Kehoe's Agate Shop — Local services in Kalispell

I wish I could give this place five stars twice. Kehoe's Agate Shop is a place of wonder, and the service there has been nothing but impeccable, every single time I've visited. Their selection of rocks and minerals is expansive, both decorative and functional, and the setting is quaint and charming. Leslie Kehoe and the other wonderful ladies that work there take COVID-19 seriously, and kindly ask guests to please sanitize hands and wear a mask upon entering, which I appreciate SO much, having a preexisting condition as well as loved ones to watch out for. This has taken some folks aback, but Leslie has offered for guests who wish to not wear a mask, to schedule a time to come in before the store opens so that they can shop unmasked, without affecting anyone else's safety. So, aside from being extremely thoughtful and considerate, the staff is also very happy and willing to pull out any pieces you'd like to see closer, and to share their wealth of enthusiasm and knowledge about their wonderful inventory. Definitely visit Kehoe's Agate Shop if...

Sometimes it’s an item for the house, like a fossil or agate object, but usually it’s some fabulous piece of jewelry that gives me joy every time I wear it. A trip to Kehoes ALWAYS leaves you with a smile!!

I also very much appreciate the mask policy. As a mother of a child with immunity issues, the mask policy means I can shop without worrying about catching a deadly...

Although this store carries some amazing specimens and their prices are reasonable, I have to share my sadness and disbelief when I saw how many precious, one of a kind crystals had been drilled into and had tasteless birds and animals permanently adhered to them. I was shocked. Some of the most beautiful quartz formations, now with holes drilled into its beautiful structure with a duck super glued to it. If you believe in the power of these elements you’re selling then you would believe that this destroys their frequency too. These precious stones which are magnificent just as they are, have been forever damaged because of someone’s selfish take on how they want them to be. Leave them to their natural state and let buyers destroy them on their own terms if they so...
