Get ready to go on the biggest crystal treasure hunt of your life !!!!!!!…read more I spent about 5 hours here today literally crawling on my hands and knees with a flashlight. Search high, search low, search deep and take your time as your new crystal energy awaits. Don't rush or you just might walk by the greatest treasure on earth. There is a little something for everyone here. And an awesome place for gifts. I met Susan at a local gem show in Santa Rosa at her Lucky Handicraft booth. I can not imagine doing business with anyone else and knew that I must see her 2 stores. Go full or pack snacks because this can be an all day event. Thankfully they have a bathroom for you to use. Susan has always been so generous with me. She is very patient with me and I really like her as a person. The other staff members are very helpful. They do an excellent job of packing up your order and handling it with care. From pocket rocks to statement pieces this store has it all and it's easy to go nuts in here. Impulse control, which, I had none today......LOL They have a smaller store in Richmond and I visited both locations today. No one will beat her prices, selection or legendary deals. I can't wait to come back. This place is a must.

This store has a wide selection of styles, and unfortunately (!), much of it was the sort of classy, well-made jewelry that I love. Maury Woulf, the owner, has an uncanny ability to know what will look good on you. I was wearing no jewelry that day and he knew what color of metal and which colors of gems would look good on me. He chose a few pieces that were spot on. I had a bad case of jewelry want! I found out they could re-string and re-design some of my beaded necklaces. They do repairs. I'll be able to get a lot of pieces fixed and back in circulation. They have new and vintage jewelry and watches. I would trust them with my most treasured pieces. Two thumbs up! Way up!
