We Love Our Rocks
Welcome to Rockhound Studio
every stone needs a home
we'll make it shine for the rest of time
send us your own and we'll polish
that stone


We uncover stones and their stories — see the trails and read their tails
Your Memories in Good Hands
3 years shaping stone. 34 years building something together. Rockhound Studio is a husband and wife operation out of Spokane Valley — every piece cut, polished, and finished by hand.

HOW IT WORKS

Your Stone. Your Find.
You found it on a trail, a beach, or a backroad. Test its hardness with a framing nail, snap 5 photos of all sides against a white or black background, in a well lit room, we email you and you mail it to us with the story of where you found it.

We Inspect. We Help you Design. We Shape and Shine
We inspect your stone, discuss the design with you, then hand-shape and polish it in our Spokane Valley studio. You get photos before anything is final.

The Reveal is Yours Forever
You pay return postage and your finished piece comes home. Don't want the scraps? We display them in our freeform collection — with your name and credit on the site.
