Most vendors sell full flats of the same product. It's mostly geared towards rock shop owners and a lot of them don't sell to the general public. Waste of my time.

We stopped by on the way back from the Sonoran Desert Museum, and this shop is wonderful! Us and the kids had a great time looking around, the prices seemed fair, and the girl working there was super nice to our kids.

Lots and lots and lots of gems and minerals. A little over priced from what we are used to but there is something for everyone there.

So happy these guys were open on Sunday! I was only in town for a couple of hours, but I had a great experience at the store. Purchased a really nice kyanite specimen, plus a couple of small slabs that I can cab later. Great place to browse and the owners are fair with the prices.

This shop is amazing, the amount of specimens and how well labeled everything is. The owner spent a ton of time with my kid showing him stuff, giving free samples and was so excited about his enthusiasm. It was a really great experience, that was a year ago and my son still talks about this place!

My family visited this amazing little store today, the inventory was out of this world, and the customer service was better than any where I have gone, I can not say enough nice things about the people that work there. We will definitely be going back.

Great place and prices are very reasonable. Unfortunately not handicapped accessible that I could see and step at the door is high, but definitely worth the trip.

This place is incredible. I went in with my family (Im a teen) and was looking for some specimens to add to my collection. Well we went in and I didn't feel comfortable with buying anything because I know my parents would buy it. We were trying to save money so I just wanted to look at the stuff and not buy anything. My plan was to see examples of the rocks so I would know what i was looking for. Well we saw many things and my parents knew i wanted something so they just handed me a 20 dollar bill. Hella lucky. Well i chose about 15 dollars worth of rocks and minerals and I went up to pay but he said i could have all of it for 5 dollars. I thought it was a joke and i joked back but he just let me have all of it for free. He renewed my love for rockhounding. Such a great place.

This place was really cool. I got a glass vase that was from the roman time period that was preserved from a volcano eruption. The guy who owns the shop was so nice and knew everything. Had mostly raw specimen's, but a few polished items. Just a cool store.

Out of the way but massive collection of rocks and minerals. Pricing seems reasonable and owner has two beautiful, friendly Airedales.

I am truly blessed I was able to have the experience I did today. I had never been to this store before so I was extremely excited. The worker there, his name is Scott btw, he is an amazing human and I am so happy I had the opportunity to be around him. The energy of the whole store was one with so much love, it was an amazing spiritual experience. I thank my spirit guides, angels, and ancestors for leading me here today. I will definitely be back lol I should just start packing so I can move in!

Great shop with some amazing pieces you won't find anywhere else. Friendly owner/manager. They used to have a lapidary guy here. Would love to see them open up the lapidary equipment for use by a local lapidary club.
