Michael's is a fun stop for exploring natural and human-made gifts and keepsakes. It is an Outer Banks favorite and great place to find unusual gifts. The shop glitters with an array of natural crystals in a variety of breathtaking sizes. You can pick up chunks of natural crystals as well as choose from a massive selection of jewelry fashioned from beautiful stones and gems. Shop for bracelets, necklaces and more to jazz up your image with a nod to Mother Nature. You’ll find stones such as amethyst, citrine, garnet and rhodonite. Browse through shells and sea stars. Wonder over ancient fossils. Pick up specimens in boxes including insects and butterflies. They even have fish and American alligator heads! There is a huge selection of tumbled stones and marbles. Pick up a gem mining kit. Gifts abound such as sun catchers, stone animals, handsome keepsake boxes, beachy magnets, mobiles and fancy stone chessboards. If it glitters, is captivating or has a natural focus, you can find it here.
