To keep with the kitschy name of the shop, I'm gonna say this place is a pure GEM. Not stuffy or pretentious as some crystal shops this tiny beaut is not to be missed when perusing the quaint town of Jim Thorpe. NOT to be confused with the "gem shop" on the main drag. Gem Thorpe is just a block past Muggles and on Race street that actually looks like a tiny alley. I was welcome to survey the multitudes of sparkly specimens without pressure. No hawking cameras, no shop keep up your back just pure positive energy and good vibes here! No doubt I missed a lot on my first visit as there are so many gemstones, crystals and jewelry items to see. As the weather is warming I know my day drives will lead me back to the mountains and inevitably back to Gem Thorpe. read more
