There are some beautiful pieces on display. I don't know the name, but there are thin slices of gems/rocks/crystals with stunning blues and greens.There are some truly wonderful jewelry in the cases. My wife found a delicate turquoise ring with three small stones that she just loved. It looks like a band of stones, but there's the thinnest metal between each stone.We came to the shop because my mother told us it was where she'd purchased an arrowhead for my father.From jewelry to gemstones, to crystals, to uncut stones, there's pretty much something for everyone here. We almost got a geode for my father to break open.Definitely stop by and walk around a bit if you're in the area. It'll be hard not to buy something.

Stopped in to pick up some gifts for kids back home. Picked out a couple of break-your-own geodes and they were a big hit! Person working the counter (owner?) was very friendly and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend if you're into or looking for rocks and minerals!

Loved stopping in this rock shop on the way through the eastern sierras! I got a lovely crystal from here! There was a large selection of beautiful crystals here and they had crystals you simply cannot find other places which was very cool. Lone Pine is a cool place. I will be back! Thank you!

I live in Bishop and called to make sure they were open. The woman said they were open and she took lunch when she could find time to get out. Usually around 1. So my husband and I left Bishop at 11:15. We got to her store at 12:10pm. She told us we had to leave in 30 minutes. I was pissed. I called and specifically asked her and now she's rushing us out and as I write this review it is 12:38pm and already heading back home. I believe her name was Diana. She had long blonde hair and a cross necklace. When I told her I was the one that called she did not care. I asked her why she rushed us out. She said she has a Dr appt. I asked why she didn't inform me of this when I called. She said she doesn't need to . I said you don't need to tell me you have a Dr appt but you could say I am leaving at 12:45 maybe today's not a good day. My mind is blown at how inconsiderate this woman was and didn't even say sorry. Very rude,. Very impersonal and horrible customer service. My husband and I loved your shop and have purchased many many pieces. Will never go back!!!

I've traveled to lone pine many times over these last few years. Never have I stopped at this gem shop, now I see I should have read the reviews before going. I had issues with the same older woman many others had issues with. Upon entering the store there was nothing posted saying masks were required. This wasn't the issue, but right when I entered and said hello the rude older woman working there snapped at us to put a mask on. I found this to be very funny because she was NOT wearing a mask herself. The irony. After this i completely lost my desire to be in the store. She ruined my experience. for those going here just be wary of this woman as she seems having a horrible time for her to be so rude to everyone.

Hours on Yelp seem to be inaccurate the neon open sign was on as well as all the lights but sign was flipped to the close sign? Very disappointing:(

Dream store for people that enjoy rocks, minerals and fossils. Very informative with a lot of cute trinkets made of minerals. Always worth the stop when driving through Lone Pine.

We had such a fun time picking out a geode and getting it cut open. The younger girl working was super helpful and informative about local history!

Great place. It is a must-stop whenever we go to lone Pine. They have metal signs, non-rock stuff and rocks galore. People are always helpful and friendly.

This store had a nice little selection of rocks, jewelry and gifts, but unfortunately the shopping experience was ruined by the atrocious lack of customer service and rude/impatient demeanor of the older lady who was working there. She said her name was "Jean" when I asked her, but I wouldn't be surprised if she lied about that.My friends and I came in here twice, once on the way to our destination, and once on the way back. I gave her the benefit of the doubt the first time in, perhaps this lady was having a bad day & wasn't aware of how rude she was. The second time in solidified the fact that she is an absolutely abhorrent and rude individual.The first trip in, my friends and I walked around browsing. I was particularly interested in the crystals. I asked to see some in the case. She looked perturbed that I had disturbed her to open the case at all. I wanted to take a look at several different pieces of obsidian to see which I liked best. She was utterly annoyed that I wanted to see the different pieces and said, "They're all black you know." Yes lady, obviously they're all black, they are all obsidian! I wanted to see which one was the best quality and feel the weight of each piece in my hand. I chose my piece and cont. to look around the shop. I found two more pieces I wanted to look at and again, she didn't even hide the fact that she was again troubled to have to offer us some customer service (shocker, this is your job lady!) I decided to wait on purchasing another piece, as it was pricier so I wanted to think on it (plus the lady again, did not want to be bothered with having to wait on a customer-again, this is your job by definition lady). When checking out, I asked a simple question about the red and black obsidian pieces & what the red coloring was, to which she said "I don't know. If you have a smart phone, you can look it up yourself!" I was flabbergasted at her utter rudeness and lack of helpfulness. All you have to say is, "so sorry, but I'm not too sure." Again, this is your job lady.The second time we went in on the way back, we had to wait for her to come back from her lunch break. She arrived at the store finally, at which point we got up to enter the store too and she said, "I'm not open yet, I'll come out and grab you when I'm ready for you to come in." My friend and I just looked at each other and were like, okkkkkk. She came out and let us in and we took a look around. I saw a beautiful silver bangle the first time I was there & wanted to find out more about it. I asked her "How much is the silver bangle?" She said "WHAT?" I said, "How much is this silver bangle here?" To which she replied, "I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING YOU'RE SAYING." At which point I had to repeat myself a third time. She said "$70.....I think." She didn't even offer to check and see if that was the actual price or open up the case. Five minutes later, she asked if I wanted to see it. I just thought to myself, a little late to be offering that now lady. I told her no thank you. I was planning on buying the expensive crystal I was looking at the first time I came in but decided against it because of how absolutely harsh and unpleasant she had been on both occasions."Jean", if that's her real name should learn the meaning of customer service. It completely turned me off to the whole store, my friends included who also witnessed and had to deal with her rude, callous behavior. This place is a nice little store but will lose a lot of sales with someone like her running the counter. She offers no help and is put off by being asked basic questions and requests for assistance around the store. This is your job. If you are so exasperated and bitter at having to perform your daily work duties, perhaps it's time to retire. She was awful and will drive a lot of business away which is unf
