 The Princess Sodalite
Mine Rock Shop has been a unique shopping experience to all
visiting Canada’s Mineral Capital, Bancroft for many years The
ever changing selection of beginner to museum quality local and
world wide minerals along with the expanding selection of fossil
specimens available keep collectors returning annually to add to
their collections. The mine continues to produce an abundance of
Sodalite in all quantities from collector specimens to large
garden pieces.
The "Princess Collection", our unique selection of
sterling silver jewellery crafted exclusively for the Princess
Sodalite Mine Rock Shop using the Sodalite from this mine, is
greatly expanding with the addition of another two silversmiths.
Each piece purchased comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
If gifts items are what you’re looking for, we continue to carry
the customer favourites. Candle holders in both wood and stone,
stone bookends, carvings and wind chimes. Red Neck wine glasses
and cast iron whimsical items are only a couple of "newbies'
suitable for both the home and cottage.
Our literature selection is sprouting also, with books relating
to metaphysical, crystals and spirituality. Tarot cards as well as kits relating to the different
areas of ones journey.
As the worlds understanding and knowledge grow where alternative
healing and the metaphysical are concerned so does our self
named Healy Feely Section. What started out with a few crystals
and a Chakra kit years ago has now begun to take over sections
of the store. Pendulums, wands, spheres, geometric shaped
crystals, Introduction to Alternative Healing kits, meditation
strands, singing bowls and a variety of Hindu and Buddhist
statues are just some of the things you will see when you visit
us. Don’t forget to check out our metaphysical wall, here you
will find nearly a hundred pre bagged minerals with a label
describing their metaphysical abilities.
We make it our ongoing quest to search out the new and
latest healing crystals. Lemurian Quartz, Amegreen, Moldavite,
Watermelon Tourmaline, Rutilated Quartz, Diopside, Celestite and
Quantum Quatro are only a small selection "Natures Treasures"
that can be found in our collection.
