I was so happy to discover that over a year later, the rock shop was still open, after believing that it had closed around covid-19. Some of my best raw crystals and rocks have been brought here.

A must visit when you are in Thames, staff have great knowledge of the early mining history of the area and the importance of gold to the early settlers in the area. Interesting shop selling a great variety of rock & semi precious jewellery. Charles Boyle 18/3/2021

Great stop while in Thames and a real learning experience. Would love to go back again without the kids so I can spend more time there. The rock shop has a good variety of polished rocks at cheap prices compared to other shops.
