Merrill Hinshaw, a nationally recognized stone polisher, has always been fascinated by rocks and the outdoors. As a child, he enjoyed spending time hunting arrowheads and collecting interesting artifacts with his father. After his father purchased equipment to cut and polish stones, what started as a hobby quickly turned into a trade for Merrill.

Each piece of jewelry created by Merrill is handcrafted and can take anywhere from a week to a month to complete due to his unique craftsmanship. His son and grandson now cut and polish the stones while his daughter, a geologist, has a wealth of knowledge about the exceptional finds. Janis, wife of Merrill, who has worked with the Hinshaws for decades, now works inside their shop. Hinshaw Rock N’ Gems is located 5 minutes from French Lick.

The Hinshaws have been revealing the hidden beauty of stones through their lapidary business for 57 years and are known internationally for their unique treasures. A visit to Hinshaw Rock N’ Gems is an eye-opening experience that will change the way you view rocks forever.
