C & M Rock Shop

Specialty Shops & Antiques · Traverse City, MI

Chuck and Mary started their rock shop in the 1980s after decades of collecting Petoskey stones along Lake Michigan's shoreline. What began as a retirement hobby turned into a Benzie County landmark where rockhounds and curious visitors gather to learn about Northern Michigan's geological treasures. The shop sits along popular hiking trails, making it a perfect stop for adventurers exploring the area's natural beauty. Chuck still shares stories about finding his first Leland blue stone, while Mary helps visitors identify their beach discoveries. Their passion for Michigan's unique geology transforms casual browsers into dedicated stone hunters.
