This is definitely my favorite rock show! It totally rocks! And there aren't even any bands. Just…read morerocks. It's gritty and real, far less commercialized than gem shows you typically find at fairgrounds. A large majority of the vendors here are true rockhounds, who have a passion for what they do. Many of these guys are the ones that found the rocks they are selling. So you will find much more raw material here, bulk rock, and other wholesale-type deals. There are giant amethyst stalagmites, barrels of agates, large quartz crystals, fossils, and every kind of stone you can imagine. Since the people are real and own the stuff they are selling, the prices can be negotiable, too. So if you like to haggle, haggle away. Especially if you are buying large amounts of stuff. The show is also huge, and it's unlikely that you could finish in one day. I know there's no way I could, and didn't when I passed by even though I wished for more time. Maybe it's because I have always marvelled at the amazing number of permutations that nature creates with what is essentially, dirt. Millions of years in the ground cooking and bam, awesome crystals, intricate patterns, beautiful colors. I only made it through about one third of the show in two hours. Overall, if you are up for an adventure and looking for something fun to do, the Desert Gardens Rock, Gem, and Mineral Show will definitely be worth the trip. Five stars all the way.

Kathy also gave us clues on where to explore and collect locally.

I gotta say right off the bat: The product that I received was absolutely amazing, hands down. Now,…read morethe three star review isn't because of the quality of the product or anything, it was more or less the customer service that I've received and the shipping times. My girlfriend and I made the purchase of these acrylic blades at around November 21 last year, and albeit, it was during the holiday season AND the pandemic has been running amok, I understood why they had to delay their progress by a week. When the team emailed us to directly email them if we wanted to receive our product before Christmas, I decided to take that shot. If they couldn't, then I wholeheartedly understand, since there are other customers that they had to deal with. After I get a response saying that they would try their best to ship it to us before Christmas, I figured it was said and done. A couple days after Christmas go by and no email notifying that it was shipped, so I figured it wasn't ready yet. It's now January 6, and there still wasn't any notification, so I decided to email them again to see if there was any status or update on the blades. A day after I send the email, I magically receive a notification that the package is ready to get sent. Uhh, a little odd that it just so happened after I sent an email in regards to the status of it, but I guess it's on its way now. January 14 rolls by and I still haven't received any updates, it was still under pre-shipment. I send another email to ask if anything wrong happened to the item, to which I magically receive another notification that it's officially been retrieved by USPS. Again, I found it kind of odd that they sent it a day after I sent and email to them, but I'm still stoked that I'm receiving my package! After almost two months, I finally retrieved my package in the mail. Overall, I just hope that they start becoming a little more responsive to their customers in case a shipping problem goes wrong. I will definitely buy from them again, since their products are high quality, regardless, but I hope things improved since Christmas! UPDATE: I just found out that one of the two members tested positive for COVID and I never knew that it was the sole reason why it took awhile for the package to show up. I feel really bad.

I seldom go into a craft store since I don't do crafts. But a friend needed to find some items so…read moreI went along. I am always surprised at the size of the store. The store is large with so many different areas. And not all just for crafts. The first thing is a seasonal section-they were starting to put up Valentine's Day decorations and candies. The flower area was beautifully filled with silk and fake flowers. They had a large jewelry area with all manner for jewelry making. HINT: Sign up online for coupons. The 40% is common and I've even seen a 50% before. Also, things go on sale and clearance. Check those out! I recommend and would go back to Michael's for any decoration or craft items. The place is neat & clean and service is good. The only negative is how crazy busy they get and the line can be long-though, it does go fast!

It's been about seven years since my original review. Good time for an update!…read more I stopped by Gem World last week, and overall, it's still one of the best places around for minerals, crystals, and rocks. The selection is massive. Whenever looking for minerals, this is a highly recommended place to go to. The main issue here, and it's a big one, is unclear and inconsistent pricing. A lot of items simply aren't labeled properly. For example, you'll see trays of quartz with vague Quality ranges like "from A+ to C," but no explanation of what that actually means. Because of this, prices often get decided at the register instead of on the shelf! Ouch! This leads directly to the real problem: whoever helps you can quote you a completely different price for the exact same item. !!! There's one older Asian lady you really want to avoid like plague, for example. no matter how high the prices are, she will always charge a triple the amount it cost. Very greedy. The upselling is aggressive and constant. Prices going up overall is understandable inflation happens. But when pricing isn't transparent, it opens the door to situations like this, and that's frustrating.

So glad we got in before the season ends! They close April 14th for the season due to the heat…read more The employees are super friendly, there is an INCREDIBLE selection this place is HUGE. Lots of great deals too-the prices are very reasonable and their clearance items are also well priced. So many gorgeous stone, gem, crystal and artisan pieces. Every time we pass through Quartzite I make a point to come here and it doesn't disappoint. If you're passing through Quartzite you should definitely make a point to stop by and look around.
