Big Bear Lake's only Rockshop! We offer a wide range of rocks and minerals from, or typical of, the Western United States. Our star exhibit is a 15lb meteorite found in Big Bear. We have a kids' table with at least 20 kinds of mineral all priced at $2 or less. Kids also enjoy handling coprolite (dinosaur poop) which is at least 66m years old. Our wellness and metaphysical section offers a very wide range of stones, pendulums, copper and bags of sets of stones designed to help with situations such as Loss and Grief, Anxiety, Depression, etc. Learning for all ages is central to what we do, about the minerals themselves, but also how they form.
