I must have walked by 5x previously before ever getting the chance to check out inside but it finally happened! From the outside, you can tell it's a happy place - colorful yarn creations and dried herb and flower bundles and disco balls by the windows let you know you're about to have a good time. I loved how positive and helpful everyone was inside. Even if it's not for you, it's great for understanding your astrology- and crystal-minded friends, and get cute gifts for them (and you!) at the same time. There is an upstairs area where they offer get-togethers and classes if you want to know more. These include sound baths, breathwork, and tarot and astrology readings. Their calendar of events can be found on their website. They just opened last September 2022, and will be open early on farmers market days moving forward. Welcome to the neighborhood!

They quoted me $1500-$2500 what another jeweler around the corner quoted me $500-$700 for. While the 2 women who helped me were mostly pleasant, it felt like 2 semi-amateurs giving me an absurd quote for a "pre-existing" setting. When they mentioned the jeweler using the cad program, they told me that to set each stone is $100. I find this crazy given the quote from the place we visited after this. They also recommended I bring more gold in as trade when the other jeweler said the gold from my original ring && 1 other was more than sufficient to have my new ring made. Lastly, what the biggest standout was for me on service was the second jeweler I visited was very professional & even came down from his work space to look at my stones w/me as. As I was explaining what I wanted, he was able to sketch out EXACTLY what I wanted...not attempting to put it in a preexisting design. All in all, it felt like this jewelry store was more into the business of selling pieces rather than making. I'm giving 1 stars because of the absurd amount I was quoted, the lack of care for making a custom piece (not meeting w/the jeweler) & the disinterest felt by both women to work w/us. If you want a great designer who seems to really care, visit Doug at Pierret Designs. You won't be disappointed, he's been in the business for 50 years & you can certainly tell.

What an incredible rock and gemstone place this is. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how wonderful it smelled. The incense they were burning was incredible. The store is immaculate, dusted, vacuumed and maintained. The staff, especially, Dave, were amazing. Dave helped me shop for certain rocks to fill small jars I was giving away as gifts. They have an incredible selection and the prices were very reasonable. I spent about 45 minutes in the store and enjoyed every second of it. I will be returning very soon to pick up some other items. There is simple and readily accessible parking and it's in a good area of town. I highly recommend this small business.

I only go to Desert Gems once in a while, and pretty much every time I go, I'm reminded *why* I…read moredon't go there. They have an "okay" selection of gems/crystals, but they're way overpriced. Only recently have I gotten into making my own knitting stitch markers, which require beads, wire, tools, etc. I checked here for a 1-Step Looper; nope, sold out. Back to Amazon I go. Beads seem outrageously overpriced, so it's rare I buy any beads here. Yesterday my husband and I went in to look at some of the crystals/rocks they have, and my husband asked about a particular stone of which they had a couple spheres and an egg-shape. The very hippie older man had no idea what the stone was, so he asked the only other employee working that day, but she didn't know either. She "thought" it was "Tarzanite, from Peru." One of the spheres had a sticker that said Peru, but no other information was available. Three of us searching on Google turned up nothing, except some photos of "Tarzanite" (which the search usually changed to "Tanzanite," which was clearly not this stone), but the photos didn't match the stone we were looking at. Not very helpful if you're selling a stone but don't even know what it is. Meanwhile, I was browsing around the shop and the older hippie man kept aggressively trying to sell me on various things, without even asking what I might be looking for or what type of project I was working on. I'd already told him I was just browsing, but he kept pointing out things like, "This wall is our larger-hole beads!" and stuff like that, when I have no interest in "larger hole beads" (as I said, I occasionally make myself knitting stitch markers, which have to be SMALL and lightweight, otherwise they will be too heavy and create hand strain). I don't make jewelry, so nearly everything he was pointing out -- i.e. aggressively trying to sell me -- was of no interest or use to me whatsoever. The hippie vibe was a bit too much for me, though some people may like that. Also, the shop reeked of strong incense -- both my husband and I are highly allergic to fragrances/smells, so we couldn't stay long. Why don't shops realize that some people cannot tolerate strong smells? They can even set off asthma attacks in some asthmatics (scents are banned on Montreal metro trains for that reason), and for others of us they can trigger severe migraines that last for days. At least neither of the employees were wearing masks, which was a relief. (I am autistic and have mask trauma from childhood, so those still wearing masks in 2024 I cannot deal with and have to take my business elsewhere.) In the end, we left the shop without buying anything and it will be a while before we go back, if ever. p.s. My husband took a photo of the sphere he was interested in and we went back to Mountain Mineral Market on Kipling, to ask Benjamin, who has a degree in geology, if he knew what it was. The photo wasn't quite enough to identify it, but he said it was definitely *not* "Tarzanite".

To respond to Dianne F.'s reply: "The person you described as Mr. Mask comes from a highly attuned…read morespiritual family, so I'm sad to see you describe him in the way you did." Just because a person comes from a "highly attuned spiritual family" doesn't mean they're also highly spiritually attuned -- that's like saying "she comes from a highly musical family" but she can't carry a tune or keep the beat. (I myself come from an *extremely* Christian family -- Bible Belt! -- but I have since learned the truth about that religion and am no longer the slightest bit Christian nor will I ever be again.) As I said, both my husband and I are *extremely* intuitive and can sense people's energy, and the energy we get from this man is "used car salesman" with not a shred of spirituality. In any case, his pushy car-salesman attitude was the real issue. That said, my husband and I did stop by the Youngfield store a couple days ago, and although we didn't encounter "Mr Mask" (and mask or not, the attitude was the problem) the lady at the register was also very "car-lot sales-y", listing off all the things on sale, the readings going on that day, etc. While some might find that helpful, we found it rather off-putting, as we had come in for a specific purpose, not a 3-minute sales pitch. There is nothing wrong with welcoming customers in and saying, "If you need any help just let us know." (Ashley at the 44th Ave location got this right, every time!) But the pushy attitude we've repeatedly encountered makes us reluctant to shop here.
