I'm a rock nut, but it took me years to try this store out, just across from Cave Man Kitchens and about two blocks north of the Kent exit off 167. They have loose polished rocks, jewelry, gem stones in really neat rotating racks that you can use to design your own jewelry. Outside they have larger hunks that I didn't much look at. It looks scary to find parking from West Valley Hwy but when you try it, there's plenty of room. Their web site http://www.jerrysrockandgem.com/
says they have a lot of stuff that I never noticed since I'm always looking for carved creatures, necklaces, and unusual stones which they have in quantity.
