"Beloved 35-Year-Old Mineralistic Store on South Street to Close Its Doors"
After 35 years, Mineralistic, a South Street store specializing in crystals and tumbled stones, is closing its doors as business steadily declined. The store's owners, Sal and Janice LaMarco, are preparing for a big transition after being the store's only staff for the last six or seven years. The store's fantastical interior and eclectic offerings have attracted a diverse customer base, but online reviews are sharply divided. Despite the challenges, the LaMarcos are grateful for their time in Philadelphia and the connections they've made through their store.
