Such a great shop! Definitely a good place for locally sourced souvenirs!Wide variety from small polished stones to large rough pieces, at good prices!!!! Many shops are over priced and over rated but this shop is great! Jackie helped me and was really nice and informative! There are sooooooo many different pieces you just want to sit and delve into the shelves and boxes and baskets of beautiful rocks for hours!Definitely coming back with friends!
Way cool! Love it and so will you
Stumbled upon this place. Saw a suspicious looking young woman standing outside a curious store across the street. Me being me went to go investigate. Well, her name is Jane and the owner of this amazing store. Each time I pop in, Jane always has one of whatever I was looking for and didn’t know where it came from.So Cave of Wonders on Ray St in San Diego is the spot for some amazing energy, unique finds … Also Erik is equally as humble and grateful as Jane. So grateful these beautiful souls crossed my path🙏😇💕🪐
Loved this place. And purchased some crystals. The people working were very helpful and super nice. Great customer service..
Such an amazing little shop! You need to stop in here if youre in San Diego! They have gems, books, local art, wire wrapped jewelry and trees! Everyone is so friendly and informative! Come support the local shop and local community!!!
Really great up until the point they bait and switch a little kid. Really unfortunate because my boys were really digging it. If you are going to tell a price, honor it. Its a simple concept.
Shoebox sized shop but with a lot of nice finds. Not a super wide selection but there are still neat pieces. Call to see if there is something specific youre looking for, like moldavite (since its popular and rare)
The Name Speaks Volume 👍👍 Best place to feel comfortable purchasing Healing stones and unique Gift Items. 👍👍 The Staff is very knowledgeable and courteous. Shop there often always something New and Wonderful every time I visit. 😊😊😊
A very beautiful peaceful place
This place is amazing! Lovely staff, peaceful ambiance, and great prices! Best place for crystals in San Diego, thank you!
Small but cool little shop. They have a pretty wide selection of crystals in various shapes, many of them in balls. The staff are very friendly as well.
WOW!!! The Cave of Wonders is truly magical. Jackie and Alise are boyh wonderful, knowledgeable and very helpful when helping select the right sparkle. The store is full of gems, stones, energy, vitality, love, magical and happinness. I personally purchased 3 x bumblebee tower necklaces; 1 for each one of my brothers and one for myself. Alise curated a bag of prenatal stones intended for our birth and son, Telias Alba.The mens braecelets are really cool. The magenetized, tiger eyer men bracelet I purchased today is not coming off this wrist. 😀 super good looks amd feels right.We will keep coming back for sure.Anyone looking for a MAGICAL time needs to take a trip to this Cave Of Wonders. Enjoy and good hungting. 👏👏
Loved everything about this shop! Girls were so helpful and very knowledgeable!
My homegirl works there and she is so down to warth and an amazing person to be atound
If you like stones, jewelry, incense...etc.Lots of interesting things to look at. They also have an old school Pac-Man arcade machine...great if you have a child you need to keep busy while you browse. Jackie was very helpful, patient & provided great customer service. Definitely plan on returning and highly recommend.
I have become a regular at Cave of wonders. Jackie is simply a breath of fresh air. Cave of wonders is an amazing little shop that offers a wide variety of crystals, zen essentials and jewelry. The shop always has just what I need and crystals are labeled with descriptions to help better understand the meaning behind the crystal. Amazing shop, never a disappointment.
Now the Eye of Budda on Park moved back to L.A. this, though I have been here before and had a great experience both times speaking once with owner and another time with the son, I will stop in today for Malachite bracelet.OZ repelent???🤔🤣🤣🤣🦄
You can say Ive been through this place a few times to pick up some snazzy rocks and gifts. Great selection of stones and crystals, theyre real knowledgeable, and if you ask nice theyll look for special items in the back. If you see something there, buy it... it wont be there when you return. They must have a steady fan base that comes in. Oh and sometimes they give gift bags!
Darling little crystal shop with gorgeous loose stones, jewelry, and other metaphysical supplies. Big items like crystal balls and little pocket stones. 10/10. Also the owner/shopkeep is super sweet, knowledgeable, and seems genuinely to care about their customers experiences and interests.
Love this little place. A wide collection of crystals, incense, jewelry, etc. The girl working there was super sweet, I will definitely be returning !!
Wonderful selection of precious stone collection all types of cut and formed pendents and gifts
Minierals and gifts. Great environment.
Jackie is such a GEM! And free Pac Man! :)
Friendly & welcoming atmosphere! Made our day better than previous experiences in other stores.
Super sweet and knowledgeable ! I really enjoyed this little shop ❤️
Love this shop. Cute little hole in the wall with anything you can think of. I could spend hours just looking around in there.
5 stars, love this place. Jackie is AWESOME, wonderful rocks and jewelry. Very good energy here.
I love the atmosphere and knowledgable staff. Of course I miss seeing Scotties friendly face but he definitely lives on in the store! I love coming here when I have some extra money to throw around and they have great pieces!
Great store with one of a kind items. Cool selection of common crystals and gems, stones, raw forms. Sage, incense. Awesome selection of Jade too 😍. Nice, friendly staff.
Its an amazing and wonderful place here, the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. I only met Scotty once, but the man was truly a gem by all those who knew him, so Im super glad the store lives on to honor his memory!
I walked in to buy Lapiz Lazuli. Left with a whole bunch of other gemstones. Had an exquisite conversation with everyone there, including the wonderful and wise owner. He is an ancient master in his own right. I plan on spending my time learning as much as I can from this family of gifted people. I felt safe and nurtured in this small cave of wonders! I encourage you to stop by with any questions and see for yourself how brilliantly you can find a stone and practical response to ground down your request! Sharing the love.. Jade Rabbit
A cute hole in the wall. We bought a beautiful amethyst/clear quartz tree for a fraction of the cost we wouldve paid online.
The most magical shop Ive ever been in, The Cave of Wonders was opened by a true gem and graduate gemologist Scotty. Theres quite the collection and reasonable prices. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable they also have books and charts you can look at and you cant forget about their original pacman machine thats always on free play!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE GEM SHOPS THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING I LOVE I LOVED IT
Stopped by for the first time to pick up some sage. Cozy shop with lots to look at. Very friendly people too. Will definitely go back and take my time looking through everything next time!
Staff incredibly knowledgable and fun to talk to. While it is small, it is packed with so many great items to discover. Jewelry, gems, water wands, kaleidoscopes, and even turtle poop. The prices seem competitively priced with other places selling gemstones in the area. Be aware the parking right in front is paid, but if you drive around the corner, there is free street parking.
Awesome!!! Place!!! Scott is the owner and if you let him know Patty sent you expect nothing but the best advice. The Cave Of Wonders are great people..lots to find and admire. I went back like 3 times in a week.....your healed if you want it. Be at peace,Enjoy!!!
I had a great time at shopping at Cave of Wonders.They always have two people to help you with. Very friendly place to shop. Their is a Healer one see as well. She is good.I found that they had a large variety of stones. Also their ceilings have the Chakras on them.They have a lot of books as well about it.
Such an awesome little shop. Beautiful items. Owner is very nice and knowledgeable. Very good vibes from all who work here. Will definitely be back.
This place is absolutely amazing! Ive been to quite a few places that are similar in nature but none compare to The Cave of Wonders. This place is truly a gem worth journeying to. Highly Recommended.
I stopped by this morning and I absolutely love The Cave of Wonders!
Everyone is so nice here. They have a great selection at reasonable prices. Scotty is super knowledgeable and eager to share this knowledge. I love this store. It is great for kids too. Scotty will give them a mini lesson and they have gumball machines with rocks instead of gumballs! So cool!!
The name says it all. Owner of the Wonders was very knowledgeable & cares about his customers needs. He took his time to help me find the right crystals for the purpose I needed them for. I am very grateful I found this wonderful shop.
