The Rock Haven


Discover the Geological Marvels of Root’s Rock Haven


Our Source: A Rich Tapestry of Earth's History


At **The Rock Haven**, we take pride in curating exceptional rocks and minerals that tell a captivating story—one that spans millions of years. Here's why our collection is truly extraordinary:


1. **Geological Wonders Abound**:

- Our rocks hail from a region teeming with geological wonders. Nestled amidst rolling hills of the Northern Cascade Mountains and ancient formations, our source area is a treasure trove of natural history.

- **Gold, Silver, and Nickel Mines**: Less than three miles away, you'll find active and historic gold, silver, and nickel mines. These mineral-rich veins have shaped the landscape and contributed to the unique composition of our rocks.


2. **The Legacy of Early Surveys**:

- Back in the early 1900s, geologists conducted a major survey in our vicinity. Their findings revealed the intricate geological layers that make up the bedrock beneath our feet.

- Our rocks bear witness to this legacy—a testament to the meticulous work of those early scientists.


3. -A Riverbed Frozen in Time**:

- Millions of years ago, a river flowed through what is now our property. Its banks held treasures—pebbles, stones, and boulders.

- These rocks spent eons tumbling in the river's currents, their edges smoothed by water's patient touch.


4. **The Low Spot: A Gathering Place for Rocks**:

- Our property sits in a known low spot—an area where sediments, minerals, and boulders naturally accumulate.

- Over eons, everything from pebbles to massive boulders has been pushed downstream, settling here. The river's legacy lives on in our collection.


5. **Nature's Tumbler: A Timeless Journey**:

- Our rocks have spent an eternity in Nature's Tumbler—the ceaseless forces of wind, water, and time.

- The result? Smooth, polished surfaces that reveal the hidden beauty within. No wonder they need little additional tumbling!


6. **Glacial Gifts and Immense Boulders**:

- Glaciers, too, left their mark. During the last ice age, colossal ice sheets carried rocks from distant lands.

- Our property now hosts over ten massive boulders—silent witnesses to the ice's relentless advance and retreat.


7. **Ancient Volcanic Activity**:

- Our source area lies within the remnants of ancient volcanic activity. Imagine fiery eruptions, molten lava, and the birth of new land.

- These volcanic forces shaped the landscape, leaving behind a legacy of rocks infused with energy from deep within the Earth.


8. **End of the Ridge Line**:

- We're perched near the end of a rugged ridge line—a vantage point where the forces of nature collide.

- The rocks here have weathered storms, witnessed sunrises, and absorbed the very essence of this dramatic terrain.


9. **Earth's Mantle Breakthrough**:

- Few places on Earth can claim what we can: a glimpse into the Earth's mantle. Beneath the crust lies a molten realm of unimaginable heat and pressure.

- Our rocks, once part of this fiery underworld, now rest in your hands. They bridge the gap between the surface and the depths below.


10. **San Juan Fault Line Proximity**:

- The San Juan Fault Line runs nearby—a geological boundary where tectonic plates meet and shift.

- Our rocks bear the scars of these movements, their fractures and patterns echoing the seismic history of our region.
