Best stop on our weekend camping trip! So many great rocks and fossils to admire/buy and Ron told us all the cool things about the rocks and Supes. And got to say hello to the friendliest lil horse next door.

I love this place. I took my daughter from Germany there on her visit to the states and she loved it. There are so many different types of souvenirs and if you love rocks, it's that much better. The owner is very knowledgeable,very friendly and we enjoyed our visit. Great prices as well! It's a little out of the way and hard to find, but worth the trip!

This unassuming rock shop had a very good variety of rocks and gems and other awesome stuff that you can buy and the owner is very knowledgeable about his collection.

Ron is very friendly and knowledgeable on the topics of rocks, fossils and minerals. His pricing is fair and far better than the stores you will find in Old Town Scottsdale. I highly recommend taking the time to drive out to Mammoth Mine Rock Shop. It is one of the best places to purchase either rough or finished material. This will be a regular visit for us on our trips to the Phoenix area.

Hands down, the most awesome place for rock enthusiasts! Wide assortment of specimens, both from Arizona and elsewhere. Amazing selection, and the owner is both knowledgeable and super friendly. I wanted to get one of everything lol but settled for a beautiful amethyst and bit of turquoise. Forgot one I wanted, guess that means I'll be coming back on my next trip to town!

This shop was an absolute highlight of a recent trip to AZ - incredible collection, unique pieces for sale, & reasonable prices! I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Ron - learning about his different specimens & hearing many stories of places we've both travelled. Definitely worth the stop!

Amazing shop with plenty of personality!I met the owner- BE AWARE!!****they are closed for the summer! They will reopen in October, with new inventory :) the owner himself told me they will be closed for the summer so be aware of this!***Anyway- he opened the store specially for me & my friend, graced us with stories of his expeditions and explanations of the formations of rocks/gems when I asked.They not only have precious gem stones that were harvested locally, but an amazing collection of dinosaur bones (available to purchase), fossils, books, minerals sold by the pound and more!I definitely recommend checking this shop out- they are very reasonably priced and you never know what you might learn from the treasure hunter who runs the store :)

If you're looking for the real deal, you have come to the right place. Not only is the owner an incredibly knowledgeable person, but he is also incredibly kind. I have had several wonderful opportunities to talk with Ron, and for a person who lives close to central Phoenix, this store is well worth the drive for me. I honestly cannot express how great of a store this is. The building is ancient. The stones are cool. Ron is practically a cowboy. It's insane. Much love for this store and the genuine person that owns it. 10/10.

We stoped by. Had a great time chatting with the owner and his brother. We collect rocks and the specimens there were really nice! We left with a bunch of geodes, Dino bone, petrified wood, and smaller specimen pieces. If you like rocks worth a visit for sure.

This was our first time here. There will be many more. The selection, while not overly broad, is wonderful. The quality of the items is what you will come here for. Some of the stuff he has here belongs in a museum. We had an incredible time talking to Ron. He is VERY knowledgeable and is willing to share. When you come out here make time to just look at the scenery. It truly is in God's country.

We were lucky enough to visit when Ron was there because he's a walking Gold history buff for the region.If Ron has time, he is happy to answer any questions you may have about minerals, gems and especially Gold.Ron is also an author and his books are great reads. Don't be shy to ask because he will autograph his books for you.My husband indulges my rockhound spirit but this is one shop he's happy that I "dragged" him to.We visited a few rock shops in the area and this was our favorite.Ron & Sweet Lady- the invite to WyoDakota Stands! We'll be in touch!
