Review from Collette E.

This local Kitsilano shop is (no pun intended) a real gem. I travel for work and in every city I go to I make an effort to go into every gem and mineral shop I find. I have never found such an incredible gem store ever before! Never before have I seen such a collection of stones outside of a museum. Not only is the owner and his daughter two of the nicest people you could ever want to meet they are really really know their stones. They can tell you the properties of hundreds of stones! They also are passionate about what they do and it shows. I consider myself very fortunate that my travels have taken me here to Vancouver so that I may have had the privilege of going to Amethyst Creations.

The hand-painted sign didn't really pull me in, but it should signify that this is a small shop, locally owned, by people who are interested in gems, and in particular amethyst.
They have a pretty wide array of gems and stones. It's definitely intriguing to browse around, and the staff was very friendly and nice. Some big pieces of stone were said to have healing qualities. Some little stones would be great picks for jewelry.
A nice place, you might find a gift for that cooky aunt that no one understands!
