Paul made this incredible bolo tie with my resin scorpion. It was so fun to collaborate with a master craftsman. He made this in just two days knowing I had to return to Fort Worth.Excellent service, impeccable quality. Highly recommend. Thanks again, Paul!

A great rock and gem shop. The proprietor is friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are very good. Always worth a stop when in Marfa.

Great shop! Very knowledgeable! Huge selection of stones! They made this bracelet for me the same day I stopped in.

Loved the service! The owner was very kind and took the time to educate us about some of the stones we were interested in and any other questions we had about their business. I recommend visiting and checking them out!

I cannot comment enough on how good they are. Incredibly nice and helpful, beautiful work at an amazingly affordable price, and done so quickly! I live in Houston and now plan on driving through Marfa just to stop and get more from them anytime I head west.

We had the best experience handpicking items for our wedding! We picked the stones and the items were handmade and shipped to us - we love them & got many compliments! In the photos: Custom Bolo Tie and Bracelet for our wedding day. Thank you!!!

Nice displays, all labeled and priced. Kids were able to get really cool souvenirs for $10-20! Our purchases were all nicely packaged in individual boxes too.

Please ignore the others reviewer's review, I looked into her history and she has had a past of lying in reviews... This is the best rock shop I have ever been to, great selection, friendly staff, low prices. The man that helped was very knowledgeable about all of the minerals and clearly really cared about his business. If you're visiting Marfa, or driving through, I definitely suggest stopping by.

I met with the shop owner on my visit, and he was extremely helpful in finding the rough minerals I was looking for.The selection is surprisingly decent, and the crates of local agate he keeps outside are definitely worth digging through! Some of the most spectacular agate I've cut came from those crates!Once I had chosen enough agate to fill a bucket, I asked about spectrolite, African amethyst, chrysocolla, and malachite. He brought out some beautiful uncut minerals to choose from, and they have all polished up beautifully. I've already sold most of the material I found there at a good profit.If you know what you're looking for, this place is a treasure trove! I will definitely be back!

Granddaughter and I stopped here on our trek of west Texas. The guys in the shop are really friendly and knowledgeable and gave the granddaughter enough information to pick out her geodes. A good time if you're into rocks!

I went here a few months ago with my girlfriend. Thankfully since we’re from the east coast we don’t even have the option to return back. The man working that day was rude to us from the start and it seemed to have gotten worse when he realized we weren’t spending much money. I watched him throw one of her stones at her and off the counter while she was checking out, then followed by him making a comment about not making much money that day! Even with any question we had we never really received a solid answer so I’m confused why other reviewers say he’s so knowledgeable. I am very frustrated to see someone saying to ignore her review and that it is a lie because who would lie about that? How would anyone even come up with that if it weren’t true? The selection here was average. I suggest anywhere else in the area. Maybe the good reviews are from people who bought more from him and that’s why they had such a positive experience! Would give 0 stars if it were an option from how we were treated, that is not how you treat your customers!

Enjoyed my time looking at rocks and such where they had an extensive selection and fine prices. They polish and carve on site where I peaked in on the show. Purchased some silver rings and fossils.

Great selection of rocks and minerals. From exquisite jewelry pieces to grade b agate for $2/lb out back. The owner is helpful, experienced, and will answer all your questions. I wish I lived closer.

this place had a decent selection of crystals but the main reason for my one star rating is because of the poor customer service I received from an older man working. when my boyfriend and I arrived at the shop we tried greeting him 3 times asking how he’s doing and finally he answers with “fine”. the reason I look for crystals is because I do wire wrapping so usually I am looking for smaller stones. he was clearly angry i wasn’t spending much money because when I went to check out with 3 stones he weighed up two of them saying loudly “a dollar” then throwing the stone at me, second one “a dollar” then throws that stone completely off of the counter... it looked intentional. the total only came to $2.50 and he says in response to that with an annoyed tone, “looks like i’m not working hard for my money today!”. I still tried being polite to the man despite his CLEAR rudeness saying thank you and asking what type of stone one of them were and he says “oh I don’t know tigers eye or something”, being very quick about it and not making eye contact, making it obvious he didn’t care. on our way out we tried saying thank you anyways and he responds with “K”. my boyfriend was looking at their selection of sapphire but I convinced him he should wait because honestly, I don’t think someone who treats their customers so poorly deserves our money!EDIT: Please ignore the review stating this is a lie. I would NOT lie in a review nor have I lied in reviews in the past!!! I wrote this out simply because of how angry i felt leaving this place, it still makes me angry to this day to think about. I feel very strongly about the way I was treated this day and I stand by it. This review along with my others are 100% accurate. How could I make this up!? I will NEVER return to this place after he threw my stones off the counter and complained about me not spending much. Not to mention they don’t even have a great selection and i’ve been to much better shops!

This is a great rock shop that has tons of West Texas agate and specimens from all over. You can get polished display pieces here or rough material to tumble or cut on your own. I could spend hours here.

Great jewelry and design shop. Paul and his sons Ben are Great to work with. Small, unassuming shop, but full of charm and character. Beautiful items.

NOT a pleasant experience. My wife was insulted (I think it was by the owner) so bad that she was in tears on the way home. The only thing she did was to wear a tee shirt supporting the president of our great country. We will not go back to Moonlight Gemstones.

Awesome local shop selling gems and minerals. Owner and his son make some beautiful jewelry using gemstone that's also for sale. Very knowledgeable about local and national geology.

Clearly Moonlight has early pickings of crystals from nearby quarries. But even more exciting are the unique and rare rocks from across the planet. One of a kind crystals are everywhere in this small shop. I will be returning for a lace agate slice from Africa asap!

Love this place. Feeding my rock addition. Left with a bag o rocks. A small bag...Loved talking about them and where they are from. I try to be modest in collecting and displaying

I bought 3 crystals from the local area!! I usually won’t buy crystals unless it’s something found in the area because it’s more special. The owner gave me a deal because I bought a few. He also was making jewelry as I was perusing the gems.

We happened upon Moonlight after a Big Bend trip in 2015 & got a beautiful turquoise ring that I love! Wonderful value and craftsmanship.

I had a great experience at this place today. I highly recommend you check it out when you’re in town, even if you’re not that interested in gemstones. There is a lot to look at.

My favorite shop in Texas for gemstones, agate and fossils. Best prices I have ever seen with a huge inventory.
