Atypical Apothecary

The ladies here are SO sweet and were very patient with our party of four. They are very knowledgeable and gave us great suggestions. We got an assortment of different goodies and we cannot wait to go back. They definitely made the trip from Buda worth it!

Stopped in on Friday for my birthday to pick out some crystals, and am still just absolutely in awe at how sweet both of the women in the shop were. The owner even took the time to sit down and do a tarot pull/reading as a little birthday gift, which was so enlightening and really brought me such clarity on some things I’ve been experiencing and dealing with. The selection of crystals and crystal variety was beyond immaculate and I truly am so in love with the pieces I picked out. 100% will be my go to crystal shop from here on out.

Yesterday (9/7/25) was my first and last time visiting this rock shop. From the moment we walked in, the energy from the younger staff member felt very negative and uncomfortable. I’ve been to many crystal and rock stores before and never experienced that kind of atmosphere. Just Negative. It genuinely felt like we were being watched the entire time, which made browsing unpleasant. My friend noticed the same thing and even told me, “let it go—it’s not your negative energy; it’s hers.” My friends and I spent probably close to $150, but were still met with constant staring and a very curt “we close in 10 minutes,” which came across as rude and unnecessary since we were already aware of the time. The older lady that was there was super sweet to me when I found malachite I hadn’t seen in other stores. This month marks 2 years without my grandpa. And that rock, although I didn’t go there for that rock, ended up speaking to me and I knew I had to have it. The older lady listened to me while I noticed the younger girl staring me down into my soul. It was SO very weird. We were all so excited to visit this rock shop we saw on Google maps. We were ALL in a good mood, and her mood didn’t change or add to our day. Just made me feel very uncomfortable that 20 minutes or so that we were there. I saw this on the wall on the way out the door and thought it was a good idea because the people that stole from y’all are on blast and now other ppl can see them too. And also an oxymoron because a staff member had negative energy. We brought in good energy were met with whatever that was. Stop watching me. I’m not ganna steal from you. I definitely will not go back to this one.

I love the ambient of this place it smells really good, nice people.
