Golden Rock Shop — Local services in Golden

I'd give it less than one star if I could. In terms of the pros of this store, the specimens they sell are a very high quality and that the selection offered is actually fairly decent!

However, as someone local to Colorado who's stopped in from time to time I've had a fairly sub par experience overall. Though the natural specimens were top tier, the prices are criminally high, especially compared to the plethora of other gem and rock stores I've been to elsewhere in this state. Most of the gemstone carvings they sell are priced at twice and sometimes thrice the amount that the others charge for the exact same carvings. I recognize bulk when I see it and it should not be this expensive!! especially if its just selenite or quartz!!

The shock came when i was charged around 68$ for 3 items two of which were smaller than my fist and one of which (a really pleasant laser etched crystal grid smaller than a dinner plate) was $26 dollars...if I had known before coming to this store I would have just waited until I returned to my college to make one myself. The previous time I visited they had a stock of Moldevite, I was in with a good amount of money and purchased a Moldevite bracelet from the place but later found out it was fake and I had sank $90 into it. This, I feel, attests to the staff's blatant lack of knowledge on the products sold at their store, risk should not be something for the customer to take on especially when dealing with potential fake specimens that burn money.

Price is just one of the qualms I have with this store, though i don't doubt the beliefs that the staff may have at this store or care that they hold toward their jobs, they're very lackluster with their understanding of the gems they sell and though the atmosphere of the place of itself is good..I cant help but notice how passionless and pandering to tourists it feels, suffice to say I've seen dollhouses that feel less plastic than this store.

I can say with complete confidence that I will never be coming back to this store unless I'm dragged here kicking and screaming.

TL;DR: if you're a beginning or in general a witch, practitioner or someone who just really likes rocks THIS STORE IS NOT FOR YOU!! its fake and clearly money/tourist driven, the bulk stock turns my stomach and you can feel how fake this place is the moment you walk in. There's another place in the area 5-10 minutes away that's much more...

I am obsessed with everything about this shop. I don’t live in Colorado but I heard about this shop from a friend and I have been following their Instagram to see more. I came across this beautiful Oracle deck and immediately was in love. I called them and told them I wanted to buy it and they were so accommodating! They took my card info over the phone and shipped it to me and I had the deck in had in only 4 days! I couldn’t believe how amazing their customer service is. Especially their lovely employee Madi. She was so kind and so willing to help me with answering all my questions. She even gave me tons of advice about the Oracle deck I ordered such as when the best time to use it is and how to cleanse it. I highly recommend this shop to everyone! It’s a...

Something heavily hearted broke out last Saturday morning, and I took it upon my self love rights to take a mental day off work. My 2 soul beans offered to kidnap me to golden “don’t worry they left the windows cracked* They brought me to this vivaciously, nurturing, enriching center. Where I found a specifically sacred 1 of a kind tuning forks that offered their resources, messages, and frequencies over the moon & under the sun & vice versa. Though this tuning fork goes by Rocío. This experience is now another collection in my pages of roses for life & the next one. PSA: appoint me to a voucher or petition on signing a raise immediately! 🪶💸🕯️

Rocío your synergetic emotions are blessed & blissed beyond measure and expansion. I recieve you, centauro sibling...
