Earth’s Hidden Treasures® is a mineral, fossil and meteorite business that began in 1994, in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It grew out of a passion to collect rocks, minerals and fossils - ‘hidden treasures’ - that nature has produced in an amazing array of formations, colors, shapes and sizes. When we moved to Illinois in 2002, our business came with us. We continuously seek out the most reasonably priced, quality specimens for our customers. We have over 1,000 specimens at each of the two antique malls (East State Antique Mall in Rockford & Volo Antique Mall in Volo) in northern Illinois. We participate annually as vendors in several Rock and Gem shows in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, and now offer our quality specimens for sale online. We have over 100,000 specimens, most priced under $50.
Earth's Hidden Treasures® is a family-owned mineral, fossil, and meteorite business that began in 1994. It grew out of a passion for collecting nature's masterpieces in the form of rocks, minerals, and fossils - 'hidden treasures' - produced in a fantastic array of formations, colors, shapes, and sizes. Initially, our rock and gem shop sold our specimens as one of the vendors at Rock, Gem & Mineral shows in Indiana & Ohio. When we moved to Illinois in 2002, our business came with us and in November 2021 we moved once again to eastern Tennessee.
After years of customers asking where they could purchase our merchandise between the Rock, Gem & Mineral shows, we decided to offer our merchandise online and ship all over the United States. We continuously seek out the most reasonably priced, quality specimens for our customers. We proudly support local rock & mineral clubs with our annual memberships and geology-related club and local school presentations.
We hope to add several shows within a 3 hour drive from Knoxville in the next few years. If you know of a good show that we should be a part of please let us know.
