The Dragon and The Rose — Local services in Santa Ana

I recently came into The Dragon and The Rose as I usually come through every few months. But this time I was specifically on a mission to find a product called Royal Rosin. This is a lip balm made with all natural ingredients and of course, a sprinkling of magic! A colleague of mine actually makes Royal Rosin lip balms and this year because of the Pandemic I am making extra sure to support local businesses who in turn, support local artists and small producers of exceptional quality. So, my trip today hopefully satisfied that!! As always, I ended up buying a couple of other cool gifts for my family. I bought my sister a beautiful chime from France. I'll post a video of it so you can hear the amazing tones! I wanted to buy a bunch of crystals and stones as these are also huge attractions for me. I want to mention that The Dragon and the Rose is really well supplied with everything you could possibly want for your metaphysical, magical, and spiritual needs. Candles, tarot cards, gems stones, crystals, herbs, chimes, tinctures, oils, books, journals, etc. I tried to cover all of it for you in the photos. Enjoy!! Purchase a Royal Rosin lip balm and invite a bit of magic...

Wish I could date zero stars... The manager seemed like she was on heroin. She couldn't focus and her eyes were glazed over. As I was trying to ask her questions about some products she didn't look at me and kept her conversation with her co-worker going, literally in the middle of my question she turned and started talking to her co-worker then turned back and said "uhh what". There was a pile of flyers on the counter that said "show this for 20% off an item" so I asked if I could use it and she looked agitated and said no. The phone rang and she answered, I guess a customer couldn't figure out where the store is. Right after she hung up she started making fun of the customer to her coworkers. At one point I asked her the price of an item ans she just said "everything's tagged..." obviously struggling to find the tag I'm fumbling around searching and she just stands there waiting for me to magically find this hidden tag. I was going to purchase 3 items that totalled around  $100 but I decided I just could NOT support her business. FILLED WITH BAD ENERGY, DO NOT SUPPORT...

This is a very cool store don't get me wrong, but a lot of their stuff is very overpriced. My significant other is very into crystals and even she says crystals shouldn't be costing this much (can find the same crystals and items from this store at other places for much cheaper) given the fact from where they are sourced. Third world countries taking advantage of poor people and kids for cheap labor and very very bad work conditions. Buying from overpriced stores such as this one who want to profit of the community just contradicts many many things the community stands for. Does not matter if the crystals are blessed or have x amount of energy or has x amount of power. It is wrong over pricing these items. Price them for what they are actually worth stop trying to profit off of inexperienced people who are buying this stuff because it...
