    In this video, we wake up early and head to my favorite place , The Rock Shed in Keystone, South Dakota, the best rock shop you will ever find! We have gone to rock shops across the entire country, all the way from Utah to Florida, and I have NEVER come across another rock shop with a better selection or better pricing. Their specimens are always EXTREMELY high quality, and they are ALWAYS priced extremely fair, and their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! At my shop, I sell local rocks, fossils, rock and wood carvings, and jewelry, and I try to sell only stuff that I collect myself, but for things that i cannot find myself(tiger eye, labradorite, etc.), I always go to the Rock Shed! I cannot physically recommend this place more! If you are ever in the Black Hills or near Keystone, SD and are even remotely into rocks and fossils, this shop is an absolute must!

    We went by here when we went to south Dakota a couple weeks ago. I really wish we stopped but I guarantee we will be going back. I absolutely love south Dakota.

    I can order from Shawn at the Rock Shed on Wednesday and have it here in Texas on Friday. Great prices and great service. I'm new to this hobby and in a month have spent a thousand dollars already. The Rebel 17 tumbler that I purchased is such a great unit.

    Thanks for this video. I think I was more excited to visit the Rock Shed than Mt Rushmore. My wife even forgave me for spending so much when she saw the Mexican Lace Agate slabbed out. I would like to see a video on working the fossil concretion rocks. Thanks once again.

    Omg, we did indeed visit The Rock Shed while driving to Mount Rushmore, and it was all that you said it would be! Unfortunately, it was a very cold and rainy day so we hardly spent time outside to look at all the rock in the miner's bin, but we did find lots of rocks inside the warm store, and had to ship it home to Honolulu, as we couldn't hand carry anymore gems! Thank you, Theo, for this awesome tip!

    I hit the Rock Shed up at least 3 times a year. About 25 years ago, my first time there I bought 50 pounds of Tee Pee Canyon agate. Went back a couple months later and ended up spending $1500. They have the best prices on tumbling grit.

  • @EDLaw-wo5it

    Theo, I am so glad you showed this. They have a fantastic looking starter cab machine and all the supplies I use. I will put in a good word for you when I call them. I may be able to stop on my trip back home from LV Green river and Montana Havagudun bud and stay safe.

    Aloha from Honolulu! My boyfriend and I will be visiting South Dakota in a few days to hike their National Parks and Black Hills and I came across your video on Rock Shed. We will definitely stop there as we just discovered crystals, rocks, minerals and fossils, and the joy they bring to our lives! Mahalo for this awesome video, Theo!! 👍🏻👍🏻

    • @TheoKellison
      @TheoKellison  4 роки тому

      That's funny that you mention your tumbler; I have a video coming out next week on getting the best result from tumbling Stones! That info may be of use to you!😊 and definitely check out the Rock shed for some tumbling rough; they have some absolutely wonderful variety and pricing on pre-sized and weighed bags specifically for tumbling!😊

  • @paulcarder8032
    @paulcarder8032 4 роки тому +2

    I haven't been there yet, but I order almost all my tumbling and polishing supplies from The Rock She'd. My Lot-O and Lortone QT66. Lots of tumbling stone. Some big pieces of Mexican Crazy Lace that sliced up beautifully! If I go to the Black Hills someday, The Rock She'd #1, Mount Rushmore #2! Thanks for this mouthwatering video Theo!

    • @TheoKellison
      @TheoKellison  4 роки тому

      They have some absolutely wonderful material for cutting and tumbling! Their Mexican lace agate is some phenomenal stuff for cabbing! And that definitely won't be hard to do; the Rock shed is only three miles away from mount Rushmore! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

    Crazy I go to the black hills almost every year and I’ve never seen this rock shop before. Looks like they have some good stuff. If you ever are in Custer, I’d recommend going to Ken’s Minerals. I don’t know how the prices compare to this but they seem reasonable to me and they also have an incredible collection of museum quality specimens.

    Can you tell me if you know of any places to stop (from MPLS driving West to the Black Hills) that would have good Geode hunting? I would love to find some along the way. I’m new to rock hunting so keeping it simple for now. 😊 Thank you!

      I am not sure; I am always coming from the opposite direction (the drive from Montana is about 6 hours). It is definitely worth the drive though!😊

    I'm sure ur no stranger to people making rude comments from time to time .I hope this doesn't come across to bad, but u unconsciously laugh a very fake laugh often , it is odd , we all have our quirks im no different, maybe its a nervous reaction to performing on camera ,maybe u do it all the time ,,whatever 5he reason is I don't know, but it makes u sound like squirrly unsure Waco. The people that care about u won't tell u , I think it would help u Socially on and off camera to stop , be confident, u seem like a nice guy ,and I enjoy ur channel , hope this helps more than hurts , keep up the great work otherwise ur a talented carver ,sorry 4 being rude ttyl
