Blue Nugget is a giftshop located in Goldfield Ghost Town. More than jewelry, Blue Nugget is a…read moregoldmine if looking for fossils. (All pun intended. ) Pieces range in size from a fingernail to clusters over a foot tall. Most fossils are of smaller organisms. No dinosaurs bones here. Fossils are located in the jewelry counter, and around the store. Blue Nugget also has the largest selection of Native American jewelry in Goldfield Ghost Town. Multiple cases of jewelry, along with pieces hanging on the walls. It is an impressive selection. Employees are ready to not just sell jewelry but also give background information about the artist. Dream catchers found here are not limited to the standard design. Many have unique center patterns. Blue Nugget has their share of touristy items as well. They try to stay on brand with those being Southwest and South American themed products. A good portion of the items for children are touristy. A selection of prickly pear and spicy foods, mugs, shirts, small polished rocks/geodes, books, and mass produced jewelry. The list goes on. Commercially made jewelry is displayed seperate from the handmade pieces. This store is well stocked with merchandise. Items are thoughtfully arranged to maximize the space. Shelving matches the old west building they are housed. Historic look and the plethora of products are decor all on their own. When it comes to prices, for the most part, Blue Nugget has the other stores beat. Some of the best prices for a giftshop. Signs declaring this fact are not wrong. I wasn't expecting a giftshop in the ghost town to have such non tourist items. This giftshop could hold it's own outside of a tourist attraction. Blue Nugget is a great resource for gifts. There is no fee to park or enter the ghost town. Especially if looking for fossils or Native American jewelry, I recommend paying a visit to Blue Nugget.

The store has a great selection of any items one might want or need, and the owner Jane is always willing to seek and order things not carried in the store. The prices are extremely fair. The energy in the store is immaculate and Jane is a wealth of knowledge but never in a pushy manner. I would recommend this store to anyone at any stage in their spiritual journey, but it's an exceptionally safe space for beginners. Honestly can't say enough about how much I love it here- have been patronizing Dragonstar for over a decade now.

I am one of many stores that are sourced from the Lawitz Brothers (Formerly Beads Galore). They are a staple in the valley of Phoenix ‍. They have ancient beads, cultural beads, natural stone beads, exotic glass beads, Bone, Shell, Wood, etched Agate, ishi etc. etc. etc. if you are crafting, and haven't stopped by Bernie's, you're selling yourself and your shop short. Regardless of your budget, they will help you! They will recommend their vast 40+ years of knowledge and wisdom in the beading world freely. I've seen Bernie's Beads (Bernie & David Lawitz) take the time out to construct or repair a project onsite...while other customers are literally in the shop. Who gives service to that degree in 2025? NO ONE‼ Go get whatever your heart desires from Bernie's Beads and watch the quality of your work escalate

Super kind service at first…read more Being an inexperienced 14yr old I brought an item in to get a wire soldered. They said they could do it and when I got it, it was messy and weak. I took it home and when I assembled my model , it turned out one of the components was damaged (near the wires that were soldered) It cost $50 for a new one and they said that they weren't at fault and turned me down. No compensation... Pretty disappointed, as I don't really have a stable way to make money at 14...

The Flagg Mineral Foundation sponsors the annual Flagg Gem and Mineral Show. This show is usually scheduled for the first weekend in January and is their largest fundraising event. The show, however, may occasionally move to the following weekend to avoid conflicts with New Year's Day celebrations. Its informal tailgate format offers a low cost venue for field collectors and local mineral/lapidary clubs to share their latest finds with children, teachers, rockhounds, and the general public. The Flag Mineral Foundation's goal of their yearly gem and mineral show is to increase the interest of children in rocks, minerals, geology, and science. There is no charge for admission and parking is free was well since it's held at the Mesa Community College (Dobson Rd. and the US-60/Superstition Freeway in Mesa, AZ).

The store is packed with amazing fossils, rocks, and so many interesting things to explore. The staff was beyond helpful and kind. The gentleman working there took the time to answer all of our questions and even brought something special out from the back to show us -- which made the experience feel extra special. My daughter absolutely loved picking out her own geode and cracking it open with their machine to reveal the crystals inside. That was definitely the highlight of our visit! We will 100% be coming back next time we're in Arizona -- and we truly wish there was a store like this in California! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
