It's a rock lovers delight - geodes, crystals, mineral specimens, awesome Montana Sapphire jewelry as well as Idaho opals, Montana agates and Idaho and Montana garnets.

This is the ONLY place that you can get the crazy gems pack (kids pack) and boy oh boy it kept my 10 and 6!year old busy for 5 hours. We bought them each a bag and they sluiced right along with us. The kids pack is filled with a variety of EASY TO SPOT large stones and fossils. Our kids were so excited with all of their finds. My 10 year old even found a 2 carat sapphire in his mix! We soon found out that NO OTHER PLACE HAS this (it’s trademarked)!!So if you go to other mines grab a bag here for the kids to take with you! It will make every mine more enjoyable! On our way back home we stopped back by to grab a few bags for the road. Anna was kind enough to print me out some rock bingo cards to take home. We are even having them cut a few stones for us ($20 + $10 shipping) which was the best price we found so far! Great first and last stop! My husband found a 3.5 carat sapphire and over 17 carats of cuttable sapphires (in one bag) we have already cracked open a kid bag with the cousins!

We have been renting skis from the mountain location for three years in a row. The experience only gets better each year. We were able to meet the owner Joe and he could not have been nicer. We also had an Angus sighting this year, the guy is a Rockstar. The staff is professional, helpful, and just good people. The each of the staff is like the friend you wish you had that know everything there is to know about ski or boarding and want to tell you about it so you will love it as much as they do. If you want the best this is this place to go to. They also have some pretty sweet gear. A Couple of Dos and Do Nots: Do follow the shop dog on Instagram Do fill out the rental information online before you show up. Do follow their times when to pick up your rentals. Do get Angus to sign your hat or shirt as this many is a legend; he is the orange hat this year. Don’t be rude.

We were visiting Anaconda and made a quick run to Philipsburg. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend. The drive there, the candy shop, and mining experiences were so fun especially for kids of any age. A must!

This shop is wonderful! I would rate it as one of the very best in the entire Flathead Valley. Its clean and beautifully curated. There are many separate vendors within the shop and the goods they all sell change continually. Its a great place to look for Glacier Specific items. We visit this shop multiple times a year...its that good and the staff are wonderful. Prices and goods for all tastes and budgets. The shop has been open during Covid with logical precautions. I would encourage visiting and shopping there to help them stay in business. You will be amazed at all the goods offered for sale there. It is not like so many shops which all buy from the same wholesale markets to stock their stores.

Love this store! They are one of the few places in town you can get something that isn't marked up a billion percent and they have very fun, original graphic shirts/sweatshirts. Definitely worth the half block walk from main street.

Wow, so many great items but at very expensive prices. You can find anything you want but it will break your pocketbook. Great store on a side street in the town of Missoula. Granted their merchandise is top shelf but prices are high. Street parking is hot or miss. Great to check it out though.
