Purple Tornado rocks & antiques

literally one of the coolest crystal shops ive been to. john gives fair prices and all of the crystals are good quality. highly recommend!!!!

I went to this place to look for a nice gift for my grandpa birthday. I had to choose between these three rocks. I decided to choose the lunarite (the sea blue rock) and the man there was very welcoming and nice. I’ll definitely come here another time when I get the chance!

Love this place. Really cool stuff I haven't seen anywhere else. Came from Oregon to see some friends and we stopped by here, I'm glad we took the time to! The owner is very nice and knowledgeable about everything he has. My friends and I came away with some very cool and unique treasures. I really reccomend stopping by if you like unique antiques and/or want to find some super cheap crystals!

Driven by here for years and finally decided to stop by. Lots of beautiful rocks to look through. I think he needs to polish up some older pieces and add more finished jewelry but that’s personal opinion. Enjoyed the stop!

UPDATE: Another amazing and wonderful stop by John's truly awesome, unique, and downright special shop. If you have never been, GO! You will not be disappointed. Call before you go to make sure they are open. He is a true wealth of knowledge and advice.

Awesome shop. My lady and I decided to make the short drive from Seattle to discover the wonderland that is Purple Tornado Art Studio, Antiques, Rock and Lapidary Shop in Issaquah. Proprietor, Collector, and extremely knowledgeable John W. answered all our many questions about his amazing selection of not only Antiques and Oddities but also huge selection of top quality minerals, gems, and jewelry. He gave us a very fair price on our treasures. Great shop + Friendly and Knowledgeable Owner + Amazing Collection = an A+ establishment. We will definitely be returning an definitely taking a class with John. Awesome adventure!! Call before you go!

Side note, If I hear about another person stealing from him I swear I will track you down and deal with you myself. DO NOT STEAL FROM SUCH A KIND AND CARING PERSON...OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER.
