What it is

Fred’s Rock Shop is a rock and lapidary shop in Putney, Vermont, with its own online store at fredsrockshop.com. Its About page says it offers “hundreds of varieties in stock, nearly all tumbled right here on Pine Banks Road,” and that Fred runs a lapidary workshop with a Highland Park 12” slab saw, a Lortone 6” trim saw, a 6” CabKing cabbing machine and rotary and vibratory tumblers. Online sales began in 2020.

Who it’s for

Rock tumblers, collectors and jewelry makers who want polished stones, crystals, slabs and handmade jewelry shipped in the lower 48 states, and New England visitors who can stop by on Saturdays.
