Awesome little shop, we got some beautiful copper bowls for a very reasonable price. Has a huge variety of stones and owner was not pushy at all, and very knowledgeable. So glad we got a chance to visit this shop while we were in town. read more

This is a really great rock shop! I've been visiting here for years and have always had a really good experience. There's a large selection and it's very affordable! read more

5* for the selection. 2* for the service. 3.5* average. I'm normally not a rock collector (My dog is though but that's another story, just ask my vet) but this shop was on my way back to the hotel so I thought hey why not check it out. It's fairly small with only 3 parking spots but you can pack a lot of geology in a small space. There are several varieties of rocks, polished stones and fossils in different sizes. I appreciated that there were both common and quite rare pieces here for sale. Prices varied from $.50 polished stones and fossilized shark teeth to an impressive looking fossilized cave bear hand for about $600. I was especially intrigued by the fossils the owner had available. There were several different types of animal fossils for sale such as sawfish, tapir and even dinosaurs. They even have coprolite/fossilized poop if you're into that. The only negative was that I got a weird vibe from the shop keeper. I felt like I wasn't really welcome in the shop and he didn't want to answer any of my basic questions about the fossils and rocks I was interested in. Maybe I'm not as cool as a rock or fossil to him but sometimes I feel like a fossil, can't that count? read more

See all

have bought multiple things from here. love talking to the owner. He is a very knowledgeable guy and I've learned a lot from him. I ask questions every time I go in. Drive there from Mesa because I know he has good quality and is honest read more

This is the local rock shop that you dream of coming across in one's journey through the planes of life. It is like reaching Valhalla, where the wheat fields of Elysium are instead the cloistered shelves of Copper City Rock shop. I speak from true, raw emotion. The staff was so kinda and knowledgeable. The prices reflect passion, not greed. Come here if you want to reinvent yourself. You are a geologist. You are a rock. read more

Fantastic rock shop with wide selection and good prices! Great place to visit with family. Fun to watch the rocks tumblers. Lots of good advice. read more

This is the best rock shop currently existing in Arizona. The owner once held exclusive contacts with many of the larger mines in the area to extract specimens. He seems to have a limitless supply of old material, good material, and even the rarely found NEW material from the area. I'm a rather advanced mineral collector, and I've found specimens in this shop at very reasonable prices which I might never best at a mineral show for any price. It's a long drive from Tucson, but I've never left disappointed. Help keep the man in business, buy his stuff. read more

Great shop. Tiny building but jam packed with great finds. Owner knows his stuff and is incredibly helpful. He has reasonable prices. Finds here can be good for collectors of all levels. read more

My wife and I drive to this place from Phoenix all the time! The prices are unbeatable. There's a wide selection of stones. From little pocket size pieces to three foot showcase pieces. The man that owns and runs the place is polite and keeps to himself. He is very knowledgeable. You just have to ask him if you have any questions and he's happy to answer! read more

A great selection ~ bought rose quartz, unikite, amazonite, seraphinite, carnelean, cinnabar. So many crystals, so little time! Next time I'll bring my book, The Crystal Healer to help me in my selection ~ is a great go to book, explaining the benefits of crystals and their healing components. read more

Fantastic selection. Mr. Mediz tumbles his own specimens and they are absolutely beautiful. His collection of fossils from around the world is well-priced, his knowledge base is unmatched. So glad we stopped in on a whim! Highly recommended! read more

I love this place! So many different things and such a nice, kind man. Local stuff, exotic stuff, you name it, it's there. The prices are MORE than reasonable- you will be able to find something to walk out with, whether it be local rocks and minerals and metals to old fossils. I will definately be back. read more

although this rock shop has a good selection of fossils and minerals from around the world, the owner is not very friendly. I was visiting from outside the area and asked if he knew of any areas to stop for an hour to collect petrified wood or agates, he wouldn't give me the time of day! It's too bad when people are completely motivated by money and not by sharing... read more

Very nice shop, crammed full of rocks and minerals. Prices are fare compared to other rock shops in the state. Way worth the trip, but FYI, not open on Sunday or Monday. read more

I visited this rock shop a year ago, before I even knew about San Carlos peridot. The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered my questions. I bought a really nice 7mm peridot. I took it home to Washington State, and had it set in a ring. The price was fantastic and the stone is gorgeous. I'm planning another trip to Phoenix, AZ in November, and we will make a day drive to Globe, just to visit this rock shop. read more
