Taos, NM
touchstone gallery

Mineral & Fossil Gallery of Taos fits right into this city of history. Located directly on the historic Taos Plaza, the gallery offers an extensive collection of minerals, fossils and jewelry. Step inside and you will be enchanted by the broad array of products attractively arranged in this clean, well-lit, 190 year old adobe building, complete with massive timber vigas on the ceiling.

Taos’ long and successful role in the art market began in 1898 when artists Bert Phillips and Ernest Blumenschein stopped to have a broken wagon wheel repaired, and decided to stay permanently. They are followed by many other artists relocating to this idyllic, natural beauty location. Today Taos remains a major contemporary art market. Mineral & Fossil Gallery plays an important role in the Taos art market, offering approximately 3,000 unique pieces of nature’s art etched in stone.

At just a short walk from the city’s convention center, Mineral & Fossil Gallery is a convenient and fun shopping destination for travelers and locals alike. Mineral and Fossil Gallery is a shopping adventure to remember for collectors and anyone seeking a unique and reasonably priced piece of pre-history!
