The Rock Shop on Adelaide Street is home to many semi precious stones. Some are for sale, but most of them are actually just on display. It’s more like a small museum than a shop. Any person with a minor interest in geology would like to go in here. They’ve got your unpolished and polished versions of most stones. The malachite and lapis lazuli are particularly enchanting. There’s a stone called ‘Ribbon Rock’ which while not sounding very scientific does represent the rock well. There’s rocks that have patterns that make one think of outer space and star dust. Then there’s the psychedelic ones. Trippy, star burst kind of stones of all sorts of colours.
The staff in store know their stones. They can explain to you why a particular rock will have red in the centre and then change into yellow, and then to green. They’ll blind you with their science. They spend most of their time selling rock ornaments and jewellery to people, but they are more than happy to talk rocks with anyone who is interested. If you’re like me, you’ll just go in to ogle the pretty colours and patterns in the rocks.
