The Crystal Limit

The Crystal Limit is a long-established crystal and mineral shop on South Higgins Avenue in downtown Missoula. It carries crystals, minerals and fossils, a large selection of beads for jewelry making, handmade jewelry and gifts, and is a regular stop for both collectors and beaders.

Being in the heart of downtown, it is easy to combine with a walk along Higgins Avenue and the Clark Fork riverfront. The shop is a member of the Downtown Missoula Partnership.

The Crystal Limit is at 119 S Higgins Ave. Call (406) 549-1729 to check current hours or ask about specific stones and beads.

Higgins Avenue is the main street of downtown Missoula, with plenty of cafes and shops nearby. Jewelry makers looking for specific beads or findings should call ahead to check availability. Alongside polished pieces, the shop's mineral and fossil stock makes it worth a look for rockhounds visiting western Montana. Beaders will also find strands in many stone types, which makes it a useful supply stop for jewelry projects, and gift shoppers can pick up finished handmade pieces.
