    I've been to the Hills many, many, many times. We love rock shops. There are a dozen or so in the Hills. This one perpetually takes the cake in terms of staff friendliness, location, and selection. They have an indoor and outdoor section. Indoor has the prettier and polished stones, outdoor has the bins where you can pick through and weigh what you want. See more..
