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.

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!
