Manic Mermaid is a unique rock & crystal shop located at Point Ruston in Tacoma, WA. Our eclectic shop is filled with many bespoke treasures. We carry a wide variety of items including rocks & crystals, gifts, locally made chocolates, cards, sage & palosanto (ethically harvested), and locally made candles & incense.

We pride ourselves on hand choosing many of our crystal & rock treasures from miners and mining families we know from all over the world. These are wonderful quality, many one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. Our collection includes a wide variety of crystals & rocks from local Washington state pieces, to rare locales like Siberia and Inner Mongolia to meteorites from Mars.

Owners Charles and Janelle have been rockhounds since they were little – with Charles sneaking in to the local quarry after closing to hunt for fossils, and Janelle always in trouble at laundry time with all the rocks in her pockets. With decades of experience and great love for rocks, they can help you choose the perfect treasure for your collection or for a gift.

We pride ourselves on our unique pieces, including dinosaur bones, moldavite, unique one-of-a-kind specimens, and even a pocket of rare uv/daylight reactive fluorite that we own from the UK. These treasures make for great conversation pieces and are perfect for the collector looking for something truly special.

At Manic Mermaid, we welcome everyone to our shop – whether you are a beginner, looking for a gift, or have a request to fill your ever-growing collection. Our knowledgeable staff is always available to answer questions and guide customers in finding the perfect crystal for their needs. And parents, we encourage you to bring in your littles. We have bouncy floors, so need to worry if something tumbles onto the ground. And we also have fun things the kids can experience and hold – dinosaur bones, magalodon teeth, meteorites and more!

Whether you’re a seasoned rock collector or new to the world of crystals & rocks, Manic Mermaid is the perfect place to find your next treasure. Come visit us at Point Ruston and let us help you find the perfect crystal to enhance your life.
