I stopped in yesterday just to show my friend from out of state ajd a huge crystal and gem fan what you guys had. I first dealt with a super sweet woman that was very helpful and showed me a really unique piece of hers and just overall made me feel right at home. Then I went to ask a question and was met by a different person who was equally friendly and Extremely helpful!!

Ashley went out of her way to help me and went far above any expectations I had when I first entered. I have been in a few other times over the years but after yesterdays experience with Ashley I will absolutely be a regular customer as well as my out of state friend I had on video chat!

My daughters loved the gem sluicing... we did the $20 buckets and each had LOTS of gems and surprises in them. One did the sharks teeth one and was amazed by how many she found.
On our next visit we did the cave mining simulation. The kids loved that even more! It was a real adventure for them and they came out with really cool gems. I was definitely impressed with the thought, creativeness, and sense of adventure they packed into a place that isn't huge. Not to mention, everyone we have met working there has been amazing. We will...
