- We are a southern Idaho Rock Shop and Rock Club… and are located on the Boise Bench.
- We do trips almost every weekend weather permitting. The club is designed so you can hound our claims and sites any time without the group too EXCEPT Silver City can only be visited on a scheduled Rock Club dig.
- We sell rock hounding tools, lapidary equipment and rocks and gems from all localities.
- We are here primarily to be the home base for our local rock hounding community.
- We have classes for Wire wrapping, Flint Knapping, Lapidary & Silver Smithing at the rock shop.
- All classes and digs are scheduled and posted under the events tab at the top of our Facebook page with the exception of lapidary classes. We teach lapidary every day and accept walk in classes.
- Our club is designed to educate & teach new and old hounders how and where to hound ethically with your loved ones.
- 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 don’t do meetings we just hound. We are the homebase for rockhounding in Idaho.
- 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.
The amounts you pay for a membership is cheap for all the benefits you get for a year.
Regarding the weekly Club digs when they are at one of our claims or if you visit one of our claims at another time… You MUST be a member to attend or visit the claim. It you want to bring friends or other non-direct family members, they must also buy a membership according to the guidelines and reasons above.
Happy Rockhounding!!!
