    If you go out with a girl from LA and she wants to go to a crystal shop, might as well go to a great one that actually has some integrity. I'm not really into crystal mysticism but I can really appreciate the geological information and craftsmanship behind each and every item in this shop. Walking inside is genuinely like walking into a museum of minerals, gems, stones and crystals unlike you've ever seen. For example, their entire door handle is Amethyst. The cracks in their floor have real amethyst embedded inside. They have real mined Geode chairs that you couldn't believe exist in real life. They have some of largest rare stones I've seen in person. If you're not one to casually drop $1000s of dollars at once, there is a back area where you can see the jeweler work on pieces and stones, and a small cabinet that has miniature conventionally sized stones that are more affordable than the ones on display (ie. Typically $4-12 a stone) People who complain about the prices: A. Didn't recognize the area when walking in. B. Don't know how expensive it is to mine, transport, detail and certify rare stones. C. Didn't go to the white bins in the back for the conventionally smaller stones. Despite the standard snootiness of the area, the two folks at the counter were not only sweethearts, but extremely knowledgeable about what they're working with. I learned so much from each of them not even from just asking questions, but from them bringing out pieces and explaining each one for the fun of it while my friend was looking around. I love seeing people who are passionate about their interests get to indulge in it, so if you have any gem/stone questions, this is the place.

    Huge props to the Bodhi Tree for pointing me in the direction of this fabulous gem shop when I called today burbling about selenite. I'd been on the hunt for the perfect gift for someone who's not so easy to shop for, and when I'd finally settled on the idea of finding these crystal candleholders that are thought to be carriers of light and clarity associated with the crown chakra, I figured I'd have to search the city high and low to track them down, but lo and behold, they were right up the street! If you ever had a rock collection as a kid, stepping foot in here will take you back. The place is a floor to ceiling collection of some amazing specimens, many of which were bigger than I am and priced upwards of $20k. Lucky for me, they had just the selenite (gypsum) candleholders I was looking for, in not one, but two sizes and two colors -- the clear, opalescent ones you usually find, and others in varying shades of rose and orange depending on minerality -- all surprisingly reasonably priced. I ecstaticly snatched up my finds and they even offered to gift wrap everything up, complete with box, bow and a pretty purple bag. Birthday crisis averted!

Just for comparison sake, a labradorite smooth tumbled palm size stone at House of Intuition on Melrose was $46, and I got an incredible large heavy sphere for $50 with this guy. I am still so thrilled with my finds! The shop owner was very knowledgeable and nice to us! We had fun playing in his collection. My friends picked up some very special pieces from him too. I definitely recommend this shop. He says he will be there every Sunday this year, so I'll be back for sure! Entrance to the Fairfax High market is $3. We found metered parking on the street. Lots of fun, highly recommended! xo

    I have come to this store a few times and have never had an issue until today. I came to the store…read morebecause I was in the area and needed a clasp for a piece I'm working on. It was in the early afternoon. I rang the doorbell and the woman working buzzed the door open but I didn't catch the handle in time. After attempting again to get in to the store by ringing again and pulling the door but she walked to the back and never came back. I waited a few minutes and then left. I found it rude and am so disappointed. I have spent money at this store in the past because they have a nice selection. I did not expect to be treated as though I was not welcome. We made eye contact so it's not as though she didn't see me or hear the bell ring. I came here in lieu of going to my normal wholesaler because I felt it would be good to support a smaller business. I regret that choice.

    I went into Kings Beads today intending to purchase several loose gemstones. While browsing, I…read morefound a piece of sunstone that was clearly marked $7 each. I brought that stone and a few others to the counter and asked what the total would be. When the employee told me the sunstone was actually supposed to cost more, he said it had been marked incorrectly and told me, essentially, that he would honor the $7 price "this time," but that he had just changed the price and it would cost more next time. I said okay and decided I would purchase the sunstone. However, when he realized I no longer wanted to purchase the other stones, his attitude completely changed. He told me that he was no longer going to give me the sunstone for the price it was listed at. I asked him directly, "So you're not going to sell it to me for the listed price?" and he said no. I told him that I thought that was shitty business practice, and his response was completely unacceptable. He told me "fuck you," "get out," and "go fuck yourself." He then continued yelling at me and shooed me out of the store. Regardless of a pricing mistake, there is absolutely no excuse for speaking to a customer that way. If the price was genuinely listed incorrectly, I understand that mistakes happen, but the situation could have been handled professionally. Instead, I was verbally abused and kicked out simply because I questioned the pricing and decided not to purchase the other items. I will not be returning to Kings Beads, and based on this experience, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before spending your money here. Edit- I just learned what took place is illegal. I will be filing complaints with the La county DCBA. Truly unfortunate as they did have some nice things and I may have been a repeat customer had this not occurred. As a business owner myself, I'll let you guys know that treating a customer with respect and overcorrecting your own mistakes instead of abusing a customer over them will always end better.
