Whether you’re searching for a museum‑quality meteorite, a rare dinosaur fossil, or a striking mineral specimen to accent your home or office, we guide you through the experience with care and insight. We work ethically with trusted sources around the world, allowing us to curate pieces that inspire wonder and spark conversation. From seasoned collectors to first‑time buyers, we believe everyone deserves access to the awe of Earth’s—and the universe’s—most remarkable creations.

This is a great shop. They have a very good collection. Some of the items can be displayed as artwork such as fish fossils in beautiful light slate stone. They now have a 'crack your geode' machine. You get to pick your own geode from a barrel full of it and break one open for $25. Our chosen geode had calcite crystals. It had a small pocket and the staff offered to let us choose another one. It is a kind gesture and a helpful one if you have kids with you. Kids will absolutely love this experience!

We visited this space on the way to the museum today and I feel like their pieces were just as exquisite as some of those on display across the street! I’m saving this shop to shop from home. The associates were friendly and inviting and I wanted everything they had.

This place is the best. It is actually better than the gem room at AMNH because the employees here have a deep knowledge of all of the minerals that they sell. Bonus is that you can crack your geode (a MUCH cooler souvenir than the t-shirts and toys at the museum)
