Well............. Does anyone know what happens when you go on vacation and you visit BOTH of these establishments in 3 days??? Necessary/mandatory overtime that's what happens. 55# of assorted jasper, bot and carnelian rough, an 11# chunck of crazy lace agate, 25# each of 5 different grits, a crystal cluster I could die for (oh yeah I got it), a slew of other things and a Rebel 14. Overtime here I come. Advice to all don't do it Just don't do it!!!!!!!!

That sounds like way too much fun! Congrats on the shopping spree. Just think of how much more it would have cost if you had to have it shipped!

It’s bad enough I have access to the internet. I believe KN has a truck stopping by my house in the next day or so…🤓

Free Shipping always wins !
Both places would be hard -
Too many hard decisions, what NOT to buy in one so I could save $ to spend in the other !
Look forward to seeing the color glossies Unpacking it all will be fun.

My two favorite stores! I have been to Kingsley North, but not the Rocketed. I was sort of disappointed in Kingsley North in person. They're obviously set up mainly as an online store. I was expecting to see a showroom with lots of things on display. I did enjoy the rock room though, and came out with a pretty good haul.
What is the Rock Shed like? Is it similar to Kingsley North or do they have a better showroom?

Is it similar to Kingsley North or do they have a better showroom? JugglerguyI was disappointed too. Like you said it's basically set up as an online store. We asked about classifiers and she had to look it up in the catalog. They list a lot of the rock and mineral small books by state but didn't have any out. I too liked the rock room. The Rock Shed is basically the size of a single car garage, maybe a touch bigger. You have to ask for tumble rough and anything else, like the acrylic lap backs, and they go down in the basement to get it for you. I am glad I asked if I could place an order but pick it up. Saved a lot of shipping costs and time as they didn't have to get it all together while I stood there. They do have bigger rough pieces for slabbing outside in big bins and that area is 2 or 3 times bigger than the building. Shawn is really nice as is the girl behind the counter. If you are in the market for slabbing rough and are in the area I think it is worth the drive if only to be able to go through the pieces and choose what you want. Best part you are pretty close to Mt Rushmore and crazy horse monuments. Hope this helped Rob.

Now at least I’d have my expectations set for what to expect. It sounds like visiting Jason is more fun!

LOL Most of their actual tumbling rough is out back and downstairs - away from the outside bins and public scrutiny. A lot of their tumbling rough is pre-packaged in weighed bags and sitting on shelves downstairs. I'd be willing to bet Shawn knows exactly who you are...and would likely be willing to allow you access to the back room considering how much business you've brought his way...you know...VIP status.
