Hidden Gem Crystals started the way most rock collections do: with a kid who couldn't walk past a river bar without filling his pockets.
I'm Matthew. I spent years as a Seattle Local 86 ironworker, and I still run a construction business out of Sultan, Washington. The Cascade foothills are my backyard, and rockhounding the rivers around Gold Bar and Sultan never stopped being my favorite way to spend a day off.
Over time the collection outgrew the shelves. Now I hand-pick every piece in this shop, from local agates and jaspers to spheres, carvings, geodes and fossils from trusted sources around the world. I look at each one in person before it goes up for sale.
Most pieces are one of a kind, photographed on their own and weighed, so the piece in the photos is the piece you get. When I have several of the same item, the listing says so, shows the whole group, and tells you how I pick yours or lets you choose by number.
Thanks for supporting a small, local shop.
