Rockchuck Gem and Mineral Gallery — Local services in Yerington

Hi All, I finally made it to the Rockchuck Gem and Mineral Gallery yesterday... WOW, this is a very cool place indeed! :-)

They have a nice jewellery selection including Native and custom pieces... no el-cheapo bs.

The store is large enough for a few big families and is laid out very well.

There is a variety of useful books to purchase as you shop for your perfect piece (or collections) and most everything is clearly labeled so a new guy like me can find his way around pretty easily.

There is a HUGE variety of polished, natural and several custom cut pieces of... I think every stone known to man!

HONESTLY, I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS AWESOME SURPRISE. LOL

The owners John and Chelsea were friendly and quite helpful, the prices were also fairly reasonable as well and no sticker shock to be wary of.

It was over 100° outside and in the store it was a nice comfortable temp making my visit very enjoyable and top of the list for a definite return ASAP!

I highly recommend a visit anytime you're in the Hawthorn NV area or on a HWY 95 road trip to Fallon, NV or even a little detour pin the way to Reno NV.

Oh... It's just north of Hawthorn, NV about 15...

Great store, local owned with family running it. It was a great experience. They have beautiful raw pieces, they have pieces that have been cleaned up to fantastic finishes, and they have hand-made custom jewelry. I believe most of the pieces in the store are mined at their own nearby mines, too. The guy that was working was beyond friendly and helpful. He taught me a ton about rocks, stones, and crystals. My wife loves this stuff, but I never paid much attention. It doesn't matter if you are into it or not. You'll be impressed. Trust me. Go now and support the type of business we need. These places won't be around forever. You'll see breathtaking views of the land surrounding it on the way there. It's one of my...

Would really like to be able to post a positive review of this place. However, I drove out on a Saturday and arrived around 10AM only to find the shop closed. There was a sign posted on the door (through which you could see all kinds of nifty things!) asking customers to call one of two numbers for assistance. The first number I called wasn't in service, and the second went to voice mail. Twice. I'm disappointed because I would have liked to have done some shopping there and truly the store looked chock full of interesting and unusual things. But without a way to get customers in the store and without sticking to posted hours, I'm not sure what else...
