Nature Gallery

Almost everything in this store is ridiculously over-​priced, the selection is small, and the owner is snobby and dismissive if you’re not one of her big-​spending regulars. I am an avid gem and mineral collector and the first time I visited this store, I was impressed with the beauty of everything on display and the friendliness of the saleswoman helping me. During my next two visits when I asked the owner if she had specific items, she said, «No,» dismissively and ignored me for other customers. Other stores have happily taken my contact info in case their suppliers have what I want or they get a shipment in. Everything for sale in the store is lovely. Considering the ridiculous prices and horrible attitude of the owner, I prefer Shady Lane or East West Bookshop for quality service and fair prices. Quite frankly, if you don’t look rich (or white) I doubt you’ll get good service here.

This place is absolutely amazing. The gallery and natural pieces on display are incredible. Every single piece in the store is absolutely stunning. The owner Carol, is so sweet she is adorable. I will definitely be coming back to her store and I recommend anyone who is interested in rocks or minerals to check the store out it is by far the best natural rock display I’ve seen. Much love

I love Nature Gallery. You could spend a lot here if you wanted to buy a coffee table, say, but there are tons of reasonably priced items — jewelry, home décor items, beautiful crystal formations, etc. A great place to shop for gifts although if you’re like me you’ll walk out with something for yourself too.
Another great feature of Nature Gallery is the little hidden chest for kids, where they select kid-​priced treasures. Carol, the owner, told us how fun it is to have customers return with their carefully saved allowances. So sweet!

I have been using this store for many years for unusual and beautiful gifts. Now that they are in this lovely, larger store in Los altos they are a bit farther but I still plan to go here for those special lovely items.

Went in for crystals after my yoga teacher used them in class one day. Carol, the owner was quite knowledgeable. I got a few stones and I’ll be back for more.

If you are looking for one-​of-​a-​kind rocks, gems, semi-​precious stones, jewelry, minerals, fossils, etc… You have to visit Nature Gallery!
I recently found this ‘gem’ of a place in Palo Alto, Town & Country Center. Carol, the owner, has been there for 20 years. She hand picks everything. You’ll find 3 – 4 foot amethyst eggs. Fossils of every kind. Hand made jewelry that is out of this world. And items too incredible to even describe!
If you are a corporate executive looking to ‘spruce up’ your lobby or office, Carol has just the right piece. If you are looking for a one-​of-​a-​kind present for that special someone, you will find it at Nature Gallery.
Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and variety!
You won’t be disappointed! I promise.

PS. Right off of the El Camino.

Precious rocks and speciality items such as chess sets made of jade.
Several display cases, five to be exact, that protrude from the outside of the establishment that display some very nice natural items.
I have browsed around and the items are too expensive for me plus they are not the types of things that i buy: gem stone rocks, chess sets, jewelry made of rock stones, etc.
Small quaint store that had a «be back in 15 minutes» sign posted at 1:30 pm in the afternoon.
