I've visited Al's over thirty times in the last 6 or 8 months and have stopped going to other bead stores on a regular basis. If you are looking for turquoise and Arizona style materials for jewelry I don't know of any other store where you can find the selection of turquoise, coral, abalone, and other natural materials that is available at Al's. They also stock a wide selection of stone as well as glass and crystal beads. The staff is very helpful and knows the inventory. If you are looking to match a piece of turquoise or a pendant with a particular color of turquoise, this is the place to do it. Prices are reasonable and the quality is very good.
