Our story

A little wild.All Rebel.

If we sell it, we collected it.
If we cut it, we cut it ourselves.

Meet Steve & Lori

We had a problem. The best kind.

We’re Steve and Lori, a couple who fell hard for rockhounding after enough weekend desert trips to know we had a problem — in the best way. What started as a hobby turned into a full-time obsession with finding, cutting, and sharing stones that actually came from places we had walked ourselves.

Why we do it

Know where your stone came from.

We were tired of shops that couldn’t tell you where a stone came from. So we built Rebel Rockhounding around a simple idea: if we sell it, we collected it. If we cut it, we cut it ourselves. And if we post it, we know the story behind it.

If we sell it, we collected it.

From the field

Every piece has a field story.

The dust, the hike, the weather, the happy surprise when a rock opens up with color and pattern nobody expected. That’s the part we love most, and that’s the part we share with you.
