Our Story

Rocksbury Place was founded on a family passion for discovery and a mission to inspire curiosity through authentic meteorites, crystals, fossils, and STEM education. What began as a family business has grown into a trusted source for real scientific specimens that encourage exploration, hands-on learning, and a lifelong appreciation for Earth and space science.

Inspired by collector and enthusiast Howard Merk, we believe the natural world is one of the greatest classrooms., we believe the natural world is one of the greatest classrooms. Every hand-selected specimen—from the iron-rich Campo del Cielo meteorites of Argentina to crystals from Madagascar and ancient fossils—offers an opportunity to explore billions of years of natural history.

Our STEM programs and educational collections are designed to help students, educators, collectors, museums, and families experience science through authentic, hands-on discovery. Whether holding a real meteorite, examining a crystal, or studying a fossil, every specimen has the power to spark questions, inspire learning, and bring the wonders of the universe a little closer to home.
