Crystal Warehouse - Australia

Thank you to everyone who has come out to say farewell.
It has meant a great deal to see so many familiar faces in the shed these past weeks, and to hear the stories that come with them.

We’re now open every day until 31 October, 10am to 4pm, so there’s still time if you haven’t made it out yet.

💎 50% off all jewellery
💎 20% off quartz crystals (net-priced pieces excepted)

Much of what’s on our shelves came out of our own ground and was cut and polished in our own warehouse. And so much more from around the world!

‼️ CLOSING DOWN SALE ‼️

After 65 years in Orange Grove, the Gem Shop and Crystal Warehouse is closing down. Come and say farewell!

It started with a mine. In 1959, the Soklich family acquired the Great Australian Amethyst Mine — Australian amethyst that went out to the world and on the map of the international gem trade. Other leases of Australian minerals followed, and those leases remain the backbone of the business to this day.
The Crystal Warehouse came later. Rough rock off the mining leases directly were cut and polished on site — lapidary saws, vibrating laps, long days in the shed at Orange Grove. The late Frank built a reputation for lapidary work of a standard few in this country could match, and his son Martin carries it now. Between them they are known well beyond Australia for it.
The Gem Shop opened with a handful of rough stones on a bench. Interest grew, and so did the shelves: polished and cut stones, carvings, jewellery, specimens. From there came wholesale, then export, and then the world’s biggest gem show in Tucson — where Soklich Trading has shown Australian minerals to the world’s collectors every year since the 1970’s, and still does.

After decades at Orange Grove, the property is sold and we are moving on.

The mining continues. The leases stay in the family and Soklich Trading Company carries on. But the Gem Shop closes, and with it the only place this material has ever been sold across a counter. Much of what is on the floor came out of our own ground and passed through our own hands, and once it leaves the shed it won’t be replaced.

If you have been meaning to come out to Dale Place, this is the last opportunity.

MAX’S HOT PICK: Madagascan Petrified Wood

Wood that turned to stone. Over 200 million years ago these were living trees, buried under sediment. Mineral-rich groundwater slowly replaced the wood with silica, cell by cell, until it was solid stone. Look closely and the original grain and growth rings are still right there.

It’s the stone of transformation — proof that change doesn’t have to mean losing what you were. Something of the original stays while it becomes something entirely new.
Come see it in person. These pieces photograph well, but they’re even better in your hands.

🕙 Fri, Sat & Sun, 10am–4pm
