About Us
Treating our customers like family since the beginning!
Doc – Randy “Doc” McCoy (the founder of Doc's Rocks Gem Mine) retired from the US Army as an Emergency Field Surgeon in 2002. After an extensive medical career, Doc decided to go back to college to study geology. He attended Appalachian State University where he double majored in Geology and Recreation Management.
Doc and his wife Trina founded Doc's Rocks based on their own personal strong family values and honesty. There are no 'behind the scenes' operations and all business is conducted in front of the public for all to see. The 'DRGM' staff members are held to these same standards of operation.
We strive to treat every customer like family and ensure that they always feel welcome and know that they can trust our staff to give them the highest quality customer care possible. These values are the main things that sets 'DRGM' apart from our competition.
