What they do

A working rock-and-mineral gallery on the Pearl Street Mall — [[boulder|Boulder]]‘s pedestrianized downtown commercial spine. Inventory spans accessibly-priced crystals through specimen-grade mineral pieces, geodes, fossils, and metaphysical and gemstone jewelry. The shop functions as both a metaphysical retailer and a serious mineral gallery.
