Gaumer's Jewelry 78 Belle Mill Road, Red Bluff, CA 96080

"So many beautiful examples... if the rating was based just on their exhibits they would definitely be a 5 out 5.. now having said that my cousin and I have recently gotten into gold mining "rocking" putting tons of time & money into our operations. we are at the pt where we need to collect or stop. we recently went to Gaumer's Jewelry store (highly recommend in our social cir.)and yes the associate did look at a large number of specimens for us.... but no luck ! supposedly he(my cousin's & his rocks only-this time) hadn't picked anything with gold in or around it lol! needless to say He was crushed! He went to the next exit up and opened the tailgate and dumped ALL his rocks out onto the ground!!!I of course am more optimistic and reclaimed a couple I truly believed had gold in them. When I got home & a friend of mine brought over the metal detector low and behold that machine went off like crazy! A Fix - they should have an associate that is just for checking rocks that customers have... and have time to help guide them to what it is that is needed. THIS STORE COMES HIGHLY RECOMMEND BY MY PEERS & though we don't have a ton of money to spend on classes at the college Gaumer's would benefit from helping these folks as they would get top dollar for any gold that is brought through their door Right?? thanks All"

"This place has EVERYTHING you could want when it comes to rocks, gems and jewelry. You will never find the beautiful hand crafted jewelry you find here at any big jewelry dealer. Everything is reasonably priced and ranges from under $10 to thousands of dollars. They have so many unique items to choose from! If you are a Rockhound, prospector or just love rocks, gems and jewelry, I highly recommend this place!"

"I love this shop. Museum quality displays are everywhere you look. And the folks who work here are invariably courteous and helpful. Gaumer's has what you are looking for - whatever your interest in stones, fossils, minerals, mining, jewelry and more. They also provide repair services, and have a fantastic collection of stones and minerals from around the world if you are looking for something to cut & polish for yourself. There is a book section with trail guides and "how to" books, as well as a small collection of old (some out of print) books and reference materials that you can browse through to find just what you are looking. They have supplies for cutting, polishing, tumbling, assaying and more, and their prices are always reasonable. Some of the rarer stones seem a little pricey until you start comparing... Even if you just want to look around at pretty rocks and fossils you definitely need to add Gaumer's to your itinerary. It has super easy access off and on the freeway, and is a short walk (shorter drive) from restaurants and shops, including a modest sized Tesla Supercharger station. AND... they will be open on select Saturdays for the holiday season! Woohoo! P.S. Don't forget to stop and look at the beautiful petrified wood log in the entry foyer!"

"You definitely want to give yourself enough time to look through the museum and the store because it's filled with so many amazing rocks and fossils. The dark room in the museum section is so cool. My parents have purchased quite a few pieces of jewelry from Gaumers, and it's all beautiful. Seeing the store in person was really a treat. The jewelry is beautiful and reasonably priced. The women who worked there were friendly and attentive as well. I will be making it a point to stop in every time I'm in Northern CA. Updated October 2023*- Gaumer's is still just as lovely and has added a new room within the museum area, which is a must-see."

"Classy family owned jewelry store featuring one of a kind custom designed pieces. The family travels the world to collect stones and gems that can be purchased in the rough or cut and polished. The small mining museum is very well done and admission is free. This is a great location for kids to learn about mining, minerals and gems. The black light room is awesome and they have geodes that can be cut open on site. Take a picture in front of the giant geode "angel wings" There is a good selection of stones/mineral samples for just a few dollars that even fit kids budgets."
