GEM & MINERAL COLLECTOR SHOPPING

Wondering where to buy your latest tool?  Or maybe there is a particular gem you are searching for.  We have compiled a list of rock shops and facilities for you to browse.  Some are local to the area, and others are a little further away.  Either way, we hope you can find what you’re looking for.  What is a Rock Shop you ask?  It’s a place you  can visit, sometimes in person – sometimes online, to admire and maybe buy a few nice pieces. Some rock shops will sell rocks, minerals, gems and fossils, books about rocks; and cool things made out of rocks.  Some rock shops will even sell the tools needed to collect rocks and polish them.  You may want to call ahead to see what kind of rock shop you’re visiting, to make sure they offer what you’re looking for.
