"I love this shop. I am not good with rocks but still like to visit for some fun. My son likes rocks and owner gave me some good info about rocks that my son likes it. Thank you."

"Really lovely rock shop with friendly staff and fun selection. We brought our child who enjoyed looking around. They sell geodes and we can't wait to get home and open it up. Their jewelry making supplies are also great; if I was still making jewelry, I'd be here often to get cabochons and faceted gems."

"I really love this shop. I don't live in the area, so I don't get here as much as I would like! But when I do, I'm always impressed with the selection and variety. There are tons of specimens on display for purchase and a fantastic variety of small pieces which is nice when you don't want to break the bank. The facets and cabochons are amazingly organized which is wonderful because, as a jeweler, that's where I go first! On my most recent visit, a gentleman who facets stones on display in the shop stopped in and he was wonderful to talk to. It's definitely a shop for people who love rocks and owned/staffed by people who also love rocks. If I ever move closer, I would love to take some of their classes!"

"The shop has a lot of really cool stuff if you're ever in lake City and go there even if you're not in lake City this guy he's had the shop for I think 9 years or so and he doesn't take very many days off but he's got a lot of stuff. I get polished and tumbling grit and I bought a amethyst there the other day anti drilled hole in it and put it on a necklace so I could wear it. Very reasonable prices too. The pieces of amethyst and everything else. He's got very reasonable prices"

"Fun place with a great assortment. I loved the rocks and crystals and my 11yo loved all the other nature specimens. We bought an amazing geode, slab of flourite and a bunch of smaller items for our collection. This place is super addictive! I found the staff friendly but kindly gave us space and time to wander lots and the prices decent. Also thank you, I called this morning needing advice to get sticker sticky off the big geode and the man I spoke to was super helpful. Nail polish remover safely did the trick. (This was a $150 piece)"
