Makanda Trading Company

Hand made jewelry and crafts from Makanda "Dave." Always a smooth flavor, pleasant odor - pass down the left hand side. Thank you for the visit and wonderful goods! Will see you for an eclipse or Vulture Vest or ✌.

The Makanda Trading Company is a small business located on the historic Makanda Boardwalk in Makanda, IL. Makanda is also known as the most hippie town in Illinois. They offer a variety of local southern Illinois art, handmade jewelry, spiritual incense, and metaphysical stones.

Amazing place to visit! Really intriguing selection of really cool fossils, crystals, tongue drums (got mine from them 4 years ago, works great). Helpful staff, friendly as heck. And neva ONCE made me pay for drugs.

(Jk. Forgive my goofiness. If I’m too serious I will physically die.)

Outstanding! Great metaphysical store with lots of everything you would ever need, plus things you want, but don't need. 😁

Nice friendly place, found some cool stuff there. They have arrow heads, antler crafts, stones, handmade jewelry and clothes! We enjoyed it!

love this lil rock shop. Has everything ya need from smoke cleansing sticks, singing bowls, Crystal's, wire wrapped pendants, jewelry and a wide variety of crystals to choose from.

Absolutely love this beautiful place. The people that are around there are amazing and the ice cream place is the best place to get ice cream. Worth the drive there. It NEVER disappoints.

I pop in at least once a month for my solitary witch needs...the staff and owner is incredibly informative and friendly...he made it possible for me to afford a special piece of labradorite (that took at least a half hour of him holding up chunk after chunk to assuage my indecision). He even stayed open a few minutes late so I would have enough time to make the trip from Carbondale after my classes! Their prices are very reasonable and if the owner thinks you will get a better deal elsewhere..he will encourage you to try another shop..

A most cherished Outpost in a most beloved location!

What an amazing visit!! A little off the beaten path, but by far, one of the best little hideaways I've seen!! They were so helpful and knowledgeable!! We got some beautiful rocks and gemstones!! Much busier than I had expected since it was in the middle of nowhere, but, we will be back!! Please, take the time and it will be worth it!!

Friendly staff. Awesome place to get gifts for friends and family.

Hands down the best rock/gem shop in the state. We visited twice on a trip to southern Illinois. The selection is awesome and the staff are amazing. We return every few years because the selection is constantly changing. The guys that work in the shop are patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended store. Good vibes and great items for sale. This place is one in a million. We brought our two young daughters (8 and 10) and the people that worked there gladly removed tons of of items from the display cases for our girls to view.

Very fun and quaint little boardwalk. We had delicious ice cream and bought some jewelry. Very fun little place

A must see!!! This is one of my most favorite stops to take. The town and the people are Awesome. Highly Recommend as one of the coolest places to see. Makanda Hippie Town and the garden walk is Absolutely The Best!!!

Everyone was super friendly. Very laid back!

Delightful selection of stones, crystals, friendly staff, freedom to browse with no pressure to buy.

Stopped at the Rock Shop favorite shop in Makanda! Various stones incense sticks and other interesting items!

This place is absolutely wonderful! Fossils, rocks, crystals, jewelry, knives, musical instruments, oh my!

Cute tiny town.. 2 cute stores & a general store also.. I got the funny feeling it's a hippy town.. 1 store is like a new age type store with hand make soaps lotions and art work and jewelry.. It's such a cute tiny town lots of woods around!!

We come down all the time to get incense and a few rocks to add to the collection! Always something new and beautiful, great prices too!

Beautiful people, beautiful place. Interesting shops! My family and I will return.

This place is awesome. The people are down to earth and are very kind. I love getting to go eat some ice cream and walk around the enchanting garden space behind the boardwalk. And if this little town is too much your 5 minutes from the beautiful Giant City State Park!
