Rock Shops Highlight Mineral Finds Across Five States
Five independently described rock shops offer unusually extensive collections of minerals, crystals, fossils and gemstones in settings ranging from busy tourist corridors to small-town storefronts. Dave’s Down to Earth Rock Shop in Evanston, Illinois, features specimens displayed throughout its storefront, while Manhattan’s Rock Star Crystals pairs a city-side escape with shelves of crystals and minerals. In Branson, Peggy’s Rock Shop stands apart from the area’s usual attractions with a dedicated geological experience along 76 Country Boulevard. Pennsylvania’s Bey’s Rock Shop in Bechtelsville organizes a broad collection in labeled boxes across long tables, and Michigan’s Rockhound Rock Shop in Galesburg presents a large assortment in a distinctive, welcoming setting. Together, the shops are highlighted as worthwhile destinations for rock and mineral enthusiasts.
