I stopped one day during open times, but it was closed. Rose rocks are also on exterior, so cool. I hope to come back and look inside sometime.

This is a neat little "museum". Inside you will find quite a few trinkets, cards, rocks, etc, and towards the back you will find a large Rose Rock sample. There's a little history and information on why they form. You can even purchase your own little Rose Rock if you so desire. It will take you about 10-15 min to look around the "museum" area.

If you take the main road through Noble, OK, (State Highway 77), past the false front buildings and numerous antique stores and the post office, you will come to a very small building off to the side of the road. That building is there to celebrate the rose rock. Every year, Noble pays tribute to this little rose-shaped piece of sandstone, and they have even gone to the trouble to have a rose rock museum/gift shop! You can't really blame them though; rose rocks can only be found in Oklahoma and some place in Africa. Festival is first Saturday in May.
