    Doc encouraged me to get out of the car cuz I love Black Hills Gold jewelry. Begrudgingly I did…read moreand of course she was right cuz I did make a purchase. I looked at a BHG hummingbird earrings but I didn't want to spend over $200. I did buy the tiniest BHG earrings, an Indian design ring, a copper hoop earrings and a bundle of sage. The white buffalo jewelry looked nice but the pieces were larger than I'd like. 3+ hours more til we reach Tucson. Let's get on the road again.

    Yes we got suckered into going here by the billboards. We all know the billboards as we are driving…read moredown I-10 and there is about 10 billboards advertising the many different travel plazas in southern New Mexico. I actually never stopped at one of these before because when I was younger my grandparents always flew through New Mexico and never would stop for anything. What made me stop this time around? Because my boyfriend saw that billboard for the desert bot which too him looked too much like a transformer so like a child he begged me to stop so he can see the robot. I'm not gonna lie, the robot was pretty good and he has his own little merch going on there. The billboard mentioned homemade cookies, which I actually did try and while they may not be world famous, they taste really good for gas station cookies. Their snack selection is pretty limited and their drink selection you will miss it if your not actively looking for it. It definitely wasn't crowded and the workers there were friendly. You do have to pay pretty far from the cashier though so don't be shocked if your cashier is at the register and your two counters away checking out. Overall its a nice stop and I recommend if the kiddos are acting up, to stop here and let them see the desert transformer.

    The very best part of my visit was being helped by the young lady behind the desk. She asked if…read morethere was anything special I was after. Yes, geodes cut and polished, as specimens for display. In the front room she had several small geodes on display. Then she took me into the next room where dozens more were on display, labeled and beautiful. She helped me find just what I was after. (see pictures) While I looked at the display cases she offered to open several boxes in back but I found everything in the cases. At some point her husband came in to also help us. Both of the couple were very helpful and friendly, totally refreshing and welcome help. Trina's has a large selection, really large, of everything rocks. The small front room has some finished items and supplies. Then the next room, very large, has display cases for specimens on one wall. On the other wall is a work area with equipment to process rocks. And in the middle are smaller rough rocks of all types in separate open boxes, sized, graded, and ready for crafting. In the back is a large supply of rocks in boxes not yet on display. Outside is a large selection of larger specimens for crafting. The shop is easy to find with plenty of parking out front. I would recommend a visit to Trina's Rock Shop if you find yourself stopping overnight or just driving through Deming. We really enjoyed our visit and found several excellent specimens to take home.

    Stopped at Trinas Rock Shop looking for some baker thunder eggs. We picked a bunch out of her…read moreuncut pile outside and had her cut them for us. Trina and her husband were very helpful in showing us the ins and outs of what to look for in selecting eggs. My daughter bought some of the custom made jewelry that Trina had, and they were reasonably priced and beautiful! This is a very nice rock shop with a big selection of varied material. We really enjoyed our afternoon at this rock shop!
