A rock shop with some very pricey pieces. Not much local, but still an interesting look. The staff was nice.

Nice place to stop and spend some time looking through all their items. Some very interesting rocks and fossils. The owner was pleasant and knowledgeable of the area and items they had for sale. We enjoyed our time there and found a great book on agates and some samples. Also a nice city park near by to soak up some sun.

Here is the a great place to shop IF you do NOT have kids, do NOT plan on touching anything of course unless you are purchasing it then that is fine. They do have a large selection of rocks to choose from in various price points so I will say that. If you look shady (depends upon the day looks really don't matter) you will be watched like a hawks next meal. Hopefully soon they will have a chance to learn some customer service and proper etiquette on how to treat people. Until then shop at your own risk & without your children or risk your otherwise enjoyable day.
