Front of  YE OLDE ROCK SHOPPE

Ye Olde Rock Shoppe is conveniently located just west of I-95 and north of Pembroke Road. Our showroom is an active rock shop where all of our spheres and slabs are expertly cut, shaped, and polished on-site. In the front showroom, you'll find a full range of displays, along with a curated selection of corals, glass art, crystals, and jewelry. Behind the scenes, our storage room houses thousands of pounds of raw rocks, slabs, and materials ready to be tumbled. We take great pride in the organization of our collection and the research behind the names we assign to each piece. However, we’re always eager for more input and continually strive to expand our knowledge. Puchases made by members of the club at the Ye Olde Rock shoppe will receive a 20% Discount and half of the purchase price will be donated back to the club. Please visit their website.Ye Olde Rock Shoppe
