Rainbow Minerals

Rainbow Minerals is a family-owned crystal and gemstone shop in Ottawa, founded in January 1983. It grew out of three generations of experience in the gold and silversmith trade and stone grading, and has been serving the city for more than 40 years.

The shop carries gemstones, minerals and crystals, palm stones and cabochons, plus beads and jewellery-making supplies such as findings, wire and tools, so it suits collectors, metaphysical shoppers and jewellery makers alike. The owners select products personally and visit many of their suppliers in their home countries, with a focus on quality, authenticity and honest prices. Workshops are also offered.

Find the shop at 2253 Gladwin Crescent, Unit A, Ottawa ON K1B 4K9, right beside the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Call (613) 733-8440 or toll-free 1-800-469-4697. Hours are Tuesday to Friday 10:30am to 5:30pm and Saturday 11am to 3:30pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
