When I stopped by I was fascinated, the guy is super friendly, very knowledgeable and had a great time and he don't mind all your questions!! Can't wait to visit again
Excellent place, knowledgeable staff. They have a lot of types of rocks and minerals. Great prices.
Alex will always give you a hell of a good deal! Worked for him part time for a few years. (psssst.this is Mary) Miss the shop, which has turned into something absolutely beautiful!!! A must for rock peeps, or those who are curious.
Awesome collection! Definitely go inside and check out everything. I could have spent hours exploring.
Buyer beware! You may be exposed to the muriatic acid fumes when u enter this shop. If it smells odd, get out. The acid vapor will burn lung tissue! Don't touch any liquid on the property. The owner leaves open containers of copper soaking in acid inside the shop. He also uses the acid to dye other rocks different colors. He's under investigation by the Hazardous Waste disposal of Michigan for dumping acid and other hazardous chemicals directly on the ground. Exercise caution when entering this shop or dealing with the owner.
Too cool.
Best rock shop that we have ever been to. Operators are super friendly and know their stuff. One stop souvenir shop for geology buffs! Great for kids to see mineral specimens and fossils from the area and around the world.
Great place to go for rocks! There's so much more on the inside than there is outside, too! They even had trebuchet ammo when I went.
Alex sure knows his rocks! From Agates, crystals, and copper to fossils and skeletons. A MUST SEE!! If you love rocks, you must go. If you don't this place will change your mind!!!
One of the best rock shops in Upper Michigan with a huge selection, from great big stone carved statues to tiny little trilobite fossils. The neatest items I think are the local specimens like the copper silver halfbreeds, datolite, and copper crystals. The variety is wonderful. The owner of the store is a great guy too. He's always willing to put in the extra effort, whether it be finding a very rare specimen for a customer or pointing a fellow prospector in the right direction to successful rock-hounding locations. Definitely a Must Stop for the Traveler as well as the Locals. You never know what amazing rocks you might find @ Prospector's Paradise. Fun Rock Shop for all ages!
