WONDERFUL, BUT VERY HIDDEN.
First of all: This is an amazing place with tons of fascinating rocks and random weird stuff at reasonable prices. Whole wall of bazillions of different kinds of gemstone beads on strands. Fossils, carved statues, cut gemstones ready for setting... the list goes on and on! 100% worth visiting again and again!
Secondly: It is HARD to find, if you only know about it from the internet. Hardly any website lists the correct address for it. Google Maps seems to have just started showing the correct address, but elsewhere there's nothing.
Part of the problem is that it has moved a few times between Rosedale Mall and Har-Mar Mall. It IS still in Har-Mar Mall, as of the time I write this. The current correct address is:

Read moreI'd give it a 4.5 if I could, so I am rounding up. The store has a nice selection of beads and rocks. Great for jewelry artists looking for materials or for those who collect rocks. Prices are on the higher side but the bead strands are long, long enough to make necklaces and more.
The downside to the store, is that it can be cluttered looking, overwhelming, trying to cram too many things in a small space, but I prefer it that way to being understocked. Just make sure to take the whole clump of beads to the register instead of taking a strand.
They also insist on wearing a face mask, so be sure to...
