The Arkenstone, Www.iRocks.com

The Arkenstone, a purveyor of fine minerals and crystals, started when Dr. Robert Lavinsky fell in love with minerals when he attended his first mineral show at age 14. Over the last three decades, The Arkenstone has grown from a part-time hobby to the world's largest online mineral shop. In addition to selling fine mineral specimens online, The Arkenstone has a 10,000 square foot facility in Dallas, TX that contains our 4,000 square foot gallery, custom base-making lab, several photography studios, and staff offices. We also maintain a significant presence at the world's largest mineral shows and co-sponsor of The Dallas Mineral Collecting Symposium. In 2013, The Arkenstone opened another gallery in Shanghai, China, and we enjoy traveling to visit our growing customer base in Asia.
