In Pottersville, not far from I-87, is the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, which has a rock shop adjacent to their gift shop.

The rock shop is at the entrance to the attraction. Some rocks and jewelry are sold in the the gift shop. However, the real rock shop is in an adjacent area.

There are many rocks for sale. The web page on the web site lists what is available. These include: various sized rock/mineral specimens, geodes, florescent rocks, fossils and meteorites. There are geodes that you can purchase and have cut or 'popped.'

there are additional displays on the property that are not for sale, including many dinosaur fossils.

The attraction has been owned by the same family since the initial land grant was given after the American Revolutionary War. There was a video showing on the property that featured the owners and how, in particular, the husband has been acquiring rocks and dinosaur fossils.

The directions, from the web site, are as follows:
-Take Northway I-87 to Exit 26. The Exit will lead you directly to Stone Bridge Road.
-Take a right at the end of the off ramp and proceed 2 miles to the entrance.
-Note: keep left on Stone Bridge Rd at unmarked intersection located a short distance from the off ramp.
