I love jurassic jims i am 9 years old and i spend my pocket money there.
mum and dad got me a massive expensive present for christmas and jim wrapped it for me as he is so nice..

i think jurassic jims is a great shop for all ages and he is a really nice man.. see u soon ive saved £20 and will be in next week

Just come back from a weekend on the isle of Wight, discovered Jurassic Jim's shop and spent a delightful hour exploring this treasure trove. An absolute delight for anyone who has even a slight interest in fossils and / or gem stones. Jim is very knowledgeable and helpful.

An amazing shop filled with many wonders and at outstanding prices. I was on the island last week and visited Jurassic Jim's 4 times with my 5yr old son and we both loved it and Jim is brill with kids and clearly loves what he does. Would absolutly reccomend this shop to anyone who is interested in fossils and artifacts.

best collection of fossels ive ever seen at decent prices

Great shop. Jim is really a fund of knowledge as well as being a nice bloke who is happy to share information and spend time explaining things. GO AND SEE....

Brilliant find in itself

What a fantastic place. A must visit if you are in the Isle of Wight, Jim is an amazing guy who has time for every visitor to his shop, kids will love him :)

Boys are loving their massive dinosaurs, sharks' teeth, fossils, crystals and golum :-) many many thanks!

I went to your store yesturday, and it was amazing! The geos are beautiful

Excellent shop, brilliant items, at great prices. Went in the shop several times. Could easily spend lots of money in there as so many lovely pieces :) . Would def recommend to anyone.

I went to the shop today and I was amazed at all the things I saw.
Jim's shop is fantastic. I bought two crystals and will be going back again before I go home. 10 out 10 Jim, thank you.

Evie and I enjoyed visiting the shop twice on our Island stay. Evie wants to be an archaeologist and has been visiting museums and watching lots of tv programmes about history. She was amazed with the treasure trove that is Jurassic Jims and bought a lot of fossils and crystals to take to school to show her classmates, (including some dino poo!!!!). Thank you ever so much for making it an extra special visit for both a little girl and her mum (who felt the years fall away and become a 7 year old once again on her first trip to a magical place). We will most definitely visit again.

With extra special thanks

Sasha and Evie-Mae

Visited Jim's shop on 1 August 2012. What an amazing find. I picked up a great selection of fossils and minerals at such reasonable prices. Jim wrote down the details of each fossil so that I can label them when I get home - brilliant service. Along with Osbourne House this is a top destination when visiting the IOW.

Great fun shop my two little girls had so much fun they are still talking about it now and showing off the fossils they bought and things they were given. A welcoming generous host who always had time to explain things to my children i will ensure that i will visit more than once when i go back.

What a fantastic shop and owner, if you are interested in fossils this is the place to go, prices are very good to.

Jim, It was an absolute pleasure to visit your shop and learn some very interesting facts while browsing and selecting our purchases. I would recommend anyone interested in fossils and gemstones to drop in. Thank you for brightening a grey rainy day and making us laugh! PS We like Tony's hat!!!

Just to say loved the visit to the shop in Shanklin.... Really helpful and knowledgable.. great advice and such a choice...

Hi Jim
Thanks for letting me and the wife spend the day in your shop. I will be in touch soon.

Very helpful and knowledgeable; we will certainly be back! (Great prices too!)

Wow, what an amazing shop, thanks for all the information you passed on to my son & I, what a wonderful array of knowledge you have.. I look forward to following your progress on facebook & to hopefully visiting the shop again...
I look forward to also buying stuff on this web page.
Many thanks MK & Co

Great shop! And fronted by a very friendly, laid back Jurassic 'wizard' too (so our kids tell us!). We were all fascinated by the wide variety of very reasonably priced fossils, books, artifacts, shirts and ores, crystals you had. The fossils and gems now take pride of place on the shelf. Definitely worth a visit!

Hi Jim, It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday.My 7 year old keeps saying you are the nicest man he has ever met and clutched his bag of dinosaur goodies for the rest of the day even at the dinner table.And my 11 year old thought you were really COOL !.The Boys both had an interest in Dino's already but visiting your Treasure Trove of a shop has awakend a new side of it and I'm sure that on every holiday now we will spend hours scouring beaches for hidden treasures.The biggest Treasure in the shop is YOU...taking the time to share your passion and making it accessible to all.Your fantastic stories and allowing everything to be touched by the children & the incredible prices make you & your shop and essential place to visit on the Isle of Wight and we will be back for sure on our next visit.Many Thanks The Williams Family XX :) XX

was walking around Shanklin, when I came across the Jurassic Jim shop. I went in with my sister, and we were impressed. There was every type of rock, minerals and fossils. In my opinion this shop is cooler than a video game shop. I definitely recommend it to all boys and girls. :-)

was forced to go in shop today as not usually sort of shop i would go into but glad i was !! will deffinatly be returning !! amazing x

Jurassic Jim's is a brilliant shop. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 who are massively into dinosaurs at the moment and Jurassic Jim spent ages talking to them about the different fossils they were looking at in his shop - his genuine passion rubbed off on our boys so much so that we made two visits in one afternoon. Thankfully the prices are also quite reasonable as we came away with quite a few fossils!!

You have the best shop in the world. I'm showing my crystal healing class the Lepiodite i bought later today
thanks
Melissa

Hi Jim,
We visited last week and were amazed at your stock, your low prices and your friendly enthusiasm. (bought the shark teeth in matrix). You have the perfect recipe and we shall return. Thanks also for the tip as to where to find the oysters on Shanklin beach - we went, we found them - and lots more as well. You have gained a family of loyal customers who wil come back again and again. Best wishes, Kelvin

Hello Jim,

Your parcel arrived today and what joy it was to unpack. I believe they could have dropped it from a building and the fossils would still have been fine, so neatly did you pack them. Great to see what beautiful things you have from your lovely island. Thank you and untill the next time!

Best regards from the Netherlands, Werner.

What a lovely suprise we had when we discovered your shop last weekend. We only came over to the Isle of Wight for the weekend and were thrilled to look around your wonderful shop . We were fascinated by all the fossils and gems. It was so interesting and Jim, you were so friendly, knowledgable and informative, we were in awe . We will be back and come and have a look again in December and bring the rest of the family. Thanks,

i alway's go to the isle of wight, but this time i found something new, your shop is amazing, the fossil's and stone's are just so interesting, and the service was great to, i went to pay for one of the many fossil's and actually learnt something. it's really cheap there aswell, i have my faviote place's to shop for thing's like fossil's, but this is surely the best one yet, it's affordable and great qaulity, defintly weath a 5 star rating.

Hello! I recently took a week holiday in the Isle of Wight and, upon visiting Shanklin, I found the most fantastic place. Your shop! It was absolutely wonderful and it took me ages to drag myself away from the wonderful gemstones and fossils there. Of course, I tried to leave at one point, but something else caught my eye and I had to look at that too!
I can now say that thanks to you and youur shop, my gemstone collection is FINALLY getting bigger.
Thank you!

Wow what a wonderful shop we have discovered in Shanklin. Jurassic JIm or Generous Jim as my son calls him due to the many wonderful fossils my son bought at such great prices, we went back to his shop again and again and again until all my son's holiday money was spent aswell as ours!! if you are after great fossils at excellent prices then you must visit Generous Jim's. We will definately be back on the next visit to the Island (when my son has saved up more spending money!). Thanks Jim for your enthusiasm and knowledge. Bye for now, see you next year or maybe at Xmas.

Hello! I went to your shop in Shanklin just the other week when I was on holiday, I totally loved it in there and you were incredibly nice and lovely to talk to, which i thank you for! There are not many people out there who are friendly and actually attempt at making a good convosation with customers. I bought a Apache Tears bracelet and stone from you, and I love it, its so pretty and my friend loves it too! I really hope I get to visit your shop again soon!

A chance discovery a week or so ago, Jurassic Jim's is a fantastic shop for the fossil & mineral enthusiast. His prices are very reasonable, with plenty of well-provenanced stock at affordable prices for children and adults alike. Jim himself is very friendly, knowledgeable and generous. I can thoroughly recommend a visit to his shop. Thank you, Jim!

JurassicJim has a fantastic treasure trove of a shop in Shanklin, selling quality, reasonably priced Dino bones, fossils of all kinds, rock, dino teeth, and to my Son's amusement, dino poo! My Son loves going to see Jim, who is welcoming and honest, and always has an interesting story to tell. Young and old alike are welcome, and you will find the most amazing pieces there which you can handle (not tucked inside cases like most places). Well wotrth a visit!!

Hi
We visited this wonderful shop twice this week, an Aladdins cave full with Fossils, Crystals and curios. Jim is so interesting to talk to.
We left with Selenite candle holders,Amethyst, ammonite fossile and an obsidian skull. Items are very, very good value and quality.
Coffee shop opposite is an ideal place to leave a loved one while you spend a good half hour in Jims' shop.

wow yes i like your bwebsite.

Wow! Jurassic Jim, what can I say? My friend and I visited your hidden gem of a shop just the other day for the first time, and it really was an amazing experience! I am an avid collector of echinoids and micrasters, and have collected them since a child. I have never purchased one before, but there was something so natural and pure about your shop, so I took two away with me! ;) I will return to the shop soon as we struck a great deal on your glass topped display case. I left your shop with isle of wight diamonds in my hand and a new fossil friend in my heart. Thank you for all the knowledge you so freely shared. See you soon :)

My 2 boys think Jurassic Jim's is the best shop in the world and made repeated visits while on their holiday. They now want to open a fossil shop of their own.

I came across the shop last week,went in and spent ages choosing my purchases(along with another lady)
Thank you both so much for your patience and friendly banter.It's a wonderful shop,and I'll be back!

Simply fantastic. Your shop was so good we went back again...Luckily for my wallet we came home yesterday otherwise I would have gone back for more. Thanks Jim

Thank you for being such a wonderful mine of information when we visited you in the Isle of Wight .about amonites and stones in general. We will be back in September to pick up some more! Thank you. Tony and Yve Cattermole.

Items arrived quickly and safely to France. Great packaging and fossils (the bison horn is truly beautiful !). Very kind and professional seller.

Jurassic Jim's is my favourite shop on the Isle of Wight, Jim is such a character who always has a tale to tell ! Great prices and always something new, I highly recommend a visit )

Hi Jim - It was lovely chatting to you today about fossils. My husband loved the rose quartz heart! Best wishes, Traceyann
