I love how this shop has a range of prices and so many unique and creative figures. I was able to find something roughly in my budget and that I know my friend will love. I also noticed they had a Zuni Toons wrist watch, and the shop owner was kind enough to show it to me and present it under nice lighting so I could take a photo for my friend, even though it was obvious I was not in the market to buy something that expensive. He told me a little bit about the artist and showed off the artist's signature engraving on the back. A really beautiful piece. This is a small shop, but it has a lot inside it. I'm very glad I visited, and would highly recommend them if you are looking for something special.

Our flight from Falcon Field was a smooth ride with unforgettable scenic views of the area. Tour guide John gave us an entertaining and informative experience. We learned about the geology which formed the amethyst mine. He described the mining operation from stone collection through shipping the stones for jeweler evaluation, then jewelry design. The mining was dusty fun. We left with some amethyst stones that we dug out and enjoyed the return flight.

My review is based on our experience for the mini mine and the geode rocks. I was visiting with my 6yr old rock loving son. I was looking for panning options and I kept seeing this place recommended for its mini mine and geode rock. We get there and see the mine. Walk in and not really sure about it. It's really dark except this nice glow from a salt rock plugged in. Saw some clipboards on the wall. At this point the only worker there hasn't acknowledged us at all. So I go to the counter and ask her if we can go in the mine?, is there something we need to do?, what are the clipboards?; any kind of interaction. She said we can just go in and the clipboards are for a scavenger hunt. Okay cool, go back in, the wall says 1 board per family, okay, grab a board and proceed in. It's dark in there and can't really see so we grab our phone lights. There are different rocks/crystals on the wall. The "scavenger hunt" was the rocks on the wall; and they were all on the one spot we were standing. Just turn around in a circle and you're done. So we exit and see the geode rocks. My son grabs a few; because at $8 each why not. We take them to the counter and the woman starts to put them in little bags. I told her we wanted to open them there for the experience. (Side note... I had called the day prior to see if we open there or at home. I was told can do it in store.) She said she can only help us with one rock since she's in the store alone. Okay sure. So I ask my son which rock. He said the biggest. She then tells us the we need to get the lightest because heaviest may not open. So he picked a small more flat one. She insisted we do the rock she was holding. Okay, fine. Let's just use it. She takes us out the store door and guides us to this bench with a metal plate and gives my son glasses and a hammer. He hits the rock and nothing. It hurt his hands because the metal just vibrated. So I try and the rock just flops around and after 3 hits from me, a piece chips off the rock but don't open. She said see they may not open. So we just leave. Now that we are back home we will try again with our own tools. This was such a scam advertising on their website. The "Experience" they explain is not at all an experience but a waste of time and money. Find somewhere else for this. I would say go here only if you want to buy expensive jewelry.

After sharing with her what I was looking for she helped me start to try on different pieces. The issue wasn't finding the " right " piece it was settling with just one! Alas - decision made I left with this gorgeous necklace handmade in house! I also saw so many other incredible pieces- a mosaic watch, festive earrings- you name it!
