Alexandria II

I called the store asking if they carried athames. The woman answering the phone had never heard the word and asked what it was. I said it’s a ceremonial double-edged knife. Her horrified response: “Oh definitely not.”

Cool store with good selection of fun items

My first and favorite place to learn all things metaphysical. I still have books, bags and jewelry from 20 years ago that I got at Alexandria II. Can’t wait to visit again

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I bought a piece of jewelry here and decided I wanted to return it. However, apparently you can’t return jewelry, which is kinda crazy given that there is no signage or any verbal warning about this rule. The only time you’re warned about this is when you read the bottom of the receipt, which at that point it’s too late. I work retail and it’s usually a policy to give some kind of warning to a costumer that the item they are about to purchase cannot be returned. Let me emphasize that I was given ZERO information about this policy or warning that I would not be able to return my purchase. I know no one will read this or care if they do, but the rule of not being able to return jewelry of all things should be communicated in some way to the costumer. If it was food, undergarments, or something from a thrift store, I would understand, but an overpriced piece of jewelry is absolutely absurd. It’s unfortunate that I now know this rule because I will never be coming back and will likely just discard my purchases since I can’t return them. All I wanted was my money back. Not an exchange, not store credit, my money. I’ve never been to a store (ESPECIALLY a jewelry or crystal store) that has this kind of policy and it’s honestly laughable how stupid it is. It feels very scam-y if you ask me, but like I said, I doubt the store owners care. I could walk into Gorjana right now and be able to return a piece of jewelry, but a dusty, disorganized crystal shop is incapable of that? I wish the newly hired “psychic” was there to read into her crystal ball and warn me about losing my money from this establishment because jewelry is apparently too difficult to return, even though it’s still in it’s original packaging. What’s funny about all of this is I can return crystals, which I would understand not being able to do so since I can probably find a rock on the beach and claim it as the rock I purchased. The kicker is that this piece of jewelry didn’t even have a chain or anything attached for it to actually function as a piece of jewelry, which is why I wanted to return it. All I want is my money back. Like I said, I don’t want an exchange or a store credit because I won’t be stepping foot in here again unless it’s to return the overpriced rock for the amount of money I paid for it. This is my warning to anyone unfortunate enough to walk into this store: DON’T buy jewelry unless you REALLY love it and want to keep it forever, because you will NOT get your money back and they will NOT tell you that you can’t return it. They scam people out of their money because they give no warning in any capacity and it is honestly unacceptable and disgusting.

Really cool crystals, rings, and books here!
