Paula's Rock Shop

Paula’s Rock Shop is a family-owned crystal and rock shop in downtown Bennington, Vermont, set in the town’s former bus station. When western Vermont’s main bus service ended in 2005, Paula and Rob turned their family business into Paula’s Weaving Workshop, and the rock shop grew alongside it.

Inside you’ll find crystals and minerals, tumbled and polished stones, wire-wrapped pendants, turquoise and silver jewelry, carvings and colourful gifts, along with the weaving workshop. Outside there’s a sculpture park of up-cycled creations by Paula and her friend Tom Longtin, and a private parking lot that makes it an easy stop downtown.

Visit at 126 Washington Avenue, Bennington, VT 05201, or call (802) 442-4808. The shop is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm and is closed Sunday and Monday.
