This is an amazing store! They have amazing products, but they also go much further... If you are new to learning about rocks and gemstones, this is a great shop to go to. They are passionate about the products they sell and they love to teach you things if you are curious to learn! John offered to let me cut open my first agates ever on a slow day FOR FREE because I had been shopping there so much! This staff truly launched my LOVE for geology and lapidary. I haven't been in a while because I don't want to go broke ? I would say 80% of my massive crystal collection comes from this shop. They are ethical and often mine and polish their own product. They are sure their products are acquired appropriately, and not all shops will take enough pride to ensure this. I can trust that the money I spend is on products that are appropriately priced and ethically obtained.
I hope I can get to one of their lapidary classes or trips some day, I love John and his crew truly! I have sent a lot of people to this shop. Planning on stopping by soon to say hi to the friends!
Much love to you all!!!

ZRS Fossils & Gifts is my favorite crystal shop in the cities. Prices are affordable, good welcoming shop. We are repeat customers. I have been going to them for a few years now. Today I bought myself a beautiful Amber ring from this shop. My daughter wanted to go to the shop, and I went in, not looking for anything particular. I bought myself this stunning ring. They went above and beyond to help us.

This store is absolutely disappointing. With all of Minneapolis detours and road construction delays it was very tough to get to. Then there is no parking available. Once inside the store does look nice. We went there for some sodalite---known as yooperlite (fluoresces under blacklight)...we were sold ten 10 stones and a large one....all said to be. Yeah, when we got back to the RV and to the kids with the blacklight...not one. A total rip-off. I am now the proud owner of 10 rocks that I could have picked up in a gravel bed right outside the RV. Thanks. You are not worth the effort to get back. Keep the money.

I read your saving face comments concerning my review......So, Whatever Dude. Normally, I would let your saving face comments slide. Not this time. We did encounter detours and road construction and it was frustrating to drive in...true. There was no available parking near the store...also true. We did park at the rear wall of your building where two (2) other cars were parked...again true. BUT, none of that frustration was directed at you or your business. Your female sales clerk never, NEVER, said anything about parking 1/2 block away (she and my wife had that conversation), your female sales clerk showed us where the sodalite was located. I specifically asked her if this fluoresce under blacklight and she said..."YES". We then selected a larger stone as well and I asked to use the stores blacklight and was told that you had it with you. We hurriedly paid and left due to the parking issue. AND that is exactly it.
So, truly don't care about any platitudes you may have or anything that will help you sleep through the night. You lied. Your store personnel lied. And I am done with you. The good thing here is---I get to see you in my rearview mirror when I leave. Keep the $10...you earned it or give it to the sales clerk lady for a good sale. Whatever.

Kent was very knowledgeable and a great help finding stones for gifts. Very affordable and a wide selection. Definitely worth checking out if looking for stones, crystals, fossils or other cool merchandise!

One of my favorite spots in uptown. There are so few fossil and mineral shops in the area, but ZRS makes up for the lack of other shops. Always very helpful staff with good knowledge. I love the selection and find myself visiting monthly!
