We visited Gem World in Quartzsite a few weeks ago and we were told there's another one in Apache Junction so we visited recently and saw the similarities. This store is a much more wholesale-focused store; most items are in boxes or stacked haphazardly. It's like a treasure hunt but everything is so well priced and way more affordable than buying from a high end gem store. If you're wanting a "regular" store experience this may not be the place but we brought our kids and there's something for everyone! read more

Great selection and price but they are close on summer time. They are close starting April 14 until winter time. That's it's a shame.

I've been going here for years for jewelry, gifts, knick knacks, etc. Consistently friendly service. Very reasonable prices. Beautiful variety of things, you can spend a long time here browsing around. read more

Selection was astounding and value was at wholesale level ! Highly recommend. 85 characters long is really kind of ridiculous for the amount of characters required in this day and age of shortcuts for texting ! read more

You know How are you walk into a store and it feels familiar? Well the store sparked a memory. It is nicely organized and staff are very helpful. You can shop retail or wholesale if you have a license. On one side of the store, they have large geodes, all types of rocks and minerals. On the other side of the store you'll find jewelry in strands, singles and bulk purchases. All sorts of charms in findings are also along some of the aisles. Prices are great especially if you buy in bulk. We all had a good time tempting each other with various purchases and finds. As I was checking out I asked if they had a store in Quartzite. Sure enough they do as well as another store in Tucson. I have been to the one in Quartzite. No wonder it was familiar! They have their own parking lot. read more

Can not say enough good things about my experience with the staff of this establishment. Vance is who I primarily dealt with. He could not have been more thorough and patient in helping me find what I needed. Will be doing more business with this establishment in the future. Thank you again Vance. read more

Great service, selection and value! I am looking forward to going back. The prices were amazing. read more

This is a wonderful store for anyone looking to purchase crystals of every kind shape, and size. The selection is fantastic. The prices are absolutely amazing. Sage ones and abalone shells, jewelry and beads, salt, lamps, and agate lamps. I could go on and on. Looking to buy Christmas presents or prepare for a craft fair this is the place you need to go. Excellent selection excellent pricing. read more

Found this place in early 2020 - they were not locked down and were a fun drive when everything was closed. I hear the owner's main store is in "Quartzite" but it was closed when i went. Have found some amazing pieces over the years including a huge raw amythist in the matrix and a gold sheen obsidian. This is the next best thing to going to Quartzite and the Tucson Gem Show. read more

Wow!!! What a fun place if you are a Rockaholic! Every time we make the drive from Scottsdale to visit this fabulous Gem World we have a great time! Today was no exception! 5 star service from a lovely gal with my purchase of Celestite. The sales gal helping my son with a glowing fossil knew her merchandise! Customers chat with each other as we search an abundance of treasures! The prices are amazing and seeing the majestic Superstition Mountains always a plus! read more

I love this place. Definitely not what you think it would be by the name. There is so much to look at I literally spent 3 hrs in there and didn't even realize it. This is one of those hidden gems that I'm happy I stumbled upon. read more

A very cool place. You know when you go to all those touristy places in Arizona and they have the really cool polished rocks for exorbitant sums? Well, THIS is where they buy them! Come here, cut out the middle man, and buy beautiful rocks BY THE POUND. That's right, they price all this stuff by the pound!. 5 foot tall, amethyst geode, 283.8 lbs $2500! You'll want to buy a bigger house just to have a place to put all this stuff. read more

Great place to add to your bead and crystal collection! The place is huge! I recommend you plan for 2-3 hours if you are coming from a distance and don't get out to that side of town often. Also, plan to spend more money than you had in mind. Lots of great stuff. read more

Visited this store on a trip to AZ to see friends. Enormous amount of gems at really good prices. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again on our next trip. read more

Absolutely phenomenal selection at an UNBEATABLE price. This place is where I got to get gifts, or items for my little shop. The staff is always incredibly helpful & descriptive if you need advice on what to get. I honestly hate telling anyone about this place, because I want it all to myself but I have referred plenty!! 20 out of 10!!!!! read more

AMAZING - this is where all the other rock shops in Phoenix buy their material if they don't get it at the Tucson show - they don't have everything but if they do have it it's going to be a lot less than anywhere else - I've been shopping at the Quartzsite location for 15 years and I'm glad to see they have locations in Tucson and Phoenix now read more

I LOVE this store, but one of the workers was very rude when it came close to closing time, she was saying loudly, " ugh there are still people in the store!" shaking her head around 4:45 when they close at 5.. saying loudly to where customers, ( I, ) can hear, "I would like to go home to eat dinner, let's hurry" I totally understand wanting to go home and closing, but their are definitely polite ways of going about it, especially when you're customers are what keep you in business.. read more

Great selection of inventory at fantastic prices! Everyone in the store was nice, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was very pleasant and a fun shopping experience! read more

this place is large and has a very nice selection. For me it was a bit out of the way but a friend recommend it as a don't miss! It appears to be in an old grocery store and it is FULL of crystals. It's a little chaotic. It's not fancy. Some stuff is by the case or box and some is by the pieces. The prices are great. they have a lot of beads, and everything else you can imagine. It takes a while to go through, but well worth the visit for me! I spent about $200, and I believe had I bought these anywhere else, I would have easily spent $600 or more. read more

They literally have EVERYTHING!!! You could spend hours upon hours in there! I'll see you there!

Nice place, I'd go more often but I live in California! Reasonably priced, better than anything else I've looked into

Really cool place and greatly priced. So much to see and find. I highly recommend stopping by if you're around.

They sell FAKE crystals!!! I bought malachite in bulk a piece was broken so I figured I would test it. It's FAKE read more

This is my go to place to shop for everything~ cabochon, brads, free form crystals, huge statement pieces, ready made jewelry, pendulums etc. Carla is lovely she has helped check me out almost every time I have gone in. I love all the options to choose from, and if you're sensitive, you will likely feel drained by all the energy. Excellent place. It's an hour drive from me and worth the adventure. read more

This place had not only crystals but also beads and jewelry making products. It's a huge store and fun to shop. I spotted some crystals that were priced lower than at some other stores. They are more like a wholesaler rather than a retail store even though they are open to retail shoppers. I purchased some crystals and jewelry display cases. I was looking for display cases and they had a variety in sizes. read more

I've enjoyed shopping at the Arizona Gift Center for years, but today, they lost me as a customer. I overheard a woman asking a worker if they had a restroom she could use. He told her they did have one, but it was not for customers to use. Then he said maybe she could talk a worker at the front into loaning her the bathroom key. If that wasn't rude enough, then he her asked how far away she lived (?). She told him the cross streets, which were about 15 minutes from the store. His response? "Aww, that's just down the street." As if to suggest she just hold it till she got home?! If that wasn't enough, they now sell and display life-size stone phalluses (statues of upright, erect penises). As I was leaving, I asked the worker if he was the owner (he was not). But I still told him, I've enjoyed shopping there for years, but thought having a phallus on display was just gross. He laughed. Then he said they called it their "giggle corner," because they'd overhear customers giggling when they saw it. I was so surprised at his response I didn't even think to say not ALL of their customers giggled when they saw it. To me at least, it was vulgar and offensive, and I will no longer be returning to their store. You'd think they'd care more about their customers, but apparently not. I'm so DONE with the Arizona Gift Center, and it's too bad, really, because I really used to like their store. read more

What an amazing gigantic place with insane prices. Just no black onyx :( Only crystal / bead store I'll ever go too from now on. So happy to have found this place read more

Very awesome selection of fun items. Gemstones, different gifts, household decor-like trinkets. Everyone I recommend this place to loves it. It seems like a sketchy area but is basically a warehouse of gemstones inside and well worth it. They do not have public restrooms- be advised because you can spend hours in here browsing! read more

I love this place. Prices are reasonable and their crystals and gems are so beautiful.. You can get lost in this,place not knowing what to buy, everything is so amazing., I think the name is kind of odd. I never knew what it was until my son took me there. I have been going ever since. read more

Out of business? I think the Store is closed for good. I heard the owner had an issue with paying employees. A wide selection of nice rocks but I'm not sure how long they're gonna stay open with the ensuing lawsuit. I think they may have already gone out of business? read more

Do your research! This is a cool place if you know what your looking for and how to spot fakes. I've noticed usually if there's no label, it's man made. The bulk packs are a gamble. There will be varying numbers of broken pieces in the bags. But it's a fun store to get lost in if you like and know your crystals. Inventory is constantly changing so you never know what you might find! Josh usually helps me when I go. He's very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately there's no public restrooms and they don't allow pets. Overall definitely worth checking out! They have great prices and wholesale options for business owners. read more

I've been a loyal customer here for more than 2 years now and I only get my rocks, crystals, and beads from this establishment. I usually would give this place 5 stars any other day but today. There was a new sign saying they require masks which has never been a problem before. They would not let me shop without one. I'm vaccinated and haven't carried a mask with me for a good couple months now because no where i go requires them. So I asked if they had any one i could wear and they didn't. Very disappointed. If you're going to require masks, you should provide them. Not how you should treat your customers. read more

This place is basically a Costco for crystals, stones, jewelry beads, etc. I recommend it to everyone who is spiritual and/or loves crystals. Great prices, beautiful pieces. They take whole sale licenses too. The store is kind of in the middle of no where and the name doesn't depict what they sell, but don't worry!! You're in for a treat. Must go to. I've lived in arizona my whole life and only found it about 2 years ago. I've been going ever since. read more

It's a bunch of lab grown, fake ass, the bullshit. The stuff in the cases Might be real but as far as the rest..... fake asssss crap!! Some of it looks like it was chiseled from a pocket knife claiming to be quarts or some bullshit crystals. Lol the only reason they stay open is cause there's nothing else around this area that has that much of a variety of BS!! read more

Sometimes you go into a store on a whim and are completely surprised. This is one of those stores. It's a great place for a massive selection of beads at lower prices. There are about 10 aisles of color coordinated beads and crystals. There is definitely some wow factor here. This is a place to pick up energy crystals or projects for you and the kids. read more

Arizona Gift Center - Great fossils and geodes for the kids. Very affordable!!! - Gift Shops Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

I just tried to visit this store after driving 25mi across town after work. I arrived at 4:53 and was told by a man who was locking the door that they were closed. The guy said "10-5". I said "it's 4:53?" and he said "we actually close 5 minutes early". Again I said "it's 4:53!" No luck. I was turned away. Even Maps said "closing soon", not closed. I suppose if your business is doing well enough that you can afford to turn away business 7 minutes before your posted business hours then more power to you. But there's no way I'll ever go back. read more

Ummm coolest place ever? Best place for geodes crystals beads etc except Tucson gem show.

This place is frickin heaven! Based on some of the reviews I was a little worried about maneuvering but the staff was super nice and helpful! They have carts for you to use and amazing prices without having to trek to Tucson but they even have a location there so that's awesome too!! Only downside is how overwhelming it is when you first walk in, I was like a kid in a candy store lol. I could've spent hours in this place!! read more
