Tiny Gems

A crystal and mineral shop at 257 King Street in downtown Midland, run by owners Carolyn and Alan Craig, rock-hounds who met digging for stones and turned a shared passion into a store.

It began as an online shop selling Carolyn’s crystal jewellery and grew into a bricks-and-mortar store within two years, later moving to the larger King Street space. Alan runs the online and wholesale side; Carolyn manages the retail floor and knows the properties and uses of each stone.

The shop carries crystals, minerals, fossils, sterling silver and gemstone jewellery, beads, tarot, incense, home decor and gifts. It stocks over 200 types of tumbled stone, most tumbled in-house, with prices starting low. Raw materials are sourced from Thunder Bay and Bancroft as well as Africa and South America.

Carolyn runs jewellery-making and crystal classes, including a geology talk aimed at school-age kids.
