This place is Rock'N!!!! What a really cool spot to check out with the little one. Place caught my eye because it has a dinosaur skull displayed at the window. Brought my girls inside to check it out and we loved the place. The store clerk was an amazing, knowledgeable and helpful. We were allowed to touch almost anything in the shop expect for minerals or displays that are fragile. We spent 20+ minutes in the store and felt with some cool souvenirs. If you're a rock/mineral lover or have kids. Give this store some love.

I have always loved rocks, minerals, fossils, etc, so I went in to see what they had to offer. I was beyond impressed as the two gentlemen there were career paleontologists and geologists. They enthusiastically shared their knowledge and experience, and made the pieces I bought even more special than they already were.

Far and away the best rock shop I’ve ever been to. I travel to Fort Bragg frequently to visit family and do “recreational ethnobotanical fieldwork” and every time I make sure to stop by and pester Gary and Rob with my endless questions and chatter. This is NOT a metaphysical crystal shop, but a collection of scientific specimens operated by scientists. Gary is a geologist and Rob is a paleontologist.The small space is extremely well stocked and organized, with plenty of back stock just waiting to be put on the shelves. From small, inexpensive specimens (there’s a whole cabinet that is $4 or less) up to over $10,000; you’ll definitely find something worth bringing home. Each specimen comes with a card that includes type of specimen, location collected, and even the chemical formula!

I and my partner absolutely love this shop/museum! It is unbelievable how many gems they have beautifully organized in such a small store. Their gems are of the highest quality and beauty while priced quite reasonably. The two owners are also just plain nice guys not to mention experts in their field. I always visit their store when I'm in the area and thoroughly enjoy it! Thank you for such a remarkable store -- it's always an exciting event to experience, Marjie & Rob, Davis, CA

My husband and I had such a fun time in this store! There are so many impressive minerals and crystals, as well as fossils and bones. Very cool little place, plus the woman working the store today was super friendly and knowledgeable on the inventory. Definitely recommend

What an incredible gem (pun intended) of a store hidden in Fort Bragg. Probably my new favorite shop. My family and I are just getting into collecting minerals and so we just couldn't get enough of this place. The owner was super helpful and friendly and gave us advice on how to get started with the hobby. We bought way too much here, but everything is very reasonably priced. I always felt like I was getting the better end of the deal. We seriously spent hours in here and then came back a couple days later to see (and buy, of course) more. When I came back, I was looking for a specific specimen and didn't quite like the ones displayed, but they let me look through boxes of them to find just the right one that I loved. I bought a display cabinet for my home just to show off the cool stuff I got at this store. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Literal geologist’s heaven! I was here over the weekend and spent 30 minutes just looking at the minerals and fossils. If you love to collect rocks, this place has pretty reasonable price. The clerks are geologist and paleontologists, who are soo very nice. You can tell that they love what they do. I will definitely come back when I visit again.

Visited this place years ago and I still have fond memories of it. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and has many stories to tell :) I kept coming back for more crystals and fossils to make wire wrap jewelry. They have the biggest selection of ammonite fossils I have ever seen in person. I am still making jewelry from the items I purchased here years ago and get compliments on them every day.

The owner is the nicest person and will let you know all the information on any of the stones in the store. One of the most organized stores when it comes to stones I've ever seen in my entire life and the collection is probably unbeatable.

Amazing shop for all the rock hounds out there. The shop has the usual polished stones and geo's that you see at most rock shops.What is different and work stopping here is the fossils on display. One of the owners has personally dug up several of the fossils that are on display and for sale. In addition, there is a t-rex jaw bone on display and a cat of a triceratops skull.This is a great shop to support and well worth stopping to look at the offerings or talk to the owner.
