i’ve been going there for years and loved their mom and dad and the selections they chose. time moves on however and it has changed big time from the old days… not worse, just different… selection is pretty good for the west coast, staff knowledgeable and friendly. service at check-out is slow and that’s never changed lol ! when staff are feeling tension unfortunately everyone feels it… prices are high but almost all the canadian craft stores charge outrageously. best i find is to wait for the sales and some of those are fantastic… not enough selection for traditional native… some bone and horn. limited or none when it comes to pony beads and brasses. great seed beads… beautiful rocks and crystals and always something surprising and a must have… go when you have a lot of time and not feeling rushed. small space with thousands of treasures.

They have good prices on crystals and a big selection of rocks and gems. But their customer service is atrocious!!! Every time I’ve gone into their store the services is slow and or incompetent. I’m not going there again.

Absolutely LOVE this store. Lyall et al are so helpful and capable and always go the extra mile to make sure you are well taken care of. The selection is superb, whether you are a stringer, silversmith or lapidarist (I hope that’s the right term!) I spend way too much $ there though and so have to restrict my visits. Some of their semi-precious stones are just exquisite.
