Desoto Rock and Gift Shop

Desoto Rock & Gift Shop, located at 626 Central Avenue in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas, opened its doors in July 2012 in the historic DeSoto Hotel building. The shop specializes in over 200 mineral specimens including quartz crystals, agates, amethyst, and rose quartz, along with jewelry and artwork by local artisans. The business has expanded to fill most of the ground floor of the building and features an indoor water sluice for gem mining activities, making it a destination for both rock and mineral collectors and families seeking interactive experiences.
