My granddaughter loves gems and she was so excited. We saw some very unusual and rare pieces including the phantom quartz just in from an Indian mine. She can’t wait to go back.

Ive had the pleasure to meet Haroon and his wife and family relatively recently. My wife and I were visiting a mineral exhibit in Hickory NC when we had the opportunity to interact with him.Right from the start, he was warm, welcoming and willing to share information about everything he knew. I bought as much as I could from him that day. As the weeks and months went by I ran into him again and again. And as always, very humble and helpful.I discovered he had a retail location close to me and now I try and swing by to say hello whenever I can. Their shop is clean and organized. Very happy that they are so close.-Austin and Jenni

Whether an avid collector or just starting out, Gem Avenue is a must-see. From their beautiful specimens for display down to the cut stones, there’s something for everyone. I could spend hours in there shopping. They truly have a huge selection of rocks, crystals, gems, fossils, jewelry and more.Haroon and his family are warm and welcoming. They are extremely knowledgeable about all the items they sell taking the shopping experience to a whole other level.We first met them at the Rock and Gem show in Gastonia and were sure to make a trip to their store after that. Their prices are very fair and I can’t imagine going anywhere else in the Charlotte area anymore.

The best place to find rare crystals. Stopping here made my day. This is a local family owned gem shop that will leave you completely astonished. They have been selling for over 2 decades. They did not disappoint in knowledge of each individual gem. I am so grateful to have found this place.

I really liked this place, walked in and had a very nice smell, searched around a bit and was offered help . Really liked how nice everyone was, gave good help . I will be going back . Found about 8 items I really loved & they even have jewelry! This gem should be the number 1 shop in Charlotte ! Love it 🥰

I am from out of state but visit NC often, and always go looking for gem stores when in the area. This store is amazing, the owner and his family are the kindest people with a wealth of knowledge about their products. I have always been treated with the utmost kindness and respect, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. They have a beautiful display of specimens, fine jewelry, tumbled stones, and many others to choose from. Its impossible to walk out of here empty handed. Every piece I have bought from this store has been great quality. Definitely check out this shop, and support their business.

Decided to visit after doing some research online about crystal shops in the area, while out with one of my best friends we decided to check it out and we were not disappointed. The people were very friendly and knowledge about everything they sold. I was able to find some really great crystals that I’m very happy with. We will be returning with our other friend very soon, and we are so excited.

Review №19

I love Gem Avenue! I moved from Arizona recently and have been searching for a new gem shop and Gem Avenue is perfect. The owners were so kind and they have tons of jewelry, raw stones and tumbled and some beautiful tapestries. I one hundred percent recommend checking them out if you live in Charlotte or are visiting. Check online for their extensive jewelry collection and remember what you like and ask to see it in the shop. There’s hundreds of jewelry pieces in the back but easier to look online first! I’ll definitely be back!

First time coming and it was a very welcoming experience! Nadeem helped us pick out a few beautiful pieces, giving us details about each mineral/crystal we picked out. He also showed us some larger beautiful pieces that we might be interested in, in the future. We’ll definitely be coming back again! :)

I found this place from a Google search and just had to visit after seeing the photos. I’m so glad I did, and Gem Avenue will be my go-to spot from now on. There’s a HUGE selection of all types of gemstones, all shapes, sizes, tumbled, rough, individually, by the pound, etc. There are some absolutely gorgeous display specimens. Just about anything you’re looking for, it’s here. The owner is a very nice man and very helpful. You can tell he loves what he does. I can’t wait to go back!

I love this place!! I was on a trip to Carowinds and wanted to go to a nearby crystal store because the only crystal stores I visit are in my hometown.

I had some questions and the staff were happy to help. 10/10 would visit again! Thank you gem avenue!!

My 10 year old is getting into minerals and crystals so we visited this store for the first time. We were absolutely blown away. I honestly dont know which was better, the selection of crystals or the knowledge and graciousness of everyone there. Vadim was both erudite and incredibly patient with my daughter. I cannot recommend this store highly enough.

What a fantastic find Gem Avenue is! My daughter and grandfather both have collected rocks, minerals, and fossils as long as I can remember. We’ve traveled to several shops in the country. Mr.Sait was very knowledgeable, professional, and patient with all of us today. We were impressed with the good selection, prices, and hospitality of everyone we met. Loved all of our many purchases and plan to come back when we are in town again. If you are looking for any Amethyst, Quartz, Malachite, etc. this is the place. Thank you again for your friendliness and time and we will visit when we’re back in town.

Excellent experience. Gem Avenue is the by far the best crystal store in the Charlotte area. It has the largest selection of crystals in all forms (raw, polished, natural crystals, cut, cluster, etc). The owner of the store is very knowledgeable and is more than happy to help, teach, and answer any questions. The prices are very reasonable for incredible pieces. It is the only gem store I frequent. 5 out of 5 review.

I’ve been trying to find a place in Charlotte that provides all kinds of crystals. I’ve been to one in Uptown Charlotte but it does not compare to Gem Avenue at all. Gem Avenue is such a cool place with so many crystals to choose from. The people who work there are so kind and sweet. They make sure to come to you and ask if you need help with anything. Highly recommend everyone to check this place out!

If you’re looking for gems of all kind, go to Gem Avenue! The owners were so incredibly kind and welcoming, especially to my partner and I, who were new to the shop and heard of it through the owner’s son’s TikTok! You can definitely tell how passionate the gentleman at the front of the store is about his business, especially considering it took little time for him to recognize exactly what we’d picked out! I will definitely be returning in the near future and bringing friends to check out the gorgeous selection of rocks, gems, jewelry and more that they have!

Mr. Sait was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I don’t consider it to be a typical metaphysical shop. The store was laid out very organized and the gems are labeled with origin. Mr. Sait said that he is working on getting labels on EVERYTHING. I expected it to be a New Age store but it is a professional gem store and Islamic faith store and many the gems are sourced from Pakistan and India.
