The Plates beneath our Feet

"Firm as a rock" the saying goes, but the movements of the earth beneath our feet can build mountains and affects what we see in the landscape.

The Time of the Dinosaurs

Much of our understanding of these creatures comes from films like Jurassic Park. New discoveries are changing our understanding of how they lived and died.  

Fire and Volcanoes

Huge events created the volcanoes around the world and continue to do so today while the massive  flood basalts killed almost all living things not once but at least five times throughout history.
 

Water and the Seas

From the icy Missoula Floods, the melting ice from glaciation and continental seas to atoms which form crystals the power of water  has shaped much of the world as we know it.

some nice things to say about us

I could sit in this store all day & listen to all the stories & information the lady had. So knowledgeable and so interesting.  Definitely makes buying gems that much better. One of my favorite stores on the mountain.
We love this store and always make sure to visit whenever we are in Big Bear!!! The owner is so passionate and interesting, happy to share his vast knowledge about all of the different types of rocks, fossils, and even meteorite fragments that are on display for sale. I wish there was a store like this in San Diego, where there are many gem/mineral shops that are so lovely but not perfect the way this store is. It's a great experience
Hands down best experience at a Crystal shop. The gentleman who helped us went above and beyond with educating me on every piece I was curious about. So knowledgeable and courteous. On the way out after purchasing a few pieces we ran into the owner and had the best conversation. The energy and passion they have for what they do is just so great. I will absolutely be returning... also great prices and quality!
