On the Rocks

What a wonderful shop! And the shop owners were MORE than accommodating! My husband and I got confused and thought the store was open so we tried to walk in. To our amazement, the owner poked his head out and asked if we were wanting to come in. We said we would really love to look around but understood if he was closed. The owner proceeded to let us in and welcome us to peruse around!
Exceptional merchandise! My grandfather was an avid rock hound and I know good quality gems and minerals when I see them! Beautifully hand crafted bowls and plates as well!!!
I will def. Return if I am in town!

Great little shop! I was looking for a petosky stonen necklace when I was back visiting my home state and they had exactly what I was looking for.
Beautiful jewelry and the girl working there was BEYOND knowledgable. She answered my questions AND gave me a lesson in ancient geography /​ocean life.
Prices are not bad either!

Amazing jewelry and home décor. Friendly staff

I heart this place!!! The owner (a female whos name elude me) spent soooooo much time with my mother and myself. She was also great to talk too… She had a lot, a lot of patience… as I was like a kid in a candy store. My grandparents used to be jewelers, so I grew up playing with gems… so I was in my element. I tried on a ton, she even let me take a mirror outside so I could see the stones in natural light.
They have an amazing selction of agates and geodes. I was stoked that she was impressed by what little knowledge I have on agates… I happend to mention that my favorites are coyamitos. And she said I am prob. the pnly person in town who even knows what one is.
They have lots of jewelry, and also loose stones to purchase.
I ended up getting a pair of baby geode earrings… super unique and a ring that matches pretty closely. Both are totally magical to me. They are something, you just have to see. Trust me… you will fall in love when you see the druzy sparkle.
Super fun name too!!!

This shop is a must see if you’re ever in TC! I don’t live in Michigan but I saw this store on a trip there and it is absolutely fantastic! The items they feature will appeal to any woman who loves jewelry or anybody in general who is interested in geology/​paleontology/​archaeology. They have amazing fossils and geodes in addition to the unique jewelry collection.

This is a beautiful new store that opened in downtown Traverse City in April 2011. It focuses on rocks and minerals, and has super cool jewelry and items for the home that feature stones. You can find great gifts here– anything from jewelry, to bowls, to playing cards, to purse hooks, to dog collars. The owners are a mother/​daughter/​son-​in-​lawn team, and they know their stuff! The jewelry is unlike any I’ve seen elsewhere. Plus they have a cute shop dog named Sloopy– doesn’t get any better than that!
