I wanted to buy more but the lady behind the counter had an attitude and I was not sure why. I'm sure she wasn't aware of her demeanor but it was very unwelcoming and condescending. She also couldn't answer any of the questions I had about the crystals. I wanted to know what the stone my worry stones were made out of but she was unsure. I had a few other questions too but she had no answers to any of them. I also did not like how she spoke badly of the workers in the Alabama Hills Cafe. That left a bad impression on me. I also paid two visits to this shop hoping she was just having a bad day but both days were the same. I appreciated their set-up to keep people 6 feet apart. There were also signs on the door stating to use hand sanitizer and to wear a mask. Overall, I probably wouldn't return due to the customer service. However, their products are reasonably priced. Pay a visit if you're in the area and don't care for good customer service. Their shop is clean.

Stay away! Unless you want to be treated like crap by the crabby older lady that works there!…read more Me and my wife walked into this store, all ready to by a bunch of souvenirs. (This was around the time of the whole covid thing.) I noticed that the man working behind the counter was not wearing a mask, and the store was completely empty, not a soul in the store. So, since the guy working there didn't seem concerned about wearing a mask, and the store was completely empty of other customers, we did not put on our masks either. Well, a little while later, this crabby lady that works there walked up to me and my wife and somewhat angrily asked us to put on our masks, even though the store was completely empty and she was at least 15 feet away from us. So, we put on our masks right away. Then, I just tried to nicely explain to her why we didn't have our masks on, telling her that when we walked in we saw a guy working at the cash register not wearing one so we assumed it wasn't a big deal. Then she YELLED "he is the owner!, and "you assumed?!". Then she yelled "can I help you?!, can I help you?!" . Then she started hovering over my wife as if to make sure she wasn't stealing anything. I'm sure this crabby old wench is driving customers away. She has no business working in a retail environment dealing with customers with a horrible attitude like that. We were about to stock up on a bunch of souvenirs, but walked out after we were treated like such crap for no good reason. There are several other little mom and pop shops across the street that sell much of the same things this place does, and for less money. This place is overpriced too! Go to one of those places instead, the staff are much nicer too.

Hidden Gem(s) in Randsburg CA [Literally!!]…read more Honestly, I don't know much about these rocks and crystals and its mystical healing powers (if any). Is there scientific proof that these things work? I dunno the answer to these but all I know is that they are aesthetically pretty. The employee was starting to close up shop and putting the little containers away that were displayed outside under tents. Lots and lots of pretty rocks and crystals. I picked up an agate coaster and a "worry stone." I was ready to pay but had to go inside to ring my purchases with the owner. I walked inside then I saw wall to wall displays of MORE crystals and rocks. I was fascinated even though I have doubts in my mind if these just offered some kind of a placebo effect. I had a nice chat with Stephen, the owner, as he shared with me true experiences from some of the stones that I questioned. In any case, whether they work or not, I found them really pretty!

I asked the owner if I could add his store to yelp and my other reviews online to gain more recognition as they are so nice and have quite the selection of polished and raw crystals.
