Marsha's Minerals & Rocks — Local services in Los Molinos

Wow, what a great rock shop. My partner and I run a burgeoning lapidary/jewelry business and were on our way back to Oregon after a jaunt all over Northern California, and decided to swing by Marsha’s, myself half expecting it to be full of imported South American quartz prisms in all hues conceivable or otherwise. To our surprise this place was filled to the brim with excellent material, most of which from the state of California or Oregon, all of which described to us in colorful detail by the owners in between talking to their chickens. Much of the rocks we picked up were material I have either never heard of, or thought was no longer easy to find. These folks are very knowledgeable and have something for rockhounds both new and experienced. I will be coming back the next time I’m rockhounding...

This is truly a little hidden Gem that speaks to the true rock hound or just anyone who love to look and buy pretty beautiful yet unique rocks, gems, crystals and jewelry. It's like a more Down to Earth Gaumers for lack of better words. The couple who own and run it are very easy going and will work with you on prices that are fair. I do believe they still have a lay away option They are very skilled and know all about rocks and gems and even make most of the jewelry themselves. If you like rocks a shiney gems and jewelry you will love this place. It's a great mom and pops kinda vibe as well! Don't forget to sign the visitor book before...

If you love rocks & gems, and jewelry made with them, you'll love this place. Even though it's not my thing, I really enjoyed looking around. The store is a little dusty, but packed with shelves loaded with a huge variety of beautiful cut rocks. The highlight of our visit was talking to the owners, super nice couple. They helped me find a ring with beautiful smokey quartz in silver...
