The Old and Curious Reviews 8

We greatly appreciate the mystery box; our son absolutely enjoys it!

What a find - with no expectations of the sheer wonder ahead, I travelled to their new site to “pick up a few crystals” to add to my small collection - little did I know I would be returning home with a bag full of treasures, having spent a wonderful 2 hours in the company of the incredibly knowledgeable Kerr, a generous and warm hearted spirit, with a lot of patience! Happy to describe the many attributes of the crystals I was not familiar with, interlaced with details of source, origin and when and where he had purchased them. A must visit if you are looking for a little pocket of magic, not the most glamorous setting but you are seriously entering wonderland when you step inside. Enjoy, Kerr has created something very special.

**Review of The Old & Curious in East Grinstead**

If you're looking for a hidden gem in East Grinstead, The Old & Curious (O&C) is a must-visit! This charming shop offers an impressive selection of crystals and fossils that will delight both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The shop is beautifully organised, with crystals of all shapes, sizes, and colors displayed in a way that makes browsing a pleasure. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their items, always ready to offer insights or help you find exactly what you're looking for.

One of the standout features of the Old & Curious is the variety of unique fossils available. Each piece tells a story, and the staff can provide fascinating information about their origins. Whether you're a collector or just looking for a special gift, the selection is diverse enough to cater to all tastes.

Prices are reasonable, and there’s a good range of options for every budget. Plus, the shop often hosts workshops and events, which are a great way to learn more about crystals and their uses.

Overall, The Old & Curious is not just a shop; it’s an experience. With its friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and stunning selection, it’s a place where you can truly connect with the beauty of nature. I highly recommend stopping by if you find yourself in East Grinstead! Although, sadly, moving out to a great new location in a few miles away, in the new year.

I bought a few of the fluorite Pokémon figures for my son's birthday, very easy to order online and opted for pick up from store which was no trouble at all. Items were ready to go.
My son is a big Pokémon fan and loved the minis and is proudly displaying in his room - need to add a few more to the collection now!

Thank you so much for the mystery box, our son loves them!

quality items, fast delivery
only thing missing was a little fact card on the item I bought for a gift (crystal bracelet). a small touch that would have made things perfect.

Fast and easy purchases, with great communication.

Very pleased with my first purchase from this shop, I spent a fair amount and was well worth it. Quality gemstones, exactly what I was looking for, excellent craftsmanship with the hand carved stones. Great communication when I needed more information. Excellent service, well packed and delivered.
