While en-route to Carcross, I stopped in at the shop after seeing the signs for it, and wow was I glad I did. Not only is it stocked full of Yukon specimens, many from the old mines around Whitehorse, but also has superb specimens from the Northwest Territories and around the world. The owner is extremely helpful and patient, and shared lots of interesting information about the history of the mines in the area, and helped me locate some specimens I really wanted for my collection. Prices are extremely affordable, and there's a wide range of rocks, minerals and souvenirs so you can get gifts for everyone you know, even those in your family with no interest in crystals/rocks (heresy, I know!).

It's minus 30C outside, but it is nice and warm in the Lumel Studio! My wife and I booked their "Hot Date" and had a fun time with glass-blower Mark making two stemless wine glasses. Everyone that works in the studio, especially Luanne the founder, as hugely enthusiastic about sharing their artistic skills with newby glass-blowers. What a fun hour or so with two handmade souvenirs to take home (once they cool down!)
