If you have a family member who is a rock hound and screams with joy when they see and find rocks, then this is their Disneyland. The shop has a very well stock and selection of rocks and fossils. This shop is on par with those we have see in Montana on the dinosaurs trail. Some of the items are on the high tourist priced side, but they are unique, and for those rock lovers, they can find a special rock. Make sure to check out the fossil on both sides of the display when you first walk in. Also, there are some great affordable round rocks in the left corner from the main door that make for great addition to any collection.

What a wonderful shop in old Town San Diego. This shop has curios mainly to do with crystals and stones. However if you take a longer look you find old coi s and other antique things for sale all at a price that won't break the bank. Which for old town is a pleasant surprise.
