Crystal River Gemsspecializes in geodes, crystals, agates, and other natural gifts. The store is located in Fifth Avenue Place, at the corner of Fifth and Liberty avenues in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh.
Another place of interest to geode enthusiasts is the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The museum's Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems contains over 1300 specimens of minerals, gems, ores, and metals. The current exhibit hall, which opened in 1980, was expanded and remodeled from 2006-2007.
Pittsburgh-area geode enthusiasts may also be interested in the Monongahela Rockhounds, a mineral, fossil, and lapidary club. Field trips to collect specimens at quarries or other collecting sites are arranged two to three times a year, and there is an annual gem, mineral, and fossil show in April. Members receive the monthly newsletter Monongahela Rockhound News, and meetings are held in the Munhall Borough Building in Homestead, just outside Pittsburgh.
