    The store has a lot of beautiful crystals but the people working there aren’t knowledgeable or friendly. I visited this shop with my daughter last week for the first time and the girl working there didn’t know much about the crystals they carried. When asked about specific necklaces, she stated she didn’t know and had to reach out to her boss, which she didn’t attempt to do. Also, as we were purchasing some items, during the transaction her co-worker and her were whispering comments and laughing which made us feel super uncomfortable. Especially since we are minorities and they were Caucasian. This is definitely not the energy I want to feel especially at a crystal shop where it should be a place of peace and acceptance. Also, two out of the 3 necklaces we purchased came apart in a few days. They were beautiful crystals necklaces but doesn’t seem like it was made with good quality. Very disappointed and won’t be going back to this shop again.

    This recent, smallish shop, addition to the mall is crammed with interesting stuff. Loads of Native American hand crafted curio cabinet type pieces as well as a lot of jewelry crafted with southwestern stones. Very early southwestern theme to the shop. Colorful ponchos, incense, figurines. Affordable, but not cheap, pricing. No pressure sales. Next to the Altice/Optimum store.

    Pretty cool authentic store . I’m a big time fan of Native culture and this place got a lot to offer. Jewelry, scents , clothing, art, amulets and more . The store have a cool vibe and prices are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend for all fans of the culture

    Very nice place. Just got some incense and and cute little animal to burn them in, they smell great. The jewelry looked cool, too

    That’s not a real Native American store if you want real Objects you have to travel to pa or central usa
