Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

So much to choose from. I settled on a unique silver pendant with blue gold stone. I could easily have bought so much more...

What an amazing shop. When you walk in the space is full of beautiful crystals, fossils, jewellery and so much to look at. Kate was very kind to us and spent ages with us sharing her vast knowledge and advising us about the best crystals for us. We didn’t want to leave it was such a good experience.

There was so much to see that I'm sure that I didn't do it all complete justice. There's something for every budget and if you are looking for something specific, or need help with acquiring the appropriate crystal, you only have to ask. I treat myself to a seaside souvenir with a difference.

Absolutely gorgeous shop. Such a verity and so many lovely items. The shop keeper was incredibly helpful and friendly, and it was a joy talking to her. Cannot recommend enough.

I arrived at little Gems to see their wonderful crystals. I was disgusted whilst in the shop another customer complained to the assistant Kate that she was chatting too much & that he had to wait too long!
He was so nasty to her & it upset her.
Kate always delivers the best customer service & is such a lovely person always willing to go the extra mile!
I personally love little Gems and visit when I can.
Kate you carry on the great work & the love you show. This poor excuse of a man should of been ashamed of himself. Raelene

Myself and my daughter, who is fascinated with crystals, visited today. We were on a short break from another county and specifically came to Cromer to visit your shop. She is autistic and leaving the house is a challenge for her but the thought of crystals made her go!

We entered the shop, sanitized our hands as requested on entrance and apart from us only 2 other customers and the lady behind the till. We felt safe (with the current COVID situation to be in the small shop)

However I was really disappointed to hear the lady behind the roll talking very loudly about how she felt about tourists to the area. It was clear she wasn’t happy about visiting people coming to Cromer, not knowing what they have got etc and not social distancing.

I felt very unwelcome in the shop as we aren’t locals and she was making her views very clear to the other couple.

We kept our distance around the shop, just looking, not touching anything. Then a group of 5 other people entered and what is a small shop I felt it was too many people and we decided to leave.

It was a real shame from what we heard being said how it made us feel, we wanted to spend money and support a local business, especially with the current pandemic you would think any support would be welcome. Sadly we didn’t feel welcome or then safe in what became a full shop in a small space.

One day we may visit again, once all this is hopefully over and feel welcomed.

On the plus side, your little shop is delightful and we would have loved to have spent plenty of time talking and looking at the beautiful crystals.

I've been here a good number of times and bought polishing gear, stones/crystals, all sorts.
It's a fairly small shop, but it's full of goodies!
They are also very knowledgeable and answer all the questions you could throw at them.
Every now and again they open their warehouse, which is just down the road, lot's more stuff on display and usually a free cup of tea/coffee, what more could you want?
Visit the shop and if you can visit the warehouse, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you, it's always such good fun coming in here. What should have been a quickish visit always takes at least an hour!
