Family Turns Hobby into a Rock-Solid Venture
Crystalworks Gallery is a family affair that sells fine crystals, fossils and mineral specimens ranging in price from $2 to $200,000
By Brian Morton, Vancouver Sun, June 2, 2010

“Karen Lipsett-Kidd and her mother Susan Lipsett know a little something about turning a longtime hobby into a small business that's, well, rock solid. As owners of Vancouver's Crystalworks Gallery at 1760 West Third, they sell fine crystals, mineral specimens and fossils from around the world as works of art. The company started up in 1985 after Karen, who as a child developed a love for collecting rocks, decided to turn her passion into a money-making venture.”
