A senseless act of cruelty and careless disrespect for life. This was our impression of Gemstar Gemstone Co. My husband and I travelled 2 hours to visit this place on our 7th wedding anniversary. We had decided to gift each other a large amethyst cathedral to put in our entrance hall.
We found the one we wanted, we wandered around outside for a bit, and came across a very large spider trapped in a deep plastic bucket full of polished stone. I remarked upon it's size and said out loud "what should we do?" I was talking to my husband, but a slovenly dressed man wearing glasses spoke up and said " You step on it!" I ignored him. He seemed to think it was a funny thing to say as he looked in the bucket and walked off. My husband found a long piece of rock and left it in the bucket for the spider to use to crawl out later. It was shy and trying to conceal itself.
We then went inside the shop. It reeked of cigarette smoke and I was extremely disappointed to see the slovenly man behind the counter. My feelings for the place instantly shifted. The other 2 people working there (one of which was a female) neither greeted us or smiled. We picked out a few little trinkets inside the shop and left them in a basket while we went back outside to get our cathedral.
On the way we checked on the spider, the shop assistant followed us and asked if it was still in the bucket, we said yes. But before we knew what was happening he picked up the long rock my husband had put in the bucket and slammed it down on the spider, killing it (or worse, maiming it). He put the lid on the bucket, sneered at us and walked back inside, he knew perfectly well he had shocked us both terribly.
Sickened. My husband and I simply walked back to the car and drove away. We were so disturbed by this disgusting display of senseless killing. I'm not even fond of spiders! But it wasn't harming anyone, it was outside and it was helpless. The experience ruined our special day. We will tell everyone we know to stay away from these IDIOTS at Gemstar Gemstone Co. and I will write this up as a post on...
Read moreWe drove 3 hours to this store in utter excitement, only to be greeted by the rudest people. They had 5mins till they closed, which is our fault, but we were told they were open till 7pm, apparently it's 5pm. We asked the woman if we picked out our stones in 5 mins BEFORE they close if they would serve us. She told us to get lost and had a grin on her face, she got such a kick out of denying us service, THEN proceeded to tell another woman in the store that she had 5 mins to pick out and buy what she wanted.
DO NOT BUY STONES FROM THESE NEGATIVE PEOPLE!! They clearly install bad energy into all there stones, and it's not worth the amount of cleansing you would have to do to rejuvenate them.
Being in an energetic business, you would think they would practice love and light, but hardly any of the crystals shine on this property. I wasn't really drawn to anything in particular, but now I know it is because the universe would never want me to use one of their stones in my...
Read moreGemstar is my favorite place to shop for gemstones, crystals, and so much more. The two most important things to know are always check their hours, they work hard to ensure their hours are the most convenient for the customer, and make a list of what you want/need. They have so-so much, it's very easy to loose site of what you'r looking for with all their beautiful products. The staff is very helpful, and knowledgeable without being overbearing, and they have a few reference books to help you find that pretty gemstone you forgot the name of. Their prices are very reasonable, and the quality is A+. Iwould highly recommend Gemstar for all your gemstone, and...
