For over 35 years we have been in the business of providing our customers with the best values for the rockbound and lapidary hobby, the mineral collector, silversmith and jewelry maker. If you have never visited a rock and  gem shop before, a delightful experience awaits you. The moment you enter the front door, you are welcomed by clusters of lush, purple AMETHYST from Brazil, heavenly blue CELESTITE from Madagascar.  You will be amazed at the wondrous beauty of crystals, rocks, minerals, and gemstones. 

Located nearby will be a section with more QUARTZ - clear, smoky, citrine and rose -some with interesting inclusions. You will also find FLUORITE, SELENITE swords, and CALCITE in colors of white, blue, green and orange. PETRIFIED WOOD from Arizona, South Carolina, Washington and Oregon are here too.

Along with the natural CRYSTALS and MINERALS, you will also find specimens shaped by the hand of man into SPHERES, EGGS AND OBELISKS.

We carry an excellent selection of QUARTZ CRYSTAL SPHERES, ranging in price from $10.00 for l" diameter. to $389.00 for 3 3/8 " diameter.

A favorite way to begin the lapidary hobby (the cutting and polishing of rocks and gemstones) is by TUMBLING a batch of rough rocks into smooth, polished stones. We carry LORTONE tumblers and equipment , a large assortment of crushed rocks to tumble, as well as the abrasive grits and polish necessary to complete your project. 

We are a supplier of semi-precious GEMSTONE BEADS and FRESHWATER PEARLS,  temporarily strung, ready for you to design and string - or we'll do it for you. We also have sterling silver and gold filled beads in all sizes. We carry a complete line of bead stringing supplies: sterling silver, gold filled and 14K clasps, white and colored cord in silk and rayon, bead tips, designing boards and several excellent books on the subject.

You may place an order by phone, mail or email. If you order by email you may wish to call in your charge account number. We accept VISA, MASTER CARD and DISCOVER. Orders under $25.00 will have a service charge of $5.00 added.
