Beads & Rocks

I'm not even from VABCH area anymore. First time coming back with family (not breezing through but breathing the air day and night for a few days and being surrounded by water. I woke the next morning with Intention on finding a shop a few showed up but my spirit took me to this shop. Didn't want to leave her or the shop went back 2x's and will definitely make my way to her again.

Great products great people great place.. owner is like the rainman of crystals and gems!

I walked a mile from my hotel and had really high expectations. I got to the store 10 min before opening and sat outside. I had my headphones in but saw people enter at 10:55. I stood up and opened the door saying "Good Morning". The salesperson SNAPPED at me and said "WE Aren't open YET"! (10:57) and continued he conversation with the other guy who walked in. I was kinda shocked, the town is deserted I probably would have been her only sale for the day.. I just muttered "oh ok"..and left. Wow. Hopefully you catch her in a better mood.

I just left Beads & Rocks, and had a traumatic experience there due to hostile customer service. I went into the store, looking for crystals to buy for arts and crafts projects. The store employee was a woman with gray hair that was dyed purple, and she was verbally aggressive with me when I was checking-out. She snapped at me when I was going through my purchase, trying to figure out how much the items I picked out would cost after being weighed, and made hostile comments that made me scared to be in the store. I felt like I was punched in the stomach upon exiting the store. I will not be returning to this store again.

My last stop of the day for minerals and I felt like I hit the holy grail. They have it ALL. Located two blocks from the beach strip, they have their own parking lot for patrons which any shopper would appreciate. I came into this space and although it's not categorized as a metaphysical store, I immediately felt its powerful energy. To me, that speaks volumes because I've visited so many shops in the 757 and zero have given me that pull. They have already made jewelry, drawers upon drawers of beads in all different forms and mediums. And my favorite, what felt like a mini warehouse of minerals. Be them polished or raw. A geologist vs a gemologist destination. I saw a station for cutting and polishing but didn't ask if they do any custom orders. I am giving this place a solid 5 stars off experience alone. Word of caution, this isn't your fancy, love and light store. It was hot when I went too. However, if you value minerals, crystals, stones which are uncut, still holds its individual energy, then you will respect this place. Yes it could use some TLC. It is dusty too, but these are essentially housing a lot of uncut rocks. What do you expect, right!?

If you're looking for beads and rocks, this is the place. Stones, rocks, and beads of various sizes from small, to human size. And they can make customized things of your choosing and they have a lot of offering.

Visited this shop on a chilly winter morning for the first time. It has its own free parking for customers, which is super convenient. It's undoubtedly the largest local brick and mortar selection for rocks, minerals and crystals and one of the most reasonably priced.It's really fun to browse too! You put the beads/minerals in a cute muffin tin or tray and keep track of prices with pen and paper. Shoulder bags/backpacks are placed in a locker or left in your car. It's organized and shoplifting proof.Some are priced per piece, while others are priced by gram. I had a really good haul today for about $30, including a smoky citrine tower for $13.40.The cashier was also friendly and really helpful with price checking, identifying crystal towers, and explaining the muffin tin shopping system. We also had a nice conversation on wire wrapping crystals (don't know her name but she had pink hair).Overall, it's become one of my favorite crystal/rock stores to go to and is a must visit for any crystal/jewelry lover!

Went there today, was asked to lock up my purse, so I handed it to the clerk, she put it in a locker, and did not use the padlock to secure my purse. When this was pointed out to her, she and said she would watch it. So, I guess I am supposed to trust a stranger who doesn't trust me ? Really??? A comment was made to her that she was more worried about customers stealing from her and does not care about customer's personal belongings. After that was said, the clerk she was doing what she was told by her boss and didn't appreciate our bad energy, so we left. So I guess this Beads & Rocks employee can disrespect customers because she can't handle a person questioning their business practices. This must explain why their parking lot was empty....hmmmWe were not disrespectful, we just asked a question, one question, and we have bad energy? Staff at any business should know how to hold a conversation or answer a question without being thin-skinned and defensive.

Beautiful place truly a place you would want to visit if you looking for something specific. Kind workers and seemed to be family owned. Beautiful rock and beads highly recommend.

Awesome variety and the woman in the store was super knowledgeable and nice, as well as very patient with children who had a lot of questions.
