The Shopped Rock
The Shopped Rock
Not every stone comes out of the ground on our hands and knees. Some of them we bought. Good stone is good stone, wherever it comes from. We add each source here as we go.
Irv's Rock & Jewelry — Spokane Valley WA
Just down the road from the shop. Irv's was one of the first places we ever walked into as rockhounds. The Thunder Agate Heart started here — a thunderegg we bought, had cut in half on the spot, and held onto for years before I put it on the wheel. Rocks Essential to Happiness. That sign says it all.

Ginkgo Gem Shop — Vantage WA
Out on the Columbia, just off I-90 at Vantage. Basalt country. The kind of place you pull off the highway because the rocks out front stop you. Ginkgo Gem Shop →

Story coming soon.
