Welcome to Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop online!

We'll process & ship out your order within 1 business day!

Due to the individuality of our products only a small percentage of our entire inventory is presently posted online. So, if you are looking for something and don't see it here, please call us at our storefront to inquire. We're often able to fill requests via email or over the phone.

FYI. Our shop will now stay open until 7:00 pm on Thursdays!!! So, you won't need to worry about being in such a rush to get here on that day.

The birthstone for the month of May is Emerald! Emerald is a rare and valuable gemstone that is a variety of the mineral Beryl. They receive their beautiful green coloration from trace amounts of Chromium. Emeralds tend to have numerous inclusions, so unlike diamonds, which are magnified 10x to grade their clarity, Emeralds are graded by the eye. If "by eye" an Emerald has no visible inclusions, it is considered flawless.

Once again, if you're looking for something special and don't see it here, please contact us with your request.

We appreciate all the support our shop and museum has received in the past. We love the excitement of introducing rocks and fossils to a new generation of "rockhounds". Again, many thanks to you all and Happy New Year!
