The Passionate Collector Behind the Shop

Welcome to Pacific Coral and Crystals, your one-stop shop for natural history-related items turned into exquisite interior decorations. Some of you may already know me as Pacific Coral and Seashell, but I decided to change my name to reflect the crystal and mineral side of things, which I have always done, but that wasn't clearly reflected in my name. I specialize in coral pieces, crystal pieces, antiquities, art, jewlelry, and other oddities. My inventory is always changing. Some items I get a limited quantiy of and when they are gone, they are gone. Other things I am able to keep replenished. I offer a unique blend of decorative and collectable items that are sure to add a touch of the natural and organic world to your world.

My passion for natural oddities, from  plants to seashells and minerals, and more, was cultivated from an early age, fueling my commitment to providing high-quality decorator quality specimens. My father was an avid collector of rare plants and always had an interest in everything natural. As a kid I would tag along with him while he collected reptiles and insects in the local areas around Los Angeles. We would visit plant nurseries and I would eventually assist him at his own mail-order rare plant nursery. This was before everything went online.

My name is, Eric Wrinkle, and I have been in this business for about 13 years now and this is my second website. For those of you who already know me, welcome back, and to those of you who are new, I hope you will enjoy browsing my offerings, and hopefully you will find some amazing things that are of interest to you. 

I am indeed a small business and personally manage every aspect of what happens here and I am learning everyday how to improve my operation and deliver a better sevice to you. I am dedicated to honesty and transparency and I am available to answer any questions you might have. Please don't hesitate to contact me. As such, I am not a "big-box" online retailer with unlimited resources and an extensive staff. I'm it...for now.
