Browse the Moab Rock Shop
Get lost in a massive outdoor and indoor collection of local agates, dinosaur bone fragments, and iridescent minerals from around the world.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for at least 60 to 90 minutes to fully explore the sprawling outdoor 'bone yard' and the dense indoor mineral displays.
- 2Wear closed-toe shoes if you plan to navigate the unpaved outdoor sections where sharp rock fragments and gravel are common.
- 3Bring a small reusable bag or backpack, as the shop encourages self-guided hunting through bins of raw specimens.
- 4Park directly in the gravel lot in front of the shop located on North Main Street, which accommodates most standard vehicles and RVs.
- 5Ask the staff about their current inventory of locally sourced Utah septarian nodules or coprolite for a truly regional souvenir.
- 6Budget extra time if you are a photographer, as the iridescent mineral displays and giant outdoor geodes offer unique macro photo opportunities.
