LOTS of rocks and fossils. All different sizes and qualities. Love this big, pink quartz. I'm sure you could buy it if you could carry it. (But you can't have the old guy leaning on it)

We were excited to see all the rock piles in front, but when we started picking, the stones we selected were literally yanked out of our hands and were told NONE of the rocks were for sale!! They are clearly used as bait! Buyer beware when I say they are way more expensive than the MANY other rock shops within about a 15 mile radius. When the old, heavy set lady yanked those rocks, there were 2 customers who saw, were shocked and promptly put their items down and left. I went out to parking lot and gave them info to AWESOME shop in Hill City (about 12 miles away) they said they'd go there. AVOID THIS PLACE!!

This place is so worth stopping in for, there is so much to look at from fossils, arrowheads, rocks and all kinds of tourism buys. The prices I believe are pretty reasonable and the owner is super nice. The facility is clean, organized and lots of labeling. Parking is easy and lots of it.

Nice job!

The absolute best rock store Ive probably ever been to. I spent so much time in there. I can’t wait to go back unfortunately I had to leave my stuff there till the morning, but I’ve been eyeing that store since January the staff member working today I didn’t catch her name. She’s super sweet and definitely knowledgeable and if she doesn’t know, she’s gonna find out for you. Definitely a good vibe honestly just because of her customer service I would come back, but I’m not gonna lie that’s rock heaven for me🫶🏻😆 definitely get a five stars from Me. I highly highly suggest you stop at that store. If you love rocks you definitely will not be disappointed

We loved this place! Spent an hour and a half just looking at all of the amazing rocks and gems, then our kids went back again a few days later. This place is literally a museum with the owner's extensive collection on display, which has some amazing stuff. Great prices too and an amazing variety! My adult kids did the gem mining outside, which was fun and worth the price. You can buy a dollar rock, big Solo cup loaded with local rocks for $5, split a large geode for $15, buy huge rocks by the pound, or get amazing imports from around the world! The workers answered lots of questions for us and were very knowledgeable. You must visit!

Saw this shop as we were driving by and stopped to check it out. Had a great selection of rocks and some really unique pieces! Hoping to stop by again!

A wonderful place for kids to experience rocks and gemstones. We spent about an hour here. The “gemstone paining” is a MUST DO for kids and a great value starting at $7.00 a bag. Did take off one star for not having restrooms available.

the gentleman was very polite, prices were reasonable, and had a huge selection 🙂
