Stones and Metals

Stones and Metals is a store in East Harlem where anything stone- or metal-related finds a home. Walk in for crystals and rough minerals, beadwork supplies, or small sculptures that catch the eye. Metallurgy fans can browse jewelry findings, casting supplies, and tools for shaping wire or sheet metal. Whether you need tumbling grit for rock polishing or soldering equipment for jewelry repair, Stones and Metals carries it.

You’ll find the shop at 256 E 125th St in New York, NY 10035, directly on a block that hums with bodegas, churches, and the occasional street corner music. Paste the address into your map app or call (347) 707-8853 if directions are unclear. Inventory moves quickly—new deliveries of rough stones and findings arrive every couple of weeks, so it’s worth swinging by twice a month to see what’s fresh.

The East 125th Street stretch sits between the Harlem River and bustling 125th, so the walk from the 6 train or the M116 bus drops you almost at the door. If you’re coming from farther out, plug the map location into your device instead of relying on memory: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2f5e1894dcce3:0xe80e77386ee69761.

Every few weeks they unload new trays of rough quartz or bronze wire—just show up and you’ll likely snag something surprising.
