Geode Day at the shop! We are adding fresh Geodes to the bin and this one was too cool not to crack open. It ended up being put on the 10" High Tec Saw for the second half!
So much fun!!!!

Usually slabs are used for cabochon making but there is so much more you can do with them!
Pictured is Sonny's Slab Shelves that she made by adding decorative wooden feet to the bottom.
What can you create with them?

It was a busy and fun morning this morning with Jaime's Local Love. 😊💗

Miners Rock Shop is an immersive, hands-on experience where visitors can explore the beauty of nature, learn how gems are made, and take home a piece of the Southwest.

It is with sad hearts and deep gratitude for all that he has done that we announce the passing of our father, shop creator and owner, Sam Baar (senior). He was the first person working in the shop when it opened during the pandemic and his love for creating centers to visit, commune and learn about the past and the earth is one of the main reasons he started this shop. He helped create not just this shop but the Natural History Museum in Mesa.
He is the reason that Miners Rock Shop exists today. His energy and love of learning, exploration and education will carry on in the desert that he adored and through the wonderful experiences here in the shop.
He is already missed.
