Dakota Stones — Local services in Eden Prairie

Dakota Stones is the ONLY place I purchase my beads from. I trust their sourcing method’s, rely on the continuous quality they present and appreciate their low if not free shipping costs. The fact that I’m supporting a business based and operated in the United States is huge for me! Dakota Stones teaches me SO MUCH about the products they carry; I can’t get enough of it! They share or talk about where stones are found in the world, how many stones are created, cutting processes, different types of Jasper or agate for example and what / why they are different and so much more.

I've been a regular customer of the Dakota Stones Monday night Facebook Lives for close to four years now. Every week, Dakota Stones brings a variety of high-quality stones in a wide range of prices, as well as other jewelry-making supplies, including beading chain, components, and leather cord, to the non-wholesale customers who don't have access to their wholesale website.

If you're not happy, they do everything they can to rectify the matter and assure your satisfaction. And if there's a problem with your order, they'll give you a heads-up before it even ships. I can't recommend Dakota...

Dakota Stones was the first place I shopped when I started my jewelry-making hobby 10 years ago. I still shop at Dakota because their gemstone beads are not only beautiful and reasonably priced, but because I trust their quality and the shop owners. I love that Dakota educates us about stones - their histories, make-up and metaphysical properties. Dakota has become my favorite place to buy gemstone beads and it will remain so. I just received my order of chunky, gorgeous apatite nugget beads - hefty, beautiful color, and will be beautiful in a necklace I plan to make. Also, the crystal quartz chips were incredible! Especially perfect for their icy look in this summer heat - Had to get 3...
