I loved this place because they had a lot of cool stuff. I walked in - I said - I know what this place is! I have fallen in love with Lake Placed, and YOU are IT! They gladly accepted my huge huge sale and were very nice to me! Fortunately, they didn't badmouth me in french because my mom was Quebecois AND ALSO I took up to Honors French 5 in High School AND ALSO my BA from Rutgers College (New Brunswick) was in Linguistics, Mathematics, and Psychology.

Thanks for being there, and thanks for being you, and thanks for not being snobby or elitist with...

I purchased their obsidian (it may have been labelled obsidian arrowhead) in 2021 on vacation. This whole time I've been skeptical of it, as it was purchased in a known tourist town. Thrilled to report today that I've done a few of the usual tests you'd use to verify authenticity of any rock, and there is no knife scratch, it more than fits the description of obsidian, and for those into this aspect - the energy is incredible.
Highly recommend, and the staff were amazing as well! Very polite, and more than happy to assist with any questions or concerns. Definitely give Critters a stop if...
