This is a large space filled with tons of locally made artwork. There is everything from jewelry, scarves, paintings, photography and most any other art/crafts you can imagine. This is a great space to decorate your home, to buy gifts, or just to look around for creative inspiration. When I visited, two of the artists were there to greet me and tell me about the gallery. They were very friendly and helpful yet allowed me to stroll through the space alone. I appreciated my experience here and hope to be back soon!

To me every fossil is one of a kind, so seeing some of the prices for them being so low was insane too! I held a lot in my hands I'm not sure if they changed their rules but another review stated you couldn't hold things. You're definitely allowed to it's just a "you break it you buy it" deal and that's stated everywhere. We asked why we couldn't take pictures of the ocean jasper and they were very open with the reason and it's definitely fair! Ask them yourselves, it's an interesting story. Yeah there are many fossils out there but none exactly like another so as low 5$ you can walk out with a one of a kind piece of history! I got a few little cheaper fossils that were awesome gifts, but I got a giant megalodon tooth and I'm blown away it's an amazing store. I will tell anyone I know passing through NC Asheville or near to DEFINITELY not miss out on seeing what they have to offer.

However, there were signs on every shelf and surface not to touch anything. And that's probably why I didn't buy anything, even though I felt like a kid in a candy store.
