I found a beautiful piece of natural aquamarine with black tourmaline running through it from Namibia - it's stunning and was so excited to add it to my collection. The owner was lovely! Such a kind man who spent lots of time with us explaining about the different minerals and fossils and where they were found. My friend said this was her favorite store that we went to for our entire trip to Santa Fe. Do yourself a favor and definitely check it out when you're in town. It's so cool!!!

As other reviewers have said, it's a small shop packed to the gills with beads and related items. Much of the stock is indeed behind glass so you have to ask for assistance. That makes the store less fun for the casual browser or if you want to handle things before buying. However, I think all the glass cases are understandable as much of their stock is vintage and/or valuable. The one staff person there was able to help me find what I wanted, even showing me a couple of different options. I bought a number of beads and went away happy.

We picked out two gorgeous rings to celebrate our anniversary and the birth of our first daughter, and it actually felt meaningful - not like buying something off a rack.

While I did find a few wonderful items that I love, I was deeply disappointed by the customer service. The staff members were whispering and staring, did not greet anyone entering, and felt completely unwelcoming--even during checkout. This cold energy is very unexpected for a spiritual environment and for Santa Fe in general. In fact, I felt the need to thoroughly cleanse the energy from my items before bringing them home. This shop has the potential to be an uplifting, beautiful space, but the staff definitely needs to improve their customer service.

Very cool old historical building! It had an attractive aged exterior that stood out from other…read morebuildings in the area. The wood looked aged and there is an almost unbelievable "established 1603" sign right on front. It's jam packed inside with Native-American arts and crafts. Ask staff for the history and provenance of different pieces since so much of it is actually Native American made. We loved our experience here and the most interesting part was the trapdoor they showed us that led to a sealed up underground tunnel. Najavo Pottery was amazing but its displayed on shelves in the middle of a walkway so if you have a large backpack or bag be careful where you are walking. Along the rafters on the roof there are weaved baskets that I loved and would have loved to take home but they were too large to carry onto the plane.

I highly recommend learning and practicing Reiki with Sharna. Sharna is very intentional with her practice and provides her clients with quality care. I always look forward to seeing Sharna!
