This place is truly incredible. The vibes are right and the selection is gorgeous! Incredibly knowledgeable and I even learned more about the piece that I brought in. Will definitely be coming back again!

Worth the trip!! Stunning new store - beautifully displayed rock and mineral specimens, air plants, incense, small gifts, something for everyone! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and cut/polished obsidian stones I found, a notoriously temperamental stone in lapidary work. He quoted me a very fair flat price, then ended up spending many extra hours on them without charge. Now I can't wait to find more rocks to have cut open! Will definitely be back to shop and talk rocks.

The Hidden Gem is great :) I had a rock that I inherited from my dad that had never been cut. Shane was very knowledgeable and advised me on the possibilities it could be should I decide to cut it. Initially he advised against cutting but after discussing further we decided to go ahead and cut it. It was a solid rock and needed a stronger blade that ended up taking about 1.5 hrs to get all the way through.
The results were amazing :) As most probably do, we had been hoping for a geode or crystals, however what we got was so much better! We ended up with a large thunder egg that revealed rhyolite, chalcedony and agate. Shane was able to give us a probable location as to where my dad had actually gotten the thunder egg based on the internal contents as well as give us an age estimate (21-25 million years!).
He provided me a great write up with all the information which I was able to share with the rest of my family who were excited to hear all about it. I am 100% happy that we decided to go ahead with cutting the rock and I am also 100% happy that The Hidden Gem was the place we went to have it cut :) - Kallen Smith··from Google
The Hidden Gem stands out because the owner sources only authentic crystals with complete transparency and integrity. He puts real effort into knowing the exact origin of every piece and turns away anything that doesn't meet his standards. That approach works together with the natural lattice structures of the crystals to curate a steady, tangible, and harmonious feeling in the space. On my first visit i picked one stone i kept thinking about, held it in my hand for a while and it felt right. My mom also had the same experience when she visited. The atmosphere there reflects the actual properties of these stones instead of hype. I left with real gratitude for finding a place that holds such standards.. If one stone has been on your mind, go to the hidden gem and see which one feels like it belongs to you.

Atmosphere: Warm and welcoming.
Vibe: Immaculate.
My niece and I were greeted by both cheerful enthusiasm and gentle, sincere professionalism. I am also a collector of rocks; it was such a nice and refreshing feeling to be able to talk to someone who also knows their stuff!
Come here for the rocks, crystals, fossils galore, but stay for the guy who carefully curated the shop with care, intent, and love. There is something for everyone there. You won't be disappointed! - Orson Fackrell··from Google
Quaint little rock shop. Prices are fair and the owner is super nice and very knowledgeable. Dropped of a rock to have polished
Edit; had the larger 90 karat gem polished by The Hidden Gem.. turned out amazing - Mark Peterson··from Google

A "gem" of a store! Fantastic Amazing specimens and such a great variety! Every kind of gemstone and minerals on display. A must if you are looking for a unique gift. The owners are super knowledgeable and they even have this great bin of treasures for kids to scoop. Their manager, their son is super adorable 😊. Love local storefronts like this!
