About Us

Driven by Passion
At Old Miners Outpost, we are driven by a deep passion for rockhounding, lapidary work, and the natural beauty of rocks and gems. Growing up in Northern Wisconsin, near the majestic Great Lakes, we spent countless hours exploring the land, uncovering hidden treasures beneath the soil and along the shores.

Lifelong Fascination
From the captivating glow of fluorescent sodalite Yooperstones to the striking formations of Lake Superior agates, fossils, and a variety of other remarkable stones, we have always been enchanted by the wonders of the earth. This lifelong fascination with tumbling, polishing, and shaping raw stones into brilliant, polished gems has evolved into a mission—to share these incredible finds with fellow enthusiasts.

Providing Inspiration
Whether you are a seasoned rockhound or just beginning your journey, Old Miners Outpost is here to inspire and provide unique, hand-selected specimens, tools, and expertise. Our love for the art of lapidary fuels every piece we create, ensuring that each stone tells a story and carries a connection to the land from which it was discovered.
