Sample's Agates Gem & Minerals Shop

Great place to look for antiques and thrift store. More than just agates and gems. It is actually bigger than it looks, and there is a lot to look at. If you are thrifting I would add this place to your list to stop and shop at. The owner was very friendly and helpful also.

I always have to stop when I'm in the neighborhood. Great selection and prices. The adjoining shop of random thrift goods is also a plus. Both are great businesses.

Great prices, friendly staff, nice lay out, and so many rocks 😍

Awesome place, great staff! My 8yr old son recently became obsessed with rocks so we stopped by here to check it out. I thought they had a great selection and reasonable prices. The best part was how friendly and knowledgeable the staff was! We will be back for sure!

This is a great second hand store and they also have some amazing agates. I love going through their aisles and looking for things I need or gifts.

Neat little rock shop, funny enough we had to go to Duluth for an appointment for my son and had the hardest time trying to find a rock shop there online, and then trying to find somewhere to park, after being so unsuccessful we ended up coming to this one and it was far better and so much closer to home ❤ prices were great, staff was amazing and very patient and kind with my 2 boys (5 & 7) and they got some very cool rocks! Will definitely be back! Thank you!

Top notch all the way! So refreshing to do business with honest, hard working, kind and fair people! If the lake superior agates aren't reason enough to shop here, there are countless other rock, mineral, gem and crystal treasures at all price points. Highly recommend!!

Such a great, unexpected stop! Stopped for the thrift shop- stayed for the cool rocks. Had to cut my 7yo off but he is thrilled! The man working was so kind and knowledgeable.

Loved it. Great selection

Great selection with a very welcoming atmosphere. Personable staff and prices cant be touched based on my personal experience. Legitimate products all the way around. A business who has a passion for what they're doing, not just the almighty dollar!

It's an AGATE thing, you wouldn't understand 😂 If you do understand & love Lake Superior agates gems and minerals this is a new shop open last year in the Brainerd lales area. Alex Sample is well know in the agate collecting business to be fair, trusted & honest! If you are a long time collector or new & want to learn what rock hounding is all about or how to get your kids hooked on being out in nature this is a great place to stop & shop. Samples Agate Gems and Mineral Shop also offers a variety of fun t-shirts & home decor.

YES collecting (LSA) Lake Superior agates and other fossils and gems & treasurers, it's not just a Minnesota thing this may just open you and your family up to a new adventures & fun!

Sample's Agates has amazing quality agates. They are a small family run business and I enjoy doing business with them. I truly love everything that I have purchased from Sample's Agates.
