The Rockery reviews
31 The Rockery is a must visit for anyone traveling to Seymour or surrounds. There's an amazing display of gems and crystals plus the stories that the owner Maurie tells are also truly a gem.
His warm and friendly nature definitely makes it even more worth the visit
What an absolute DELIGHT.the quality and value INCREDIBLE. Will definitely be back for some more treasures
Great People.

As I've lost 2 onyx pyramids.
Don't know who took.
But aad.
An easy detour off the Hume at Longwood and well worth a visit if you love your rocks (like I do) An excellent display of both museum pieces and crystals for purchase. It was great to have a chat with Maurie and I am very happy with the purchases I made. Maurie kindly provided the names and locations for each gem stone. Great service, I’ll be back!
Beautiful place, really wonderful and wonder-filled! Make sure to check out the glowing crystals and all the additions such as teeth, fossils etc. I love this place. The lovely man, he was unwell but i am so glad he is back. This is so worth a trip, it should be on a bus tour of the old areas of outer Melb! No higher recommendation for any crystal place is deserved. The jewellery, crystals, stones and even when he offers you a leather necklace and makes it himself for you, it is all very special. No photos to show you as all the photos are shown by others below.
What a hidden gem this place is. Maurie rocks and the whole place is a diamond in the rough. It will take you a while to dig through all the rocks but it's well worth it. Ask to pat Mack the puppy dog, he is gold.
Love murry such a sweet man.accidentally forgot a pair of earrings.called the next day, and he was very willing to send them my mail to me.he is such a wealth of knowledge, and not just on crystals.i have been coming to the rockery from a very young age, and will continue coming for years to come.he is honestly the best!
We are a family or 2 adults and 2 kids but Maurie had no problems walking us through the museum and answering all our questions.
He took the time to talk to the kids directly and showed them some of his hidden collection also.
Lovely bloke and a lovely museum!
I absolutely loved it there, i could spend forever looking at the massive collection and spending my money aha. Maurie has so much interesting knowledge and facts about it all and made it just alot better, Definitely worth the hour drive?
I first went to The Rockery in Longwood a few years ago and was stunned by the huge variety and quantity of both specimens and items for sale. This was a big surprise in such a small town when I had not been expecting much at a;;. In addition, I found Maurie, the owner, is a man of great knowledge in many fields. Everything he has for sale or on exhibit is high quality and beautifully displayed. A shopper or visitor to the museum can ask anything and Maurie is happy to spend the time to give easily understood but also technical answers.
Maurie chats for ages about all his rocks and Holden's! Lots of treasures in all the small rooms. You can buy rocks and jewellery and even have a cuppa!
Absolutely amazing site. Maurie is a walking encyclopaedia and so generous with his time and learnings.gorgeous, enormous collection.this place is an absolute must visit!
Fantastic diverse display in a tucked away place.
Well worth a drive to the country if you're into crystals, fossils, gemstone jewellery and other things!
So helpful and knowledgeable - what a credit to Longwood. Call in to see this wonderful collection.
I think this is a hidden gem in northern Victoria. I love to visit Maurie and his huge collection of crystals and gems. So many rooms filled with beautiful energy. I never come away empty handed. Something for everyone.
Really lovely. Maurie is so helpful and so generous with his knowledge and time. I'll be back for many more visits.
I drove for an hour and a half especially to visit this place. As soon as I opened the door I knew it was worth it. This place is amazing. Maurie is a wealth of knowledge. Going back real soon.
Absolutely magical place.
Sooooo many beautiful pieces of jewellery, bowls and bowls of loose crystal gems of every variety + some!
Museum displays not for sale. Millions of years old fossils.
Maurie is fantastic, he knows his rocks and is always pleasant and hospitable.
Awesome crystal selections, had just about every crystal and fossil. So beautifully displayed. Such good service, so friendly and really added to the experience! Really good prices too. Highly recommend going to this fantastic shop!
Wow what can one say. Enormous collection from across the globe with every colour and shape examinable. Murray a wealth of knowledge.
