History
Rocks and Gems was one of the original shops in Hobby City. It flourished as a Lapidary store in those early years and became well known as the spot for information and supplies for the local Rock Hound. As time passed jewelry was introduced to the store along with supplies for the jewelry hobbyist. In 1988 the store was purchased by it's current owner, David Burton. Still primarily a Lapidary store David set about to change the focus toward Fine Jewelry. Opal was introduced and the name changed to Burton's Gems and Opals. Today the store designs and manufactures its own fine jewelry. Gemstones and Opals are a specialty with the largest selection of different types of Opal one can find.
