The Gem Shop is a true lapidary dealing with everything from the mining of fine agates and jaspers to the cutting of unique designer cabochons. Our rock yard and basement are filled with tons of different types of rock for every lapidary need. We are a dealer for several lapidary equipment manufacturers (Lortone, Raytech, Diamond Pacific, Graves) and usually have used equipment for sale.

Our world-wide contacts and number of years in business (39) have allowed us to gain a vast knowledge of the world gem and lapidary markets. If you are looking for any particular rock, email us and we will try to get it for you, or we will try to send you in the right direction.

Inside our shop, the jewelry maker can find a wide assortment of stone, and metal beads, findings, leather cord and chain. For the collector, we cut and polish fine agate and jasper specimens. We also offer the mineral collector a variety of minerals from all over the world.

To make a unique piece of jewelry, select one of our colored gemstones or cabochons and look through one of our findings source catalogs to select a setting. You may then go to one of our local metal smiths for assembly or even for a custom made mounting. For gift ideas, we have a wide variety of items made from rock, including bookends, wind chimes, carvings, spheres, geodes, jewelry, polished agate slices, fossils, lamps, and more.

All of us at The Gem Shop welcome your personal visit. Come and dig in the rock yard, which has tons of various types of rock in barrels and bins. When the snow obscures the rock yard, our basement remains open with its boxes and bins full of rock. Spend the day and have lunch at one of fine local restaurants.

Come and see our rock yard with the 8000 lb Arizona petrified wood log. This petrified wood was collected in 1910 from the Petrified Wood Forest area in Arizona before it was designated as a national park. This specimen stands about 6 feet tall. Bring your camera and take a picture!

We also arrange tours for clubs and groups interested in the lapidary arts.
