A hidden gem, pun intended…read more This store not only has an amazing variety of stones and crystals, but you can also feel that the owner truly wants to help those who walk through his doors (with the healing, metaphysical properties of the crystals). The energy, if you believe in that sort of thing, is absolutely amazing, and you know it's because of the intent the owner puts into the crystals he sells. Just walk in and pick out whatever calls to you. Likely its what your body and soul are needing at the moment.

Cute shop very small- it can get crowded with a few people. There were two folks behind the…read morecounter. I went in to check out stuff with my bf because we saw they had purple amethyst jewelry. Unfortunately the earrings he got the gems broke off the backings even before he got to wear them. Not sure if we just got a dud.. the customer service was alright. I'd say we were pretty much on our own not checked in on until we went up to ask a question which could be a pro or a con depending on what type of person you are I suppose. Otherwise, cute shop. I'm not too familiar with pricing on gems, so I can't say whether the value was appropriate or not !

One piece was priced at 15$ and was charged 26$! ..when asked for explaining she said "pricing sign was ....old..." ha! Aaand?? I asked her to honor her price and she said she has a lot of signs around store...? Outdated .. I asked her to honor her price listed or refund. She didn't do any. No accountability as a small business. This business is straight robbery. If you shop here be sure to ask for prices UPFRONT + be sure that's what they punch into register. ASK FOR RECEIPT. I am very passionate about my crystals and this was the WORSE experience ever. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

This is a great shop. Coming from Hawaii, I don't have access to slabs, roughs, cabochons, or…read morespecimens at any kind of a reasonable price or selection. Or just slabs at all. Trying to order online from retailers is cost prohibitive without being able to really see the items first. Visiting Mountain Gems made my trip entirely worth it. I got some great deals on beautiful material and spent over an hour talking rocks with two great guys. They have a good selection of cabochons and faceted gems in really cool carousel display cases. I saw some things I've only ever seen online and learned about some material from BC. Unfortunately, I'm not an experienced enough metalsmith to justify buying some of the cabs I really wanted, but it's definitely on my list when I visit in the future. As an amateur lapidarist, I was ecstatic to look through their shelf of slabs. I bought probably an unhealthy amount, but hey, I need to transport it across the Pacific Ocean. I might as well make it worth it. They walked me through some of the things I picked out and showed me some things I missed that I ended up loving too. Plus they wrapped everything neatly because it was going to be travelling. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. Guys, if you're reading this, sorry, I completely forgot to get your names. I really appreciated the time you took to talk about everything I was interested in seeing and giving me pointers and ideas on the slabs I bought. It was really the highlight of my trip and I will be back when I visit in the future. Unfortunately, I didn't plan my visit to the shop ahead, or I would have tried to take a class too. But hey, maybe next time!

The young lady running the store that day told me that the owners, Hector and Melissa Aragon, along with recently opening another store, have just had a baby! Clearly, this ambitious couple knows what they are doing! The jewellery being sold at Taraxca hails mostly from Canadian and Mexican artists, with some designs beginning to come in from Asia, Africa, India and Europe. If I haven't talked about the jewellery itself yet, it is mostly because there is such a diverse selection and I love all of it! There are some truly exquisite pieces done entirely in sterling silver and others set with gemstones, pearls and abalone in intricate designs, along with red coral, amber, steel, West Coast Native and wood designs to put some sparkle in your eye. Simply gorgeous! I also haven't mentioned that the prices are totally reasonable leaving you with the opportunity to indulge in a beautiful piece for yourself or someone else!

There is an entire row dedicated to foil beads and if they cut their foil inventory in half and added some picasso glass beads (+ more shapes like flowers, birds, butterflies), it would be amazing & i guarantee they'd sell more (as i end up hopping on ETSY to purchase these)). All-in-all, Beazu has something for everyone & you can easily spend an hour walking through each aisle.
