- We give away thunder eggs to every customer and every kid gets one as an award for not being an adult every time they come into the shop. We cut them for you too before you leave.

- We have a Facebook page to share and discuss stones, rockhounding and where and how to find areas to go hounding.
Join our Rockhounding Club:
“I am a resource for how and where to hound. You don’t have to just participate with our club. I encourage y’all to do this with your family & friends on your own time. If you join the club you can hit me up any time for spots and find out how & where to get material. Some spots I won’t divulge information on per the request of other hounds that gave me the info.”
As a Club Member, you also get access to our cabochon machines, trim saws, anytime access to our claims, and location pages to our favorite rockhounding sites with gps coordinates and driving directions. The amount you pay for a membership is cheap for all the benefits you get for a year. Consider joining our Club.
