Timberlake Rose Rock Museum in Noble, Oklahoma

I recommend stopping at the Timberlake Rose Rock Museum in Noble, Oklahoma.  The prices are reasonable and the people are nice.  It is a quaint little shop and it is nice talking to the owners.  We were told that they go out and get their own rose rocks.  I found out when I got home that they have their own blog and web page.

The gift shop has many unique items and postcards.  I am glad we stopped there on our way down into Paul's Valley, Oklahoma.

We got to crack open our own geodes...very fun and exciting to see what was inside.
