Mobile Gem Mining Events: Adventures for Rockhounds

10/05/2026

🦖💎 We’re looking for some extra help in Katy at the Katy Rock Shop! We are looking for someone who is a energetic people person and, who likes rocks or fossils. While interest in rocks is required, there is no experience necessary. The role is to operate our animatronic dinosaurs, sluice mining machine, and geode cracking station. We are doing on the job training this Saturday October 10th. If you can lift above 50lbs and are interested or know someone who would be a great fit, please send us a DM for details, hours, and pay. 🪨✨

We’re all ready to go for the Last Day of School at Juan Seguin elementary in Fort Bend County Texas!

We gave the principal and staff part of the Rock Cycle class experience. We did 50 kids every 45 minutes for all of 5th grade! That included theory, observation, and then application of skills with custom mining ore bags focused on the Rock Cycle and Fossils!

Another local community opened Saturday in Katy, TX! Why were we there you ask???

A local event planner thought - what is something all ages enjoy, nature-based and authentically educational?

That unique Mobile gem mining activity from Katy Rock Shop!

Her guests went home with bags full of rocks and the experience of how to identify them and a good feeling about the neighborhood!
