Stone Age Quarry — Local services in Reno

Worth a little SIDE QUEST when you are travelling! Because these are the rock LOVERS.

They are experienced, have multiple locations and they deeply understand the joy of what they sell. They have gone to GREAT LENGTHS to make sure you know the stones you are picking.

However, she packed my gems with love, and information on most of...
