If you’ve spent some time in Minnesota, you know that our beautiful state is home to a beautiful gemstone that can be found along railroad tracks, in rock piles, and on northern lakeshores. Hunting these gemstones – Lake Superior agates, specifically – is a fun pastime for many. But it can be difficult and frustrating to find the most beautiful specimens. That’s where Beaver Bay Agate Shop comes in. This northern Minnesota shop is filled with gorgeous polished agates to display, wear, and more. Take a look:
Beaver Bay Agate Shop is a small store in the little town of Beaver Bay on Minnesota's North Shore. It looks like a run-of-the-mill shop on the outside. But the inside is full of treasure.
Besides agates, Beaver Bay Agate Shop has plenty of other fascinating natural finds. Beautiful amethyst and colorful labradorite are just a few of the offerings here.
There are small pieces that you can purchase to take home. But there are also huge, not-for-sale items to admire. This is a store and museum all in one!
All in all, this fascinating store is a wonderful place to scoop up a gorgeous Minnesota gemstone. It’s also a great spot to start a collection of other natural treasures from around the world!
Beaver Bay Agate Shop is open Monday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer and Thursday-Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the winter. For more information about the shop, check out their website and Facebook page.
