Crystal &Minerals has made its home at the Coronado Ferry Landing for three years, but spokesperson Farid is no stranger to Coronado. His first endeavor in the same space was Cool Lights ~ Christmas All Year<\/a>, which opened in November 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Christmas store was seasonal, and business was good during Christmas-time,\u201d Farid shares. \u201cHowever, crystals and jewelry are an everyday product and have been highly in demand.\u201d Farid has experience with both crystals and minerals. His first store featuring these items was across the bay in Seaport Village. He shares, \u201cI was traveling overseas, and I came across these ideas, and I wanted to sell something that I could get from Istanbul and Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n

An overseas experience locally<\/p>\n

The Coronado Visitor Center refers to Crystals and Minerals as \u201can Aladdin\u2019s Cave of mosaic lamps, crystals, jewelry, and geodes.\u201d ~ Dream Day at Coronado Ferry Landing \u2013 Coronado Visitor Center<\/a><\/p>\n

Farid\u2019s niche is jewelry and minerals, with a lot of the jewelry from overseas \u2013 from Turkey, from Greece. They have rocks, minerals, and crystals too.<\/p>\n

To keep his products fresh, Farid prioritizes traveling to see the merchandise firsthand and being inspired. His current itinerary includes a visit to China in October, and he plans to visit Turkey and Greece in November, sharing the authentic experience with customers. \u201c<\/strong>Every time I go, I try to bring new stuff, exciting things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both tourists and locals visit the store, and Farid appreciates the local business. \u201cI just love the island and the environment. I love that the management is really good at the Ferry Landing.\u201d<\/p>\n

To make a full day adventure surrounding crystals and minerals, leave the Coronado Ferry Landing and take a ride across the bay on the ferry<\/a>, then head to Seaport Village where you\u2019ll find the Istanbul Jewelry shop with more unique treasures.<\/p>\n
