Crystal Springs Mining & Jewelry Co. is a leading source for rare and natural gems, crystals and minerals. Owner Thomas Nagin has been supplying the market with high-quality specimens for more that 40 years, traveling to remote mining communities around the world to hand pick minerals in our inventory.

Buying directly from the source ensures the best minerals at the best prices while also supporting the locals whose livelihoods depend on these natural wonders. A native of the Washington, D.C. area, Thomas' entry into the mineral trade began in the late 1970s when he joined a friend on a buying trip to South America.

I've been traveling and looking for extraordinary minerals for over 40 years. During this time I learned that many people, even those with world-class collections, don't always understand what it takes to get minerals. People have always asked me what it's like to travel to remote areas, what the people and cultures are like, and how minerals are found, mined and transported undamaged.
The Arkenstone started when Dr. Robert Lavinsky first discovered his passion for minerals when he was only 14 years old. He was one of the first dealers to create a significant online mineral presence and has continued to contribute to significant changes in the industry. Currently, The Arkenstone is one of the largest companies in the hobby.

So, you have to call to get an appointment with Thomas Nagin, the owner of the building. He's got all the goodies upstairs and will be there to show you the goods. Check out this Light blue topaz I scored!

Weeellll. They have over priced pieces. If you shop around you will find similar pieces. While the place looks nice they will not give you a good price.

Really a unique find while in hot springs. Been going here for years. Check it out and I'm sure you will find a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry or an exquisite geode or precious stone.

Until now I thought a rock was a rock. They have so many different rocks and crystals that have given me a new view of rocks. I learned that rocks can be exceptional, unique, phenomenal and a lot of other good adjectives. Check it out for you (rself).

Excellent selection of unique and absolutely gorgeous pieces! They are always polite and helpful, always suggesting viewing items I may have missed. You've got to check out every nook and cranny or you might miss some exquisite pieces. Oh! And now there's a life-sized rhinoceros in the front room! Interesting conversation piece, no less! This is an excellent Rock & jewelry shop, and it's right next to the post office downtown. Always something new to see!

This is a third generation family owned mine with amazing gemstones and customer service. My husband bought my wedding present here and I am still thrilled with it three years later. Highly recommend!
