is passionate and knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and makes everyone feel welcome, seen, and excited to explore, whether they are a total beginner or a seasoned collector. The customer experience is informative and enjoyable, leaving visitors with a sense of peace and clarity. It is a rare spot that stays with you long after you have left.
One of the things I love about this place is that they have a huge selection of gems and crystals, but also a huge selection of prices. You can spend a lot, or only a little, and still walk out with something special. Huge pendant and necklace selection as well as prisms and loose stones. Highly knowledgable staff as well.
