Minerals Unlimited

Today was my first time in there, and it was absolutely amazing. Ace, is wonderful, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I can see myself getting into some trouble here ($$$$) She ships orders also! Check this gem of a store out!!!

Love that the owner was adamant about wearing masks. But I took mine off in a solitary corner because it was hot and i was having a hard time breathing. Noticed that the other Male customer was not wearing a mask. But she raised her voice to me to put my mask on. Hummm could this be because I was looking at a $25 item and he was looking at a $200 item? I would have given her 5 stars on her selection. But her prices were a bit high and her Customer service sucked.

I drove by a few times before having time to stop. It was worth it. The owner, Ace, is very nice and helpful. I bought some beeds and some rocks. The prices were decent. I have gone back twice but they were on vacation and now, I see a posting of hours. I really wanted to show my husband this place but will have to do it another time.

Absolutely my favorite place in town! I picked out a beautiful obsidian piece and Ace wrapped it for me! I needed it in a rush and picked it up the next day! Also so many very unique pieces.

This is one of the most unique stores in Ridgecrest. The proprietor is named Wendi, but she goes by Ace, a second generation owner of Minerals Unlimited.I stopped by this little "gem" (no pun intended) just to have a look, and I happened to be in there with a very passionate customer who left with a whole box of minerals to use in his own collection. Anyone who have been to the American Museum of Natural History in NYC's mineral and enjoyed it will certainly spend a while browsing the drawers in here.The front door opens up to the warehouse, so just walk right through to the end which is the gift shop. Ace makes jewelry by hand, and also takes custom orders. I left with a bunch of fossil shark teeth and a brachiopod (a thing that looks like a clam but isn't even closely related) from the Paleozoic.I'll be back soon!

Recommended by a co-worker, I stopped by here passing through for work today. By far, Minerals Unlimited is the COOLEST place I've been to in a very long time. The proprietor is super nice and she even makes jewelry that she sells at a very reasonable price - her wire wrapped pendants are pretty spectacular. Being a natural science geek (biologist for a living) I got a lovely specimen for a darn good price. If you're in the area or off the 14/178 you gotta stop by and check this place out. You will not be disappointed and will most likely leave with a new, unique treasure!

Great little place! Wendy "Ace" really goes out of here way to help you. the shop is full of all kinds of mineral, jewelry, (made by her and others), gift ideas. I was really surprised! Don't let the outside fool you, treasures abound!
