Since my first visit (and review), I have continued to visit Ancient Light every time I am staying…read morein Waldport, so at least a couple times a year. While I am still pretty clueless about most of the items they sell, I have continue to learn a lot by going in and asking about any/every interesting thing I see. It's incredibly fascinating and I learn something new every time. Their friendliness and willingness to talk/teach while not being judgemental or condescending is so very appreciated. They seem to genuinely enjoy what they do and talking with visitors. I have finally bought some things too, instead of just going in and aimlessly looking around and asking silly questions. I have picked up two dream books and have my eye on a couple of others that I would love to purchase if they are still available when I come back. I've also grabbed a couple of the smaller (and less expensive) geodes that I just thought were beautiful, and probably some other small pieces that I can't remember at the moment. This last time I went in, I finally asked about this red Lucky Cat bank I have been eyeing for months (a year??) now. I went in with my boyfriend and he bought it for me. I know it's silly but I spent a lot of time thinking about that Lucky Cat and I am so happy nobody else bought it before us because it makes me really happy to have it now. Sometimes it's just the little things :) And with their range of items, something is bound to stand out to you like that too. I have absolutely no complaints and wouldn't change a single thing about this shop, but I know that some people might have a problem with the "mess". I don't know if I even feel comfortable calling it a "mess", I think they just have a lot going on, and they've mentioned that they are always working on reorganizing and going through new things. I personally think it adds to the appeal though a little bit. Another reviewer says it's like a treasure hunt, and I absolutely agree! If you've made it this far in my review, it probably already goes without saying that this is one of my favorite little shops in Waldport, I'm so grateful it's here, and I am always looking forward to my next visit!

The owner is a wealth of information and an absolute joy to deal with.The owner loves kids and takes time out show them something new every time we visit. Lately, I have been looking at some of the colorful minerals he has in this random selection and think about grinding some into watercolor pigment. The have reds, yellows and blues and I am thinking of making an Oregon split triad of watercolors. Imagine painting landscapes of Oregon - beaches, the high desert, ghost towns, urban city-scales - using 100% Oregon found and made watercolor paints.

He has a large selection of jewelry and all kinds of stones. All for exceptional prices! Thank you Robert!

In October, we were driving the 101 for leisure when we saw large minerals outside a store that…read moreinstantly lured us in, but sadly the customer service, or lack thereof made us leave. My partner and I were walking around the store with about 8 other patrons and we noticed that three different customers tried to interact with the owner (?), a man who was searching on his phone the whole time. Two ladies were trying to talk to him about the store pup, while another guy was trying to make chit-chat and both either received a few grumbles or an inaudible response. He didn't ever look up from his phone. This type of service bums us out and we decided to return our handfuls of specimens that we carefully picked out while walking through their well-stocked store.

So stopping at Bree's Way, which is a new-to-me store (I'm not sure it was here even four years ago when I came home to visit) was a must stop. The woman there was really friendly, but they didn't have anything that called to me. Their jewelry selection was ok but limited; mostly rings and some pendants. They sell some chains for the pendants. They also have a lot of the standard Tarot decks, some esoteric and occult-related merchandise, posters, crystals, and so on. Parking was not bad for me when I visited, but there's not a lot of parking on Alder here. And if you don't know how to parallel park, probably best to avoid parking on the street. There's a parking lot about a block and a half down the street.

It's where I go FIRST in Eugene! the quality of their crystals is second to none (museum quality). I found them to be the best of the best!! If they don't have something, and they are clear on what you are looking for, they can find great deals and pass them along to you. James helped me fill my collection for rare earth metals, and elements sources for my teaching!! It was a challenging task I gave him, and he more than met my hopes and expectations (and reasonably priced as well!). I would recommend this shop without reservations!!
