This is a rockhound’s paradise. There is a large selection of tumbled rocks, but if you like to display the«raw» form of rocks, cut and polish your own, this is a great spot. Prices were a little higher than what we expected, but not excessively higher. Fred, the owner, is a great guy and he definitely knows his rocks. He will cut rocks for you as well. Worth the trip for any rockhound.

Huge collection! The owner, Fred, is an older gentleman and doesn’t have an online presence at all, but he really knows his rocks. Don’t stop with just the inside of the shop, he has barrels full of rocks out back. A lot of his stuff is raw, but he’s great with a rock saw and shaping tools. If you’d like something cut or polished in a specific way, Fred can probably do it for you.

What a cool shop. I am fascinated by rocks, fossils, gems and minerals, this place was so much fun to wander through. Fred(owner) was happy to share his knowledge of the stones, answered questions and even demonstrated how he uses his saw blade to manipulate stone shaping. It is fantastic to see a proprietor with that much zeal doing what he loves and being successful with it. Bravo! This place laid out well, I wasn’t expecting such organization. The larger rock items were mostly outside and the smaller items(tumbled rocks, more precious varieties and smaller man made products were indoors.) My parents have taken a couple cabochon classes and wire wrapping classes, so I brought them to the shop yesterday to look around… it was like taking two kids to a candy store. The prices are more than fair and they are very helpful & knowledgeable with the merchandise. If you like rocks, are a jewelery designer in need of material or need a stone for decoration you definitely need to stop in here!
