A NOTE FROM OUR FAMILY

Please Call Before Stopping By

We're a small family business and sometimes we're offsite fulfilling orders, making post office runs, cutting larger rocks, rockhounding, helping with metal detecting recovery or spending time with our son. Sometimes we're only 5–15 minutes away. Calling ahead gives us the chance to welcome you properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an experienced collector?

Not at all. New rockhounds, families and experienced collectors are all welcome.

Can I request a particular specimen?

Yes. Send us the mineral name, preferred size or budget and we'll discuss what may be available.

Can I stop by without an appointment?

Please call first. Our shop hours and offsite activities can vary, and private appointments must be confirmed in advance.
