Hinshaw Rock 'N Gems

Being as this place mentions being a full service lapidary we were excited to go visit a fellow rock hound shop. We got there and found some lovely materials we wanted to purchase but were given every excuse as to why we didn't really want to buy those particular items. The oil had to evaporate before they could be cabbed, they weren't sorted or priced... basically anything of any value they had they didn't want to sell, unless it was in their jewelry. As people selling things it astounds me to see people who do not make it possible or enjoyable for someone to purchase an item. If you want to buy some junk lapidary material, they might actually sell it to you... The attitudes of the people here made me very interested in spending my money elsewhere.
