Inside Styx, Stones, n' Bones in Yachats, Oregon

Downtown Yachats, Oregon Coast

The treasure hunt,
told as a shop.

Giant crystals you can sit on, minerals sourced by hand from Brazil and beyond, and fossils older than the coast itself. Drive out, pet the dog, and dig through it.

Most of what makes this shop worth the drive lives on Instagram: the gem-show hauls, the warehouse finds, the twenty seven thousand pound shipments from Brazil. This is where those stories come to stay.

Relationships you cannot rush

Most of what fills the shop comes from a family we partner with in Brazil, earned over years, plus the gem shows in Tucson and Denver, estate sales, and the occasional giant pulled from a local creek. Nothing here is ordered off a catalog.
