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)

Great shop! Wore my mask, picked out rocks, gave money. Life is simple!!! Got a bunch of Tigers Eye and Montana Agates for my wife's mothers day gift. Great selection.

What a great shop! I went in to buy a tumbler and was guided through various options, as well as the rationale for stocking them. I also learned a lot about the process and the types of rocks I can expect to find in Seattle. Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable service - I’m looking forward to coming back soon.

Questions & Answers

Do they happen to buy rocks? If if not does anybody know a place that does?

I don't know that they do, however, it wouldn't be a bad idea to call and ask them because, if it's not something they're interested in, they'll absolutely know of someone else you can go to. One thing they have alot of is information about is rocks and gems and where to go for them.

Do you buy rough minerals and or gems in? Also, if I brought ht in some of my harde to identify prices would you be willing to help me positively identify them?

we do purchase rocks and gems. I would be willing to look at a few to see if can identify but charge $60 per hour after that

Come into the shop and talk to Lanny the owner, or any of the staff! They will get you set up with guidebooks, and any equipment you might need!
