Raining Rocks reviews
15Such a lovely experience. Suzanne helped me find exactly what I was looking for and brought out inventory from the back to ensure I had the right sizes of the crystal's I needed. They also tumble their crystal's right there in the shop and offer a class to teach you. Also an endless selection, I could spend hours there. So happy I found my new favorite crystal shop.
Had a great experience visiting this rock shop. The shop has a great collection of specimen quality mineral and rock samples. It is neat to see the variety in the collection. The owner and staff were so fun to get to talk too and very knowledgeable about pieces, their origins, make up, value, and oddities. There is wide range of things to learn about and explore.
Had a very special opportunity to learn about meteorites from the own who is an expert in the field. I am quite well versed in geology but know very little of meteorites. She was thrilled to take the time to educate us on the subject with great detail and provided us with out of this world hand samples to explain the principles relating to meteorites.
She helped us find pieces to add to our own collection. She was very careful about our budget and found us the perfect pieces! Very excited to learn more and get back soon!
Extra happy to find this gem of a shop! Suzanne was super awesome, she introduced me to meteorites and how rare they are. She gave my husband and I a little general lesson about meteorites and how they work and form, with so much more info! She also gave such amazing references to great scholary websites so I could learn more about the specimens of meteorites we bought. We also purchased other really nice malachite, azurite, and copper from them their minerals are very high quality and good price! Thank you both Odie and Suzanne for your time!
Raining Rocks provides so much more than minerals, crystals, rough and slabs. They supply knowledge like no other! Each member of the team has expertise in different areas - so you can learn about meteorites, lapidary arts, various mines and locations of minerals, as well as how they're formed, and just about anything else you're interested in. The quality is exceptional and the option of the live FB feeds for those people too far away to make frequent trips is exceptionally valuable. If you're looking for a specimen, or have a question, just give them a call! They'll find it or answer it for you - they have for me!
Wow! I am so impressed, this is one amazing store. Suzanne showed us around the store and introduced us to Odie the wonderful Cab maker at the shop! I want to thank Raining Rocks for the donations of Geodes to take back to the school for the students to see!
Absolutely Fantastic! So grateful that we have such a fantastic shop here in Tucson! The quality of items is spectacular! The incredible knowledge possessed by Suzanne, who is so gracious in sharing and answering any questions, is unmatched here in our local area. She is so awesome in making a novice feel comfortable and confident enough to learn in a area that can be extremely complex. Incredible shopping experience!
What a lovely store! The owner Suzanne knows so much about rocks, crystals, sand, meteorites etc and it was super interesting learning about pieces I asked about. I brought my parents here for a little taste of the gem show and they were thrilled to see and learn about meteorites from Suzanne. Thanks so much for that! I ended up leaving with some gorgeous unpolished slabs that I am excited to use for craft projects. Im also looking forward to the lapidary classes I heard will start taking place here! Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.
A friend of mine recommended that I visit Raining Rocks since I absolutely love both gemstones and meteorites. I’m so happy that I decided to check out this beautiful shop. Such a wide variety of these treasures. The staff is very informative and helpful. I’ve been visiting rocks shops for over 15 years now and this one is definitely the best. I highly recommend you check it out, you’ll be glad you did.
Such an amazing collection of gems and minerals, and so many fossils too! They have something for everyone there, from under $5 to much more for collectors! I love visiting new crystal stores whenever I’m traveling. So happy I found this one
If you are into gems and minerals then Raining Rocks is a must visit. They have an extensive inventory and extremely knowledgeable staff. It's like having access to the gem show year round!
Im so glad I found Raining Rocks while at the Gem Show this year. Its high on my list of places i'll visit when im there. A terrific shop open all year long with such friendly, helpful, experienced and down to earth people hanging out there. Loved it there!
Raining Rocks has a fascinating and diverse selection of high quality and museum grade material, including trilobites, megalodon shark teeth, meteorites, malachite, chrysocolla, Moroccan vanadinite, and a recently acquired old collection with specimens of Australian boulder opal, wire silver and Peruvian pyrite-on-quartz.
Wow What a great store and shopping experience! There are so many neat artifacts in here and Suzanne and Ilana who helped me were super knowledgeable and very friendly. I will be back! Thank you!
Fantastic shop with wonderful people! If you want to learn about rocks, meteorites, impactites, and things that I don't delve in such as lapidary, this is your new home! Great space and a very good vibe environment.
Found this gem of a place while on a short visit in Tucson! Great and amazing place to find cool jewels. Enjoyed my time here
