Manic Mermaid Minerals

Omg I found a new place to visit and buy my gadgets! Pricing was reasonable and the lady and man working there were so helpful and friendly! I will definitely go back. This is at the Tacoma waterfront and there are so many things to see and do in that area. I went somewhere else first but it wasn't feeling right, so I goggled a place to buy some items and this was the top pick. There were so many people in the store from young kids to older adults. Great location and a lot to choose from! Worth the drive.

I love this shop so much!
The owners are lovely and go above and beyond every time. Most recently, I stopped in to find a small gift for participants of a class I was teaching on Christmas Day. I had a small budget to work with, but they helped me find the perfect gifts and wrapped them so beautifully, making them truly special. The recipients were beyond thrilled with them.

This is such an amazing rock and crystal store. The price are fair and has a great black light section. I will visit this store again. The gentleman running the store had great knowledge of what he carries and was very friendly. AMAZING STORE.

This place is extremely cool; they don’t have a ton of square footage but they make up for it by being packed with awesome stuff! Lots of cute mini carvings, little plastic display pieces for small slabs & spheres (you KNOW you don’t have enough at home), ready-to-gift pendants (they have ROMAN GLASS!!!) There was stuff I hadn’t seen in-person before like blue amber and “unicorn stone” (lepidolite + pink tourmaline + smokey quartz).

Learned at the shop that some fluorites glow under UV, so I got a cool English Weardale fluorite. They have some buckets of big rough Washington carnelians and jaspers, of which I need to go back for a few more chunks…

Also wanna note that the staff were knowledgeable and absolutely awesome! SUCH a fun place to take a look and find some treasures. It’s a great addition to Point Ruston and adds to the fun. Absolutely will have to visit again SOON!

I got a free carnelian as a gift from a kindhearted old man, and it really made my day. The location was in Point Ruston, and I enjoyed my time there because he was patient in what I was looking for. I didn't even realize it was closing hours when I was searching for a crystal or stone that I was interested in buying.

The old man told me to keep it even if I insisted on paying.. It was only $5.. He said to me as he insisted, "Everyone needs a carnelian in their life."

It really made my day, and I still kept the carnelian to this day.

To the old man of the shop in Point Ruston..
Thank you for making my day feel magically special..

I have so many wonderful things to say about this place. Starting from the top, the owner is incredible. He's so much fun to talk to and he's created an incredible place. The variety of the inventory feels vast and there's an answer for every question. I've been a few times and all of his staff members I've met have been lovely and brilliant. I LOVE it here

I got my 90 year old grandfather a rather unique gift and absolutely loved it! Thank you again!

The employees are so friendly and kind. The man at the counter gave my child a cool rock and listened to her chatter on endlessly. They are always so patient with all her questions and stories. It's sweet.
Lots of pretty crystals and stones. A little pricey, but probably because of the location. Still worth it for the pleasant service.

Lots of great treasures to be found here, which includes the owner. They were very knowledgeable about the crystals/minerals and even gave us an insider scoop to some local beaches while we browsed.

Large selection of jewelry, gifts, and crystals available. Great staff. Great location.

First of all, this place is one of the most intriguing places in Ruston point and an absolute must-see stop. The owner is friendly and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about every item in the shop and you can tell they have genuine vested interest in what they have. They have everything geological from crystals to gems and even fossils! This is by far the best metaphysical/geological shop in the area.

Janelle and Charles are wonderful shop owners. Attentive and they ALWAYS go the distance to help a customer out. The selection here is top rate. I have recently been to similar shops and this shop values quality over quantity, while still having a great selection! And the decor and displays are always top notch!

Absolutely great store with a huge variety of rocks and minerals. The owner is very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and those are qualities seemingly lost in this world today.

Went in with my daughter and they were just thee best! Will stop by any time we are in Ruston for sure! Really a great little shop!!!

Awesome shop. Friendly staff. Had everything i needed for my rock painting hobbie and found a gift for my mother

Wonderful shop! So welcoming and knowledgeable, I appriciate that she took her time to explain things and show substitutes for what we were looking for. They also have Military/Veteran discount which is always greatly appreciated!

Great place. The place has so many different types of rocks and the people working there are so nice and helpful. There are also great chocolates and amazing incense.

A community we call family. Not boring. Great gifts. Great prices. Good people.

Was not aware that you need a appointment due to the world being a hot mess. I was grateful for all the help with the crystals and their knowledge and experience with what I was looking for. I was impressed with the customer service and kindness of allowing me to come in with out the appointment. If I had a chance to buy everything I would like I would be living with positive energy and prosperity with a cleanse house and a grounded mind.

This is such an amazing store!! The owners are truly amazing- so king and caring. They have so many great products and events (pre-covid) but they still have great online events too. We love coming here! Always something fun to find there!

Nice place, check it out. They are very interested in good customer service, that's pretty clear when they care enough to respond to reviews, hence the 5 star rating. Park in the structure, free for an hour, and businesses will validate!
