The Rock Shop — Attraction in Vacaville

If it wasn’t for the amazing and overwhelming amount of beauty and history that is inside of this one building. that I flew from Washington state to visit with my sister in law I would’ve given this place a 0 star review... I had an employee follow me around the entire store watching every move I made not asking if I need help or anything even though I hadn’t picked up or touched anything with out immediately setting it back down. On top of being followed every time I inquired about a certain piece I was interested in I was met with a rude attitude or a lack or interest in helping me from your employees. When I finally did make a decision on the particular piece I wanted, that wasn’t cheap I might add I was again met with a rude and very aggressive taller skinny white women who rudely imposed on the employee who was helping me with my transaction and when I asked if I could use the restroom because I had been in the shop so long, I was again interrupted by and had my conversation imposed on by the rude young lady who wasn’t even checking out my purchase, to let me know your bathroom was out of order..... if I hadn’t have spent two hours looking for the perfect piece to spoil myself with I wouldn’t have bothered purchasing anything from your store based off of my experience with your staff alone... 10/10 would not recommend...

Back story my daughter loves rocks and anything gemstones since she was three. Thanks to that tv show Steven Universe. I couldn't find a place that had all the rare stones ( she wanted and need lapis lazuli and azurite) she knew about and voila, just like a gemstone itself we saw this place right off of 80 upon a time we were heading towards the bay. The store looks rough on the outside but that's the beauty about it. It's what's inside that counts right ?. They have the coolest of stuff in there from the common amethyst stones, geodes from all kinds of places to rare rainbow opals, just beautiful. And theres nothing gimmicky or pretentious about this place , you can walk around and look with no weird stares and all kinds of visitors from the novice of rock collectors to those special crystal workers it's all cool. They changed ownership it looks like recently because the staff is different but they are still friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are little high now but still many great offers on other stuff like turquoise ,agate ,etc.. still one of favorite hole in the wall places to visit. Dont forget to visit the fossil section too. They have a fossil section how...

The owners are HORRIBLE and have no connection to the world and no sympathy whatsoever. I was in there with my one and half year old daughter and they kicked us out because they couldn't stand the fact that she was touching everything. I was very respectful and was putting everything back exactly where it was and exactly how it was placed but they did not care. They said that we were "ruining" everyone else's experience and their "peace" and that i should come back without my child... i am a single mother who was visiting the town, that isn't an option in my book. There were other children there, also touching things. They told me "they had their own children to feed." Youre better off going to the crystal shops in Fairfield or Concord where the owners and employees are genuine good-hearted people, unlike this place...

Such a shame to see this beautiful shop be run by people who are so disconnected from reality and do not care about their customers or what they are there for. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL BUYING YOUR CRYSTALS FROM THIS PLACE. THE NEGATIVE ENERGY FROM THESE NEW OWNERS IS AFFECTING THEM. THEY ARE WEAK AND NEED TO BE DEEPLY CLEANSED AND FULLY RECHARGED AND...
