MORE THAN A ROCK SHOP

A place to explore, discover, and uncover something unexpected. 

Wander through an ever-changing collection of minerals, crystals, fossils, gemstones, jewelry, geodes, and geological treasures from around the world. Whether you’re searching for a particular specimen or simply curious about what you’ll find, Earthforged is meant to be explored.

  • 01 Explore the Unexpected

    From crystals and minerals to fossils, jewelry, and unusual specimens, the collection changes constantly — so no two visits are exactly alike.

  • 02 Find Your Own Treasure

    Browse tables and displays filled with colorful stones, rough material, gemstones, and one-of-a-kind finds. Sometimes the best discovery is the one you weren’t looking for.

  • 03 Museum-Worthy Finds

    See remarkable fossils, rare minerals, and large display specimens that feel just as much at home in a natural history collection as they do in a rock shop.

THE GEODE EXPERIENCE

Choose a geode. See what’s inside.

Pick a whole, unopened geode from the selection and have it safely cracked open right in front of you. What’s been sealed inside for millions of years is revealed in a single moment — and you take home whatever you find.

Four ways to discover what’s inside

Moroccan Quartz — $15
A fun introduction to the geode experience. Crack one open to reveal a sparkling interior lined with bright white to clear quartz crystals.

Trancas — $25
From Chihuahua, Mexico, Trancas geodes can reveal drusy quartz, chalcedony, unusual crystal growths, and occasionally calcite. Every interior has its own formation and character.

Crystalline Bravo — $35
Also from Chihuahua, these geodes can contain varied crystal-lined pockets and formations, making each opening its own surprise.

Las Choyas Coconut — $75
The premium experience. Las Choyas geodes can reveal clear or smoky quartz, calcite formations, and — in especially beautiful examples — amethyst ranging from soft lavender to deeper purple.

No two geodes reveal exactly the same interior.

MUSEUM-WORTHY FINDS

 Some pieces belong in a museum.

From ancient fossils and rare minerals to large display specimens, Earthforged is filled with pieces worth slowing down for. Some are collectible, some are educational, and some are simply extraordinary to see in person.

  • 01 Ancient Fossils

    Discover ammonites and other fossils that preserve pieces of natural history millions of years old.

  • 02 Rare Minerals

    Explore unusual minerals, crystal formations, and specimens chosen for their color, structure, rarity, or sheer visual impact.

  • 03 Statement Specimens

    Large and unusual pieces turn browsing into something closer to exploring a small natural history collection.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & SERVICES

Made by hand, stone by stone.

Earthforged is more than a place to browse finished specimens. The shop works hands-on with natural stone through cutting, polishing, wire work, creative display pieces, and custom projects.

  • 01 Lapidary & Stone Cutting

    Cutting, shaping, trimming, and polishing rough material to reveal the color, pattern, and structure hidden inside.

  • 02 Jewelry & Wire Work

    Natural stones transformed into wire-wrapped jewelry, pendants, and other one-of-a-kind wearable pieces.

  • 03 Geode Dioramas & Display Art

    Cut geodes and stone specimens transformed into miniature display scenes and creative pieces built around the natural character of the stone.

  •  04 Custom Projects

INSIDE EARTHFORGED

Crystals, fossils, minerals — and whatever catches your eye.

There isn’t a prescribed route through Earthforged. Take your time and look closely. Displays are filled with crystals, minerals, fossils, gemstones, rough material, jewelry, carvings, collector specimens, and geological oddities from around the world.

The inventory is always changing, so part of the experience is simply seeing what has appeared since your last visit.

Look for: raw and polished crystals • mineral specimens • fossils • gemstones • jewelry • rough material • carvings • unusual collector pieces

THE EXPERIENCE STARTS OUTSIDE

The exploring starts before you reach the door.

Earthforged is tucked into a rustic warehouse-style space surrounded by a garden path, flowering plants, a koi pond, sculptures, and unexpected geological finds.

Look closely as you make your way toward the entrance. Some of the rocks throughout the grounds are more than ordinary landscaping stones — quartz and other mineral formations are part of the scenery.

It isn’t a formal botanical garden. It’s simply part of the wonderfully unusual Earthforged experience.

GOOD TO KNOW

A little different from your average shop.

Earthforged is a working warehouse-style rock shop rather than a climate-controlled retail boutique, so indoor temperatures may vary with the season.

The experience extends beyond the shop itself, with a rustic garden path, outdoor mineral displays, and resident cats you may meet during your visit.

Come curious, take your time, and expect the unexpected.
