I called to know how they operate with a small number of guests for my party and they were so pleasant and very informative. They do not host their elaborate birthday parties yet due to Covid but you can book a time slot to mine. When I was ready to book a date and time, I called but missed them. They called me promptly the next day. Since we are still in the Covid season, they were very open to their protocols so we were not put out by it when we got there, hand sanitizer when coming in and mask. No problem! Better be safe! They have a huge display of gems, stones, shells and shark teeth. Their "mining" station is located on the side of the store. We browsed around before our time was called and my party of four was so eager to start finding treasures. I got to join in too. It was fun finding gems and shells and it's not like going to the beach and just finding oyster, clam, or mussel shells, we found some cool looking ones. The best finds were a megalodon tooth and a big quarts. So many treasures! If you have children or you are an avid collector/miner, visit this store. You will have fun. Just take your time when sifting because there's a lot of small rocks like a star ones that you might miss if you sift too fast. What will you find in your bucket of treasure?

We had such an amazing experience. Huge shout out to Lexi who helped us out today! My child and I…read morehad such a fun and exciting experience hunting for shark teeth and other marine fossils!

Made a serendipitous stop at Gail and Grace Boutique while awaiting an appointment. The gorgeous…read morewindow dressings drew me in while on my way to wet my whistle at Mission Market. Unique and brightly colored apparel and gifts "graced" the large front window displays. I was greeted warmly by Lisa. She knew her inventory well and made several suggestions for me; I tried on multiple items including a ruffled dress with metallic thread detail. She educated me about the unique brands behind Queen of Sparkle and Shu Shop sneakers. They carry stretchy Risen jeans, too. You can find lovely pieces to bring a unique look to your everyday wardrobe or for a special occasion. They also offer pretty accessories. Need a gift? You can find it there. I'll be back to see what Gail and Grace will offer for fall as my summer wardrobe is overflowing. Also, I'll be back for holiday gift shopping. Worth a visit! And, why not? It's lovely to be in Apex!

I went to this location to buy sage, (it's listed that this location sells sage/crystals and such)…read morewhen I get inside there is a waiting room and the whole place is dark. There are some lights in the waiting room. A sign says to enter quietly and wait to be attended to. I waited for 30 minutes and no one came to see me, I think only one lady works there. I heard them talking in a closed room. I peeked my head around the corner and didn't see any place to go to get to the crystals. I was looking around the lobby and saw a calendar/white board that had some notes on it and there was a message saying that open shopping is only during select hours depending on the day I wish there was some clearer information on when you can get these items. There's no where on the website or Yelp that states this and I tried to call multiple times during the day to get more information before I went and no one picked up. I don't know how their cleansing services and meditation work is but long story short, if you're going for sage, you may be too late

Larry is incredible. He does repairs and custom design and is absolutely a wizard or a genius (or…read moreboth) I'm sure of it! I wish more people around the RDU (or the state, or just the country...) knew about him - I mean seriously, "Certified Master Jeweler" since 1997?! I had no idea this was a thing and I can see EXACTLY why he's certified. He blew me away. Quality of repairs is impeccable. I can't even tell where my chain broke, it looks brand new!!! He wasn't afraid to be honest and tell me what he recommended based on how much I wear my necklace; I learned so much just from this one visit. I truly appreciate how awesome Larry is and Virtuoso will be my ONLY jeweler from now on (I live in GRAHAM an hour away and work in Apex, insane I know). He's worth every single penny though knowing how much I can trust him with anything I leave to him from now on. Thank you SO so much Larry. I can't wait to start some custom pieces with you!!!

What became apparent very quickly is how much he loves his job, how customer-oriented and skilled he was (he showed us his previous pieces), and how he's also a father above all else.

They have the shop set up in sections, candles, oils, incense, crystals, Tarot cards, children's section. It's clean organized and shoppable. They have readers on a daily basis.

It resonated with me and he has a unique and honest way of delivering such messages. The ladies at the front are friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful.
