a girl loves a rock! and i am the kind of girl that loves a fossil or petrified dinosaur poop or a geode. the feeling that you are holding eternity in the palm of your hand...burnie's in almost all rocks or rock like substances like amber (which is resin, not rock). there is a selection of jewelry made from rocks, books about rocks, rocks for making your own jewelry, and jewelers who will make stuff for you out of rocks. there are a few goofy things like mood rings, but not many. it's a fun place to hang and the staff is (especially the young cutie) generally thrilled to tell you more about rocks.
burnie's is an adventure unto itself--a nice place to spend a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon.
the rock prices are decent and on par with any beloved rock shop. the necklaces, rings, bracelets are quality products so be prepared to pay for them.
just a warning--like many madison faves, it can get a little crowded, so take your altoids with you.
did i say rock enough times in this review?
