I happened to be in the area, so I ordered and was so excited that it wasn't cancelled. There was a pickup desk in the center of the store, but it wasn't occupied. After waiting a bit I went to the checkout desk and quickly received my order. It was a B&N exclusive, happy with it and the price.

It's even better than the rock shops along the North Shore that "specialize" in them. The selection of shapes, sizes, price points, levels of finish (raw, ready to tumble, completely polished, etc.) is phenomenal. The dark room with fluorescent and UV-reactive minerals and items is also just fantastic, with a surprising array of different specimens and items. It's not just a rock shop either - they feature crafts and jewelry by local artists! I believe last time we were there the owner said they had over a dozen local artists represented. And speaking of which - the staff/owners are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I can't recommend this hop highly enough.
