Grandpa’s Rocks

Grandpa’s Rocks Family owned/operated Rock shop. Selling T.Eggs, Geodes, Agates, Jaspers, Petrified wood and Gems. The inventory had been in storage for over 25 to 40 years.

I purchased the rough inventory of a rock shop that closed in the 1970's and a few large collections from the same era. A lot of what I am selling is coming from that inventory. Some of that inventory is marked as to what it is, where it came from, and what year they acquired it. Some is just in boxes with no markings at all. I will try to give you the best description and information about each listing. But I am not an expert, but just enjoy the hobby.

Blue apatite is a vibrant blue variety of the phosphate mineral apatite, known for its unique color and use in jewelry and other ornamental forms. It is a relatively affordable and accessible blue gemstone, and while not incredibly durable, it is durable enough for most jewelry applications. Blue apatite is primarily found in Madagascar, Brazil, and Myanmar. Other sources include Russia, Mexico, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, and the United States. Blue apatite is often associated with communication, self-expression, and spiritual growth. It is believed to be a stone of inspiration, motivation, and clarity, helping to overcome communication barriers and connect with one's true self. This particular specimen will be listed for auction this Sunday. Thank you for checking us out!!!!

First up!!! Indian Paint Stone

Indian Paint Stone is from Death Valley California. The interesting patterns and colors are created by trace amounts of iron and manganese being drawn into the rock by capillary action through minute cracks in the stone. To some this is a stone of grounding and stability, providing comfort and security, strength and healing.

These specific specimens are up for auction this Sunday if interested. See you soon. Thanks again for looking.
