| - I like big rocks and I cannot lie,
You other Earthlings can't deny,
That when a gem shines bright with just an itty bitty light
And crystal formations in your sight
You get ...
Ok, enough Sir Mix-a-lot. Today was my first go of Earth Gems. It's over on 17th Ave right next to Tubby Dog. I'd advise getting off your cell phone before you reach the top of the stairs. My mom had called just as we were parking, and so I was catching up with her a bit while I was perusing the rows of pretty rocks. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I got a very covert dirty look from the shop keeper at one point. In my defense, we kept it short. Anyway, once off the phone, I let myself be lulled into the quiet energy of the place. There was meditation-esque music playing in the background and just a few other people perusing the aisles. I found a really big rock that's supposed to stand for abundance and prosperity. It's $340. But it's so pretty! And who doesn't want abundance? I'm sleeping on that purchase the very least. lol
At any rate, you'll find bracelets already strung for you, some cool looking pendants that just need your favourite chain, and then all matter of precious rocks and gemstones, each with a descriptor.
So go on, get lost... in the gem store and look at all the pretty, shiny things!
