RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME PLACE! Some of the fanciest selections of rocks and gems. All for a very reasonable price as well. 10/10 recommend.

First off, the wall outside with a bunch of minerals is genius, sets and shows the mood to expect when you walk in, as soon as you do, to your right there are beautiful minerals, some I've never seen. Prices are fair, and they have some very cool specimens. I got a rutilated quartz piece for 20$, a steal considering the size and I've never seen one in person before. Will always come back here.

Awesome place. You can't beat the prices. A wonderful variety of stones both in raw, slab, and finished stones. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. They even have a large assortment of seashells and petrified wood.
