Title
Rocks and Minerals at Rockpick Legend Co., Salt Lake City & Internet Rock Shop
Description
Rockpick Legend Co. started as Lewis Rock Shop in 1964. It was owned and operated by Mr. David Lewis, fondly called Old Man Lewis. Eventually he sold it to his son, who sold it to Rick and Anita Dalrymple. Rick started shopping at Lewis Rock Shop in 6th grade while trying to complete a school assignment. Old Man Lewis took him (as well as many other children) under his wing, and turned them into true blue mineral collectors. When Rick had the chance to buy Lewis Rock Shop in 1995, he jumped at it. This was a dream come true.
Over the years "Lewis Rock Shop" didn't seem like a fitting name, since there was no longer an Old Man Lewis. We started to modernize to computers, electronic scales, UPS shipping and more. Eventually the name Rockpick Legend Co. was chosen, because on a map the "rockpick" symbol in the legend means mine or TREASURE! The name also conjures thoughts of stories and legends that old miners share to stir up the imagination toward treasure hunting. So Rockpick Legend Co. it became.
Rockpick Legend Co. is truly a family owned and operated business. Rick is in the store five to six days a week. Adrienne, the oldest "child" of the family is here full-time, and you may find some of the other children doing various jobs around the shop.
