From the rock hound to the beginner, our items are beautiful and unique.  We carry mineral specimens and gemstones.  We have been collectors for 26 years and have large and small specimens for sale.  We also have an earth science section for our younger enthusiasts.  

We started our business under the name Illinois Valley Gems and Minerals.

Our large supply of  meditation goods will help you find the peace you are looking for, and maybe, just a little bit of healing.   We carry Tibetan Singing Bowls, tapestries, statues, mala beads, healing stones, pendulums, and so much more.
