Nashville, Indiana is more than boutique shopping–take, for example, Brown County Rock Shop.

It’s not every small Indiana town that can boast a locale with such unique and unusual fossils and gems!

Although the gemstone mining operation at Copperhead Creek Gem Mine right next door (and owned by the same folks) will catch your eye (and is a blast), you will want to make sure you step inside and poke around this fun rock shop!

Shelves hold a variety of rocks in all shapes, sizes, and colors! It’s amazing how many different varieties of rocks can be found around the world.

Moroccan geodes with crystal formations hidden inside, peacock quartz, Mookaite hearts, Fluorite, Tiger’s Eyes, and Tourmaline are just a small sampling of the lovely rocks and minerals found inside this Brown County attraction!

But there’s more to be found at this Indiana rock shop!

The Brown County Rock Shop also holds a range of fossils! They have some very beautiful pieces that would make a great addition to any collection.

Really, it’s quite incredible what you will find inside this Brown County rock shop. Fossils millions of years old, shining stones, and a neighboring 50 foot water sluice for gemstone panning. Now, does that sound fun or what?
