Rocking And Rolling — Local services in Carson City

Dear Cassandra,

Thank you for your review. I appreciate the sentiment of "leave no trace," and I practice it all day, every day. I would respectfully amend your review with this note: Obey the law and be respectful.

I've not been to this particular rock shop yet; however, it is common for store proprietors to offer tips to their rockhounding customers.

Remember: every single rock in a personal collection, in that store, in all rock shops, and in every museum in the world was once picked up or dug from the ground. Quite the moral quandary, I know.

An ethical rockhound researches the area they plan to visit. They avoid private property, national parks, federal land, and any other protected areas. They leave no garbage and disturb no wildlife. Personally, I try to pick up a piece of trash for every rock I collect.

Just food for thought....

Items in this shop are lovely, HOWEVER- The woman behind the counter, speaking to a customer was ENCOURAGING her to “venture off the trails” to rock hunt and TAKE what is found. In our wild areas, the preferred thought is “leave no trace” NOT leave no rocks. I’m personally not taking a “shovel and bucket” with me on any nature hike. I would have purchased something but felt the energy was not one I wanted to...

We are so lucky to have this store in our town. Wonderful unique items are for sale and lots of Nevada-themed gifts. There are beautiful crystals that you can tell were chosen with care. The gem of the store is the owner Jeanette, who knows everything about rocks and crystals and has the sweetest, most generous spirit. This is the place for getting that special something for a friend or something lovely...
