My name is Adrienne McElwain and I have been hauling rocks since I was 9 years old. It started out as helping my father in his rock shop, but by the time I was 15 years old I was teaching geology.
Now I go around the world showing people how rocks are mined, collected, manipulated, cut, polished, set, and sold.
I also run The Crystal Festival a show I started in 2010 as a trunk show. Since then it has grown and now takes up conference centers and event centers around the Western United States.
In 2022 I hired one of my best friends and now partner Ron Garza to follow me around the world as we travel the globe looking for cool rocks!

Producing videos' for our YouTube has been a new challenge these past few years. From arranging to travel to abiding by local laws, to learning to be on camera. The entire ordeal has been an adventure unto itself!
Help us keep the videos going by giving them a watch, click like, subscribe, and even share! We do not make any money off of our videos' we want to keep them ad free and family-friendly so that everyone can learn about geology.
Have a topic you want to see us create a video on? Send us a message and let us know! Right now we are working on creating a series of videos that go over the topics discussed in our classes but would be happy to add more topics to our ever-growing list of videos to make!

The Crystal Festival started in 2010 as a trunk show at Rockpick Legend Co. in 2018 the storefront on Main Street closed, but the festival remained alive!
In 2019 The Crystal Festival announced it would start hosting shows at the Davis Conference Center. In 2020 the first Crystal Festival as we know it now took place. The Crystal Festival has been growing ever since and is dedicated to staying FREE to the public, and family-friendly. Our goal is to unite the metaphysical world with the geologic one, give everyone a chance to celebrate the reasons they love rocks and minerals, and to network, learn, and grow as a community.
At the Crystal Festival you can meet mine owners, sign up for rockhounding trips, network with authors, rockhounds, and shop owners. There is a kid's corner with jr rockhound activities, and anywhere from 30 to 80 vendors depending on the location.
