Large estate collections may be considered. If you meet this description, please email us photos or set up an appointment to meet with a manager.

Can you identify my stone for me?

We can do our best! Please make an appointment if you plan on coming during the weekend, or if you have a lot you’d like identified. Alternatively, you could send us photos via Facebook or email.

Can you provide more information about the stone I purchased?

The names of your rocks, minerals, fossils, and jewelry will be printed on the receipt. We can also include additional information such as country of origin. By request, we have small handouts with some basic information about each stone. To learn more about the geology and physical properties of each stone, we recommend Mindat.

Are your stones natural?

The vast majority of rocks, minerals, and fossils offered by Four Directions are natural, however we do sell a handful of pieces that have been altered. Notable examples would be aura quartz (natural quartz with an electroplating treatment), bismuth crystals (a natural metal, melted and crystallized in a lab), opalite (essentially just glass), heat-treated citrine (amethyst that was baked until its color changes to yellow), and dyed-agate.

Do you sell gold jewelry?

Not currently. The majority of our jewelry is semi-precious stones set in sterling silver. We also have more affordable pieces that are made with just stone (no metal).
