Al & Merles Rock & Gem Shop

"Our favorite rock shop in the valley. Loved it when we lived here and it's a must stop every time we come back to visit. Owner is super kind very knowledgeable."

"I took my fiance here for her birthday cuz she loves rocks! Great atmosphere and service. We got some great deals, and found a beautiful necklace. I need to find the maker and check out more of his stuff"

"I was corvallis again for the first time since last summer, so I decided to stop here since I'd never been. This is a very cool shop, they have polished and carved rocks inside as well as things like rose quartz and amethyst inside. Outside they have a lot of "raw" material for sale by the LB, and they also have buckets for $20! The bucket I bought had about 70 lbs of mixed rocks and minerals inside. Definitely worth going if you're in the area. One photo is my favorites after cleaning them, and the other picture is the entire bucket spread out in my yard."

"Al is an amazing man and business owner. His knowledge of rocks and gems are quite impressive. He is honest, patient, very resourceful, extremely intelligent, a gentleman and just an all-around sweetheart. His store is limitless, when it comes to inventory of even the rarest of stones. Even if you've lived in Corvallis, for years and never stopped by, I highly recommend that you do. It will be quite a fun adventure and I guarantee that you will learn something new! He is open Tuesday thru Sunday, 10-5pm. Mondays he is closed. (There used to be a white house, in front of the Rock shop, it is now a huge parking space!)"

"This place is an Oregon treasure. Amazing selection of both rough specimens and quality worked items. Worth traveling to from any part of the State. Owner and his son are both super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!!"
