Best Little Rock Shop - Idaho Rocks & Gems... A great rock, crystal, and gem shop located in Boise, Idaho...
Idaho Rocks & Gems has moved into a larger building. Our new address is 608 North Orchard Street in Boise which is only a few blocks down the road from the old shop. The new building is 3 times the size compared to the old building. We have more cab machines for the Club, more room for classes. and more inventory to choose from while shopping. Here are a couple of pictures… Easy to find us with the yellow storefront!
This is the home page for Idaho Rocks & Gems LLC. We are based out of Boise at 608 North Orchard Street Boise Idaho and are open 10am-7pm weekdays and 11am-7pm weekends.
- We sell rock hounding tools, lapidary equipment and rocks and gems from all localities.
- We have classes for Wire wrapping, Flint Knapping, Lapidary & Silver Smithing at the rock shop.
- All classes are scheduled and posted under the events tab at the top of our Facebook page with the exception of cabochon classes. We teach cabochon classes every day and accept walk in participants.
- 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 promote rockhounding. 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.

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.”
