MUST SEE TO BELIEVE.' Description ONE OF THE PREMIER ROCK SHOPS IN THE COUNTRY IS FOR SALE: Your chance to own an institution. Owner will carry 50% secured by the real estate. Located in Fallon, NV this has been a rock shop since 1951 and Wally Marks spent the last 30 years amassing one of the largest collections of lapidary materials in the country. He expanded from a full service old school rock shop into gifts, fossils, native crafts, crystals, specimans and jewelry. The 1.5 acres of Commercial real estate has 172' of prime frontage on Hwy 50/alt 95A and includes the store, a house, large 3 bay garage/work shop, storage building, semi trailer, sea/land container and several out buildings. BUSINESS AND REAL ESTATE ADVERTISED LOCALLY SO AUCTION IS SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION FOR A LOCAL SALE. This is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to buy a semi retirement that you'll love doing. An easy business to operate, we've been running it since November with almost no rock or lapidary knowledge. The hard part of getting it organized after Wally passed so that someone with limited (almost zero) knowledge of lapidary can easily operate the business has been done. We can make arrangements with buyers to assist in the transition. Business includes the following: REAL ESTATE: 1.5 acres with 172' highway frontage as described above. EQUIPMENT: Huge inventory of new and used lapidary equipment. We are Dealers for Barranca Diamond, Covington, Diamond Pacific, Lortone and others.
