| - I went to Earth Gems for the first time last week, and I will now be going on a regular basis. Just wish I had the budget to spend more money there =P
The selection is GIGANTIC! The prices are more than reasonable. The store is clean, and the walking space is clear and wide enough for several people at a time. The displays are well laid out, and the colours flow very well from one to the next.
These guys carry Reiki wands, loose stones (some as small as a penny, others as large as your torso), bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pre drilled stones to make your own jewellery, wind chimes, and in some corners even incense and other burners. Just to give you an idea if you have yet to visit this store.
Pricing, again is very reasonable. I was able to purchase magnetic hematite, goldstone and blue goldstone bracelets, as well as a pair of small amethyst studs for about $20. Naturally, the larger crystals can range up into the thousands, but something that large is rarely needed/desired by your average shopper.
The service was what I look for when shopping. The owner(?) acknowledged our presence by greeting us, and left us to browse, but was able to provide us with information when requested it. Now, it was fairly busy when I was there, and it doesn't seem like they have much for staff, so do be patient if you require assistance.
The overall atmosphere of the store is calm but lively. Make sure you're ready to spend close to an hour for your first time visit, as there is tons to look at.
I personally highly recommend you check out this place, especially if you're into crystal & energy based healing.
Live well, rest well, be well =)
