It's covered but not really an inside store, as it's very hot and more like an outdoor warehouse. Organized shelves and really nice display.

Good stop and has a large area for making your own jewelry with individual beads and stones!

This store had the best prices of seen on so many items, if you pass through these parts you have to visit this place if you're looking for not only the best deal, but some of the coolest items if you're into crystals, incense, boho decor...this is your place! The owner was there on my visit, he was super nice and very knowledgeable about the stones and items he had on offer. This is the type of place where you could easily go crazy and leave with lotsss of cool items, and great gifts if you're on the hunt for all things spiritual. Love that there were papers with descriptions for many of the stones. My next stop to Quartzite, I'm headed straight to Road Runner Rocks to get some more cool gifts. Definitely a must see place if you're in the area!

He showed me how the rusty water that had collected at the bottom of a barrel had accidentally dyed many of the tumbled rocks inside and how that coloration would penetrate some levels of the rock while being repelled by a neighboring layer. Differing levels of porosity within a two inch stone. Fascinating.

I found Main Trading Post, attached to Outback Pizza, I was instantly intrigued by the enormous "Worlds Largest Belt Buckle" hanging out front, along with some cool wood carvings, and a bear in the window with an amazing crystal necklace hanging from its neck. I think I may have found what I'm looking for! Upon entering, I was greeted by Jim. He was super helpful and answered any questions I had while there. I was able to take my time and take in all the different and unique items on offer. From native jewelry, bows and arrows, knives, crystal jewelry galore, moccasins, beaded animals, lots of beautiful items and great selection for gifting! In the glass cases there were many items that were real silver, and each had a sign stating they were 50% off their sticker price. I ended up getting several rings, a beautiful beaded hummingbird to hang in my car, and some cute little Knick knacks for my toddlers, really happy I stopped in this store! I will definitely be back when I pass through Quartzite again. Main Trading Post is definitely worth a visit if you want a good deal, and a unique piece for yourself or a loved one.

One of the many rock and mineral shows held during January/February in Quartzsite Arizona. This was…read moreour first year at the Tyson Wells show. Tyson Wells can be best described as a swap meet focused on rocks and minerals. But unlike the Desert Gardens show ( down the road), which is focused only on rocks and minerals, the Tyson Wells show has many more vendors selling junk items made in China. That's probably the biggest negative about this show. You'll find everything here from animal skulls, to glass pipes ( like the ones you see on Live PD), and they even have a grocery store that sells mostly expired food items that were discarded from grocery stores. Perhaps one of the saddest things I saw was that one vendor was selling stalagmites and stalactites in one of the dark alleys. It's illegal to collect, buy, and sell stalagmites in several states. So should you still go here? If you're driving the 10 in January, definitely! It's free to park and visit and they have so many interesting things for sale here. You'll probably spend more than hour here, but it's worth it. Note - Earlier in the week we visited the Desert Gardens down the road and if you're looking for strictly rocks, minerals and fossils to add to your collection that's a better choice. The Desert Gardens show was family-friendly, Tyson Wells is like a true swap meet so you should treat it as such with your kids. Tip - You MUST visit the actual Tyson Wells Storefront. It's on the main street and you can't miss their sign. It's mostly a gift store and a MASSIVE selection of board games. The owners are soooo friendly to kids...
