About Us
Our story
Growing up, our founder Ariana always felt a deep connection with the outdoors and an undeniable fascination with rocks. Often, she would wander through the woods, tossing stones into rivers and bringing home the special ones that caught her eye. Little did she know, these early adventures would ignite a lifelong passion for the natural world.
In 2024, Ariana channeled this passion into launching Discovery Rocks, with a mission to share her love for nature with the community and inspire others to appreciate the beauty of the natural world within their own homes. She believes that the wonders of nature should be experienced not just outdoors, but also within the spaces where we live and create.
Ariana dedicated two years to learning the industry before opening Discovery Rocks, ensuring she could offer the best quality products at honest prices. This journey has been an adventure, driven by her commitment to bringing the beauty of nature into everyday life through art. At Discovery Rocks, we’re here to help you foster a deeper connection with the natural world, one beautiful piece at a time.
