Eggers Lapidary

I signed up with Unilocal specifically to write about my experience with Eggars Lapidary. I called and was greeted on the phone by a very nice lady who let me know their hours. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by Eric who showed me some of the stuff they have. He then led me to the back yard where they have many more samples. They allowed me to roam and pick through some of their bulk samples they keep in bins «between the sheds». I was looking for some Jade and the bin that was supposed to have some was empty, but they did have a smaller box with some nice samples. I then met Scott, the owner, while he was working in his polishing room. He let me know he purchased the business about a year ago. He gave me a tour of his equipment which I thoroughly enjoyed. While looking at the equipment, he showed some of the samples he was working on for other customers to polish and some he was prepping for future sale. I must say Scott and his staff are extremely knowledgeable. The specimens that I had chosen as a gift for my wife (shes more of a rock-​hound than me) was a piece of Jade and some others. I asked if they could polish a corner of the Jade for her. They did it on the spot in just a few minutes. I ended up buying 4 different specimens for my wife. The service was excellent, the selection was very good, and the prices very reasonable. Item of note — I’m from the DC area and we don’t have this type of stone/​mineral shop anywhere near here. I highly recommend seeing Scott at Eggers if you’re in the Denver area.

This place is awesome and they have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff, they always get new and exciting stuff. Go there if you are into really cool stones you will not be disappointed!

Nothing special, depleted supplies, and little of anything to get excited about.
If you’re into metaphysical double talk then this is the place for you!
As an experienced lapidarist I was disappointed and embarrassed.
Did I mention that they insisted that we check in my wife’s purse at the front counter as it was «policy».
Funny how the other customers weren’t asked to.
Too bad there was nothing worth stealing although we were informed that anything we found on the ground it was $ 2/​lb!
True story!
Save a trip, pass on this place!

My fiancé and I stopped by this little shop this past Saturday. From the 40 garbage cans full of stones out back to the beautiful geodes and amethyst clusters inside, Eggers is a real gem in itself. We spent a good three hours there looking around, and left with a giant rose quartz, an amethyst cluster, a piece of pyrite, a GIANT piece of obsidian, and some Apache Tears, a ruby zoisite double pointed wand, and several other stones.
The prices here are unbeatable and the staff is very friendly. They sell stone beads and some jewelry from local artists.
I really enjoyed my experience here and know exactly where to go when I need stones at a very reasonable price. A friend told me about it and I have been made a big fan. Go to Eggers!

Frankly, the service here is sub par. I came in looking for stone base for my wire tree and after walking around browsing for around 25 minutes someone finally came and greeted me. However, this greeting was neither warm nor communicative. Instead, the employee merely pointed around the store and stared at me blankly. Its a shame, the selection at Egger’s is gorgeous, the store is family owned (major plus for me), and the location is perfect. Unfortunately, the employees have no sense of how to communicate with a customer. This being said, i do believe i fit a younger demographic than most of the customer base here, but i think thats really just an indicator as to why Egger’s is closing this June. An inability to adapt to varying customer demographics ultimately leads to closure. I will be back during the final days to hopefully get some of the gems for a discounted price.

This place has everything. And great prices too. Love having a place close to Denver to get raw stones. :)

This place is awesome! I can’t be live it doesn’t have a review yet. The best rock or mineral store in the Denver area. Prices are great. I will be back for sure!!!
