Attentive staff that will help you but also respect your wanting to browse. A wide selection of rocks, semi-precious stones, fossils, etc., which while not being exceptionally large is of good quality, offering items from common to rare. Because of their selection being of such a decent size it allows for those on any budget to find something that excites. I saw a few items as low as 25 cents and some as high as a few hundred--so whatever you want they will either have or may be able to lead you to where you can find it. Their prices on some things were not as cheap as can be bought online, but on others they were cheaper--given the ability to see items in person the slightly higher prices were not as bad, as I knew the quality of my purchases before I made them. I also hear that they offer a variety of classes at reasonable prices, so that might be fun to try.

This made me super sad as this seems to be the only rock shop within the vicinity. I guess I’ll have to drive to Salem to be treated like a person. It’s too bad, I’m a really great and...
Read moreLet's face it, good rock shops are becoming rare. Neukomm's is one of those. There's a ton of selection inside, from rough material to finished cabs, pendants and jewelry to loose faceted stones (including Oregon-sourced stones like the sunstone, Oregon's state gem!), mineral and crystal display specimens of all kinds and sizes, precious opals, amber, fossils, petrified wood, agate, jasper...you name it, you'll probably find it here! Stop on by and have a look - increase your collection size, find a gift, or just plain enrich your mind. Neukomm's is a great place to shop. This review was not solicited or prompted in any way, it is my own words and thoughts and I freely, publicly submit it for your consideration. Thank you...
