Moonlight Gemstones

We drove up and down the main drag in Marfa (Hwy 90) and noticed people at this store several times. We parked in the snow and went in where it was nice and warm. Beautiful minerals and great stuff in natural and polished forms.

Worth the trip to Marfa alone. I've been here every trip from houston. Huge rocks for a price per pound, and very affordable

Moonlight Gemstones is one of the best rock shops I've ever been in, and definitely one of the two best in the West Texas area. Paul Graybill, the owner, is kind and friendly and happy to answer questions. He has a great selection of local minerals as well as minerals and crystals from around the world--and he is very knowledgeable! There's no fake "aura quartz" here--these are the real deal. Paul also makes beautiful jewelry, and you can pick out a cabochon and have him set it for you. Be sure to check outside as he has huge flats of great rocks and minerals that won't fit in the store. He packs everything carefully for the trip home. Moonlight Gemstones is an absolute Must to visit every time we're in the area.

How does this jerk get such good reviews? In 2017 my wife and 2 girls went into his shop. I was the first one in, and the first thing I heard was "Do you belong to a cult?". He was unfriendly the whole time we were there. At one point, in the next room, I quietly told my daughters that I thought the price of what they were interested in was too high. The owner then told us rather loudly " If you don't like the prices you can leave". After we left my wife said that his rudeness and grumpyness may have been a response to the MAGA hat I was wearing.

Great rock shop, with both raw and polished stones. Paul was super knowledgeable, generous with his time, and not bothered by all our questions. We picked up some cool geodes, agates, rose quartz, and a fabulous chunk of rainbow fluorite.

Really cool store with a great selection. The kids loved it. The owner (I think his name was Paul) was very knowledgeable and helpful. You should definitely check it out when you're in Marfa.

Full disclosure: my husband is a nerd. He likes rock shops. A lot. Seven days in West Texas, and I think we visited five or six rock shops. This was the best. Not only did they have a store cat, but even I thought their rocks were interested (you don't know me, but this is unusual - usually I can't be bothered to look at rock shops). This is a great store. Stop in and then walk across the street for lunch at Food Shark (a food truck serving up great falafel and other Mediterranean food).

Found small cute crystals here when we first got into town. Wish I would of waited, don't get me wrong the crystals I purchased were beautiful but discovered were over priced after visiting another shop. Maybe they are more authentic, not sure.

This is a cute little shop! There's so much to look at and the owners are super nice and incredibly knowledgeable. He talked a bit with my boyfriend about some minerals. It had some expensive gifts, but also a few inexpensive trinkets that would make a good souvenir. For anyone into minerals and gems I recommend this place.

I first visited Moonlight Gemstones in early September 2024, when I visited Marfa on a work project. My son and I have returned twice since then. Moonlight offers a wide selection of items, including many different types of rocks and gems. Some items are in their natural state and others are polished or have been sculpted into figures. My son loves collecting gemstones and has enjoyed our visits. I have purchased something each visit and find their customer service to be excellent and their prices are highly competitive. I am now a regular customer and highly recommend a visit particularly for those with an interest in gems.
