About
One review notes this shop has "crystal cocks cut from real quartz" and a Victorian interior with nude male statues. Rock Star Crystals is gay-owned and located in Chelsea, one of NYC's gayest neighborhoods. They claim the largest crystal and mineral selection in the city, with thousands of items including fine minerals, jewelry, meteorites, and fossils. The space feels like a gallery with spotlights on specimens.
"The decor is over-the-top Victorian style with nude male statues, alongside fine minerals displayed on pedestals with spotlights."
Open daily from noon to 8pm, it's dog-friendly and near the 7th Ave subway. The owners ran it from their Brooklyn basement for decades before opening the Chelsea store in 2015. You'll find affordable jewelry alongside high-end mineral specimens. If you're in the area, you can also explore Chelsea Market for more shopping.

An amazing crystal shop located in the heart of one of NYC's gayest neighborhoods. The owners are two gay men, and there are also gay staff members. Hard-to-find items like crystal cocks carved from real quartz are available. The decor is over-the-top Victorian style with nude male statues, alongside fine minerals displayed on pedestals with spotlights. Nice affordable jewelry makes it easy to find gifts for friends and family. Five stars!
