Stars of Alaska — Attraction in Alaska

This is a nice store for purchasing rocks, they have a lot of great rocks and gemstones along with a variety of different things that might be perfect for gifts. They also have pretty decent prices for their collection and was happy for what I paid for. So you might be asking, then why did you deduct a star? They were friendly enough but I started to get annoyed at them asking me if I was okay, I was only in there for 30 minutes with maybe only 4 other customers and they asked me 3 different times if I was okay, 2 times by the same person. So they were kinda trying to be friendly but it actually comes off as annoying and bothersome at that point. Then when I did come up to ask a question they made me feel like I was stupid and didn't know what I was asking for, they had some great cabbed moonstone but I wanted just tumbled rainbow moonstone which is the sheen name of the feldspar family, they pointed me to raw feldspar and tried to help but at the same time kinda treated me like I was dumb and didn't know what I was talking about. I said sorry for being difficult but yeah I just felt like an inconvenience to them at that point. Anyway, the store seems to be more into the metaphysics of rocks and not the science so if you are more into the science of rocks then you might not find as much help here. Recommend nature's jewelry for a more down to earth experience and scientific...

I have loved stars of Alaska if I found it 5 years ago. The store has any and every type of Agate or Crystal that you can think of offhand. They had dishes fashioned out of agate wind chimes with crystals dream catchers with feathers. And then they have antique glass and Oriental antiques from the war that have swords that jewelry dishes toys absolutely anything! But... they also have a woman who considers herself the utmost Authority on everything to the point of being rude to a young girl. I've also noticed over the last year-and-a-half her merchandise has almost doubled in price and last year at the State Fair when asked if she had any materials used for smudging abruptly snapped at me and said no and then when I showed her an example of what she had on display she argues with me telling me that's not what that was! At the State Fair she made herself look like an ass while she was trying to make me look like an ass! Not to mention she tried to charge me $20 for...

Stars Of Alaska For the past 6 years I have made the 5-7 hour trip from North Pole to Anchorage to shop the ENORMOUS selection of thousands of geological specimens. It takes hours to just barely browse the surface. I have literally spent several thousands of dollars here. The past few years they have decided to deem the bathroom for employees only. I said last time I would never shop here again because I was absolutely appalled that I was refused permission to use the facilities. Today this happened again. I will continue to buy from online vendors at this point. It's very sad to see such educational businesses like this go downhill. My children and I have learned so much from Stars of Alaska and it's sad to see an end to this tradition. Shame on you for neglecting a simple necessity to customers who truly believed in supporting...
