Chapman's Gem & Mineral Shop 66 Metropolitan Road, Fortuna, CA 95540

"Wonderful stop on the 101 with a great selection of (hard to believe but it's true) gems and minerals. The gallery is a real highlight."

"One of a kind shop to buy gems minerals stone jewelry cool decorative pieces they even have real fossils worth the stop. Museum and gallery for your kids right on freeway huge parking lot easy in n out , out door is so picturesque and yes restrooms also. Friendly staff and owner"

"You can buy little agates/crystals or from the big piles per pound. They have a good variety including jewelry and statues. They even have a little museum!"

"Really fun pitstop! Had a good time browsing the gem collection which is one of the largest collections in the state. The staff was really friendly and the prices were very reasonable! I highly suggest stopping in."

"Every time I stop by, I have to stop myself from wanting to buy up the whole store! I love everything and anything rocks and this place is heaven. I highly recommend browsing the bulk (outdoor) section for as long as you’re interested; there are some really fantastic finds for a price you won’t find anywhere else. The indoor part of the store has a bit of everything and I love that they have authentic inventory— not dyed agate everywhere. The family owned atmosphere and the amount of knowledge their staff has is incredible. The museum is well thought out and a must see for any visitor or local. Chapman’s is a ‘gem’ of Humboldt County and I thank this store for all they provide for us rock lovers."
