OUR STORY…

During a trip to Quartzite, Arizona in the summer of 2015, Door County Rock and Gem began to take root. We brought home just a few clear quartz specimens with the intention of displaying them in the lobby of our sister business, Ephraim Motel. A line ad was posted in the Peninsula Pulse and before we knew it, the rock lovers made themselves known! As time passed, inventory slowly grew. A refurbished greenhouse in North Ephraim became the home of our first brick and mortar location. Geode cracking, mining at the sluice, and endless adventures ensued. We fell in love with sharing the beauty of nature and the fervor of collecting - and the response was unbelievable. In 2017, we were grateful to open a second shop in downtown Fish Creek and continue to let our business bloom. Our goal is to be an open and accessible space of positivity and learning, where anyone can come in and have a blast. Whether that may entail completing your collection with the perfect specimen, taking the kiddos to the mine, or just strolling around enjoying the beauty of the earth around us, we are so happy to be able to provide the place and share these experiences! The 2022 season brought incredible blessings and we are thrilled to now be in a brand-new building, designed by and for us, with the intention of continuing to grow and share this wild ride with all of y’all! We cannot thank our community enough for the support through this journey and are beyond excited to show you what we’ve got coming next!
