    Gabriella was very helpful and kind the entire time I was there, and the store itself had a vast amount of options all at a very reasonable price! Everything was of very good quality as well. Strongly recommend this store! I've been looking for amber jewelry for a while now and I was able to find some really good pieces here.

    Absolutely lovely shop. Every crystal and stone you can imagine with their meanings so you don't have to question if you've got the right one. Staff is polite, helpful and not pushy as well making the shopping experience comfortable. I will definitely be returning in the future.

    OMG! What a wonderful hidden "gem" of a store! As soon as I walked in I love the energy, look & feel of the store. There are so many beautiful pieces of stones, crystals, rings, pendant, necklaces etc. to choose from & reasonable prices! Staff - Gabriella was very insightful & pleasant, she helping me select a new silver ring & bracelet :) love them both ! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Fantastic fair trade crystal store in Wellington West. Amazingly reasonable prices. Extensive selection of beads - different stones and styles, for any beader out there. The store also features a massive collection of genuine gems and minerals from all over the world, including Canada! The staff are very helpful, polite and welcoming. A must-go for any crystal and gemstone lover.

    Great place for crystals and jewelry, I went there on the weekend and saw some really cute silver fish charms in the back that I thought would make cute earrings. The staff there kindly made it into earrings for me right there behind the counter in less than 10 minutes. She was very kind and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again on my next trip to Ottawa :)

    This shop is Wellington West's best kept secret imo when it comes to jewelry. They have a large selection of affordable jewelry, displayed in tall cases, categorized according to the gemstone. They carry crystals and gems for jewelry making supplies, and they also have quite a few impressive large crystals. If you haven't noticed this shop before, it is well worth a visit, just to admire their beautiful treasures.

    Amazing stones and awesome service!! Thank you so much Gabrielle for introducing me to green garnet - I looove my new stone! Also found the perfect gift for my dad’s birthday - nothing like sun stone and tiger’s eye for a Leo! This was our first visit to your store and it will not be the last!

    My first time going into a crystal shop and it was the best experience ever! Was shopping for a gift for my mom and I have zero knowledge on gems and crystals. I spent 1 hour in the store, didn't feel rush at all, the woman working was EXTREMELY HELPFUL, was patient with me and my millions of questions, she really listened to me and help me find the best items to gift. Ended up buying all I needed for her gift and definitively will be coming back. I have already mentioned this store to a couple of my friends, it was an amazing shopping experience!

    Very friendly environment! I came in not knowing anything about crystals but wanting to get a gift for my girlfriend who loves them, and the person there was so helpful in showing and explaining the different types they had. Was a bit worried beforehand but I instantly felt at ease after entering the shop, absolutely would recommend :)

    I went there looking for a specific stone; the store is beautiful and has a large assortment of crystals and jewelry to buy. Decent prices too. However the staff working there the time I went were not so beautiful...(personality wise.) One lady was condescending towards me and had something annoying to say and talk about to her coworker after anything I said. The other lady seemed like she wasn’t really interested in hearing what her coworker was saying to her, which made it sort of funny. I asked a couple questions (No one offered help or knowledge) and they didn’t really have the answers I was looking for. Lucky I have knowledge about what I was looking for, I would recommend for anyone who wants to learn about crystals and educate themselves to go to Planet Batonix on Bank street. Much kinder staff and much more knowledgeable.

    My friend and I visited today after a long time of wanting to check out the store and walking in the doors we were so excited at the amazing selection of crystals and jewelry they had! It is truly such a beautiful store. The girl working there asked us if we needed help with anything or had any questions and seemed helpful. But we were in there for about five minutes browsing and then another customer approached the door. The store has a policy for only two customers at a time which I understand and appreciate because it’s a pretty small store. The worker then asked for a second time if we had any questions or needed any help with anything. And then several times after that during our short visit at the store. She told us someone was waiting at the door and continued to talk with us, rushing us out of the store. She said she is happy we came in and she will be happy next time we come in which seemed like she was implying it was time for us to leave. Her tone was condescending and it was not a comfortable experience. I felt a lot of pressure to hurry up and pick out what we were going to buy. My friend and I both had crystals in our hands and it was clear we were going to be purchasing stones, but our experience was cut short because there was one other person who was waiting. I understand it’s hard when there is a limit of only two people and it’s not fun for anyone to have to wait outside in the cold, but the workers priority was on the person outside who was not there for very long, and not with the two paying customers inside. She then told us not to feel rushed as we were paying, but we were already rushed to pick out our stuff and leave. It was just a very uncomfortable and anxiety inducing experience. Times are hard right now for everyone and shopping is stressful, but it is important to me in these times to support small businesses. However when the vibe is uncomfortable and we were rushed it is hard to recommend this store.

    Display upon display of pretty rocks, gems, jewelry, and interesting things. We really enjoyed our visit, and picked up some perfect gifts. This store is a place we'll definitely be back to!

    Very reasonable prices, and a fairly wide selection. They have polished stones, display pieces, beading strings and more. Friendly staff who are easy to chat with. Small store but worth a visit.

  • 1/5 Carol-lee S. 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    I’ve visited a few times and usually been helped by Skylar who is amazing but I was “helped” by a different worker on Friday night and was disappointed and uncomfortable . The worker was very inappropriate towards my friend, making comments about her appearance. The worker only seemed interested in helping her out? I was ignore the entire time, I had to ask to be cashed out because she was acting like I didn’t exist when I was waiting at the till. Very unprofessional and caused a lot of discomfort. Won’t be returning.

    I just stumbled upon this store while on a mini vacation in Ottawa. They have a wonderful selection of crystals for an avid crystal lover like me! Found so many great finds and a beautiful piece of kyanite set in silver that is moving my energy in so. many ways. I cannot wait for my next visit. Its little places like this that truly make discovering a new place worth while. Love Love Love all around.

    Tim and the staff at Kulu trading are so knowledgeable and friendly. Kulu trading is a must go to Ottawa crystal store that I find myself feeling at home and coming back to peace when life gets so crazy. I have found most of my favourite crystals I own at Kulu. Their prices are very fair and the value of the stones are exquisite. Love Love Love. Cannot recommend them enough.

    my favourite stone shop by far! prices are very reasonable, everything is authentic and sold correctly (with the proper/correct name, origin, and label), is very cozy and has the best variety i’ve seen :) also, i never felt rushed, pressured, and was completely comfortable. very good service! also, for those of you who care; there is little to no smell (ie. incense)

😠 I would give them a 0-review if I could. Quite frankly the worst piercing place in Ottawa. I went in at approximately 2:30 pm on Wed Dec1st to get my second piercing done, and the piercer was rude.

😠 Us Africans need to do better. Simply having a store and doing the bare minimum of having products without good customer service is not acceptable. We aren't in Africa anymore, we know better, we should therefore do better. This review comes from a good place. Google needs a zero star feature.
