Shopping Spree at the ROCK SHED! Shop & Slab Amazing Labradorite, Tiger Eye, Agates, & SO MUCH More!

In this one, we go to one of my favorite places on the planet: The Rock Shed in Keystone, South Dakota! I stumbled upon this amazing shop almost a decade ago, and since then it has maintained its spot as my number one Favorite rock shop! Ran by fantastic people who are always so kind, prices that are so much more than just fair, and quality that is nearly unmatched, the Rock Shed is truly one of a kind! We may have gone rockhounding on our trip through the Black Hills, but making a stop to THIS place was the Primary purpose for driving 6 hours to South Dakota. I am always blown away by the jewelry quality of all of their stones, but their labradorite in particular is on another level. Yes there are the normal blues, oranges, and gold tones, but also greens, teals, lavenders, reds, pinks, and by far my favorite and the least common of all labradorite colors, Royal Purple!!!!! After our shopping spree we head back to the shop and cut a bunch of our rocks, revealing some outstanding colors hiding in our labradorite! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!
I seriously can not recommend this place highly enough. If you ever find yourself in the Black Hills of South Dakota, ABSOLUTELY make a visit over to The Rock Shed! If you can't make it in person however, check out their website down below! THE number one shop I've found for tumbling supplies and equipment, as well as lapidary equipment, saw blades, rocks of all sizes and varieties, top notch fossils, polished specimens, and so much more. I'd like to clarify that they have certainly not paid me or even asked me to promote them; I love their products and service so much that I do it from my own desire to whenever possible!

I am running a booth at the Billings Gem and Mineral Show at the Billings Hotel & Convention Center August 3rd-6th, and am doing a Meet and Greet August 4th from 11:30 a.m.- 12:30! Here is a link to the event page; even if you don't think you can make it in person, selecting "interested" on the event page is a massive help for me that is greatly appreciated! I hope to see all of you there, and Rock on!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: When I die, I plan to do a "fly by" to the Rock Shed on my way to heaven!!! Love those cutting vids!!!

[@graemero5532]

The dark blue sodalite was great

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Got to love the rock shed! It's a rockrounds heaven! Such gorgeous slabs! 😊

[@michaelvandyke6715]

Drooling drooling drooling!!!

[@wyomingadventures]

I absolutely love the Rock Shed. Definitely my favorite rock store.

[@patriciamckean4186]

The rock shed is unbelievable. Bucket list!

[@MrTurtleMontana]

I love the Rock Shed! I stopped there when I drove through the area last February. It was so cold outside that I was only able to tolerate frozen fingers, toes, and nose for about an hour... yet I still managed to spend $333.33! I also purchased some labradorite, and I seen can confirm how absolutely amazing it is!

[@maryzefo3801]

Wow I have never seen so many different colors of labradorite I would say that stone is in my top three favorites.... Thanks for showing us Theo

[@thisisme1999]

I was gob smacked when I saw that bin of Tiger-eye!

[@jennifershipp2599]

You are going to have some beautiful things at the Rock show.

[@treeismee6062]

Dude.....yeah...The Rock Shed!!

[@largent45]

Wow! Those slabs of labradorite were just phenomenal! And the tigers eye too wow! Suck beautiful rocks and you slabbed them perfectly! Just wow! It was just a giddy surprise, to see the slabs as you lifted then up! And the purple labradorite is my absolute favorite and those are just amazing! What an awesome amount of rock you got at the rock shed, but more than that, the quality is unbelievable! So good! Thank you Theo, for the outing and the cutting and i cant wait to see what you have left, after the show!

[@MrTurtleMontana]

I totally agree with you-The Rock Shed has the BEST rough material! I was just there at the beginning of August and filled up three of their little shopping baskets!

[@debramoore6318]

Labradorite is my favorite stone. I'm jealous 😂

[@williamscoggin1509]

That is some wildly beautiful Stone. 👍🏻

[@bunk9991]

I am a huge fan of labradorite! I am bummed that they are sold out of it on the website. That is the most colorful labradorite I have ever seen this side of spectrolite! DAMN! Well at least I know the Rockshed exists and will keep my eye out for that! Thanks Theo!

[@michellestenton6430]

The Rock Shed is on my bucket list! I’d be like a fat kid in a one cent candy store!! Everything you bought is amazing but that Labradorite….freakin gorgeous….I’m a sucker for purple too. Thanks so much Theo for taking us along on this fantastic buying adventure. Cannot wait to see your wizardry in what you create.

[@jimellis936]

Thanks Theo, I've been looking forward to you cutting Labradorite.

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Oh my word, these slabs are so GORGEOUS!!Labradorite, tigers eye( never saw the blue) ! Love the intensity of blue on the sodalite What a fantastic rock store! I’d go crazy there😆 Awesome video Theo!

[@dianequince8761]

Wow! Those were absolutely gorgeous! I'm still new at tumbling but if I knew how and had the equipment, I would definitely do that! Great finds and wish you good luck at the show 👍👍😊😃

[@Jamey-to4sn]

Great video. Next time linger and lets see more of what they have. Like agates. I can only imagine how much more money i pay not knowing about places like that. New life goal=must visit the rock shed for like 10 hours 😊

[@JulesTools23]

That was really fun, and really satisfying to see how you went about cutting slab’s, especially w/labradorite. Such a fave, always wondered about the cutting angle decision process. Ty for taking me to The Shed and back to the shop!

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

The Rock shed ROCKS 😊

[@RockHoundChic]

I'm new to rock hounding and polishing... You have solidified my decision that my next rock purchase will be from the rock shed!

[@darlabuchmeier8139]

Agree. Labardorite is one of my favorites

[@Rocktwister]

Wow you hit the jackpot! That sodalite made me squeal! So pretty!

[@colleenlinke4208]

That Sodalite is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@donnalantz7981]

OMG just such stunning colors. I have got to make it out there one of these days. Can't wait to see what you make from some of these amazing rocks.

[@anniegironne8444]

Can't wait what you do with those. The sodalite looks amazing.

[@jerlynneallison6361]

That place looks AWESOME!!!! I would love to go there but alas, I am old and broke!! 😢 Everything was amazing! 👍😁😉🥰

[@deniseveiw7992]

I have a graduation open house I'm ready to leave for but, can't stop watching this video. Ugh I'll have to come back to it later.

[@deniseview4253]

I just got back from the open house and watched the rest of this video. Ohhh my goodness! Labradorite, sodalits and all the rest that you sliced are breathtaking.

[@soul_adventurist]

Dude! That place is like what all my rock dreams are made of!❤❤❤❤

[@Jamey-to4sn]

Omg the same

[@maryzefo3801]

Well you all have heard the comment if I won the lottery I would find a small cabin close to this build a bigger building for all my lapidary supplies and polish my little heart out oh that would be fun to carve some angel light I think that' s what you called it because it was so soft..... Well I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up I'm 70 now so I'd be happy in that little cabin with all my rocks and first I got to play the lotto though.... One thing I love though is how much you both enjoy being together and plan and picking up those rocks that's the best part...

[@michaelbearss371]

Thanks for sharing...now I have new rocks id like to get!

[@whackidoodle]

Was just there a couple weeks ago and even though we struck out on finding Montana agates ourselves because the Yellowstone River was too high, the Rock Shed had what we wanted!

[@virginiarocks]

Wow the labradorite looks like nebulas!

[@taleandclawrock2606]

Completely stunning slabs!!!

[@yolnow4ever515]

Wow! So many beautiful labradorite, they are mesmerizing! I would like to ask you if you sometime cut or grind some of the slab edges, especially the ones at the top of the best viewing angles? I'm asking because labradorites are formed with multiple layers from clear, colored, smokey and some more opaque ones. And as with any stone, it needs light to reveal its beauty. But if the edges are opaque it leaves only the light hitting the cut slab portion to reveal the colors... And if you happen to cut through a smokey layer, the light doesn't get to reach all the layers and limits the possible viewing angles the colors get to be seen... Because when the light gets through some clear side angles, it's the hole piece interior that gets lit which allows many internal layers that formed with a different angle to shine and reflect as well! But you've probably done it with other stones in previous videos that I haven't had a chance to see yet. It's the first time your video gets suggested to me 😊 And this rock shed place is a stone cutter paradise! Enjoy them all! Thanks!

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

All of the Rocks you have chosen where destined / preordained / just for you. MANY BLESSINGS UPON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Maybe one day we will become as half as good as you are Picking Rocks, Gems and Minerals. You are very very very Talented /Skillful, and your creative designs are stunning. Du to our ♿ ♿ Disabilities, that is about the best way for us to Rockhound- Purchase online and from You The Tubers. We do Rockhound-but just around our neighborhood and where can trek with our electric wheelchairs. We have to be very cautious due to OUR 47yr old SON being a Tetraplegic.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: My heart is with y'all! There are so many ways to celebrate rocks these days!

[@MrRyan-fd9rd]

Tiger Eye, awesome stuff, just freaking awesome. I want to get a quality bracelet.

[@rhondatimberlake300]

Thanks for the videos, Theo :-)

[@steveegbert7429]

The Rock Shed makes me drool just watching this! Thanks for taking us along Theo! Question, if you could only afford one, would you get a flat lap or a slant cabber, assuming both are the same size?

[@Rocktwister]

Gosh I gotta get to the Rick shed! Great video! I really appreciate the shop and cut in the same video! Great t!

[@mikestahl3322]

Awesome thanks for the video I'm learning every day

[@sandmaker]

Good rocks. It looks like a neat place. Excellent cuts on the tiger eye and the labradorite. Keep the fun coming and the rocks shining. Have fun you two. 😊 😷⚒

[@patrickbeaton6697]

niiiiiiiiiiice, enjoyed the vid Theo

[@HighPriestessAngelique]

These are so gorgeous!!! Wow I’m impressed 🤩

[@chrisbgifford7387]

Love the Sodalite!

[@kenthoskinson4158]

Im gonna be there in a month, thanks so much for this video, I am so excited now.

[@janehelbert7551]

I love that place!

[@grandparocky]

Great Video thank you so much/ Love your content!

[@Rockin_in_Kentucky]

Wow amazing slabs. If you're ever in Kentucky you should check out Big Mike's rock shop in Cave City, it's pretty awesome. Thank you for the video.

[@keithcunningham7925]

Just fricken amazing I have a huge labradorite with awesome flash no way of cutting it so I might just polish the hole thing and see how that turns out great video as always the rock shed rocks

[@juliadagnall7103]

12:40 it looks like streaky bacon 😂❤

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

As a Kid i have always liked TIGERS EYE!!! Now that I am way older, and seeing your slabs of Blue AND Gold Tiger Eye is Absolutely a Beautiful Creation as well as them Other Gems you have Slabbed. I wonder how they will choose for us slabs should we order. How is the Richardsons Ranch in Oregon compared to the Rock Shed, due to our fix income=BUDGET!

[@cynergy4]

Stunning finds! Can't wait to see what magic you create with them

[@t.repadventures45]

Wow! I would go broke if I went to the store instead of just online.

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

Awesome.... used to go there as a kid

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

The labradorite reminds me of the northern lights

[@adiahull3264]

i miss my tumbled labradorite its my favorite

[@christinewalley6829]

Such beautiful pieces today. I can't wait to see more ❤ I think the dark blue sodalite was my favorite. Especially since my fave colors are blue and purple.

[@user-zc8mk7mm7w]

Tiger's Eye fun fact! It's asbestos.

[@scottshepherd7927]

Dude. If you want to check out a killer rock shop, make your way to Wisconsin and check out The Gem Shop in Cedarburg. It's local for me. :) And while you're at it you could do some hunting on Lake Michigan. You can't go wrong. The rock shed looks amazing too!! I'm, telling you though, get to Wisconsin, you won't regret it.

[@justjulee9135]

I won't be able to come to the rock and mineral show. Will there be items for sale online while you are there? Or only on your Etsy shop afterwards if everything doesn't sell? You got some gorgeous rocks from the Rock Shed!

[@sarahnelson7891]

If you think that place is awesome, you should go to the rock shop in Cave Junction Oregon. It will blow your mind, buddy. P.s. I'm saving for a trip to Billings. Do you ever go adventuring with your viewers? Cuz, that would be fantastical

[@lindamast7258]

The labradorite/spectrolite that you got at The Rock Shed, Where was it found? In the midwest?

[@annepickering8966]

When u cut tiger eye, is it best to cut with the grain or against?

[@geraldinesera8915]

What do you do with all these gorgeous slabs/cuts?

[@juliaalyea9681]

What town is that in..

[@Cherrycola14]

15:20 Did you see the lady in the rock

[@kathypaaaina3953]

Stop buying from Ebay and buy from shops like this. The photography manipulation done by most Ebay sellers (not all) is getting ridiculous.
