When travelling in the West, my son and I always enjoy stopping by the local rock shop to see what mineral and fossil specimens we can find and to, hopefully, add a few to our collection. We were very pleased to find that Things that Rock offered quite a few different local items at affordable prices. One of their specialties is rose quartz, relatively rare and originally discovered in the 1880’s in a large deposit in nearby Custer, we just had to pick-up a nice, well saturated specimen. Perhaps going a bit overboard, we also selected a piece of petrified wood that looks so much like wood, that you do not realize it is stone till you pick it up; an interesting piece of black tourmaline; and, my favorite, fossilized teeth from a Mesohippus, a small, extinct horse from 30 to 40 million years ago. The shop proprietors were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful so if you are interest in minerals, we would certainly recommend a stop at Things that Rock.
