We came up on a cold Saturday and wandered into this store. We were celebrating my daughters 11th birthday with her friends. There was an incredible selection of rocks and gems and such reasonable prices! I have each girl a $2 limit and the options for that price were incredible! The guy working was also extremely friendly and kind! Can't wait to visit again. read more

This is another Rock Store me and my family like to visit often when we are in Virginia City. They have similar items as another shop close by but each stone is different. We love the variety and the quality of their stones and the helpfulness of the staff makes our shopping experience much more fun. We will always be back to visit and we always leave with something!! read more

Very informative place. Workers there really like their jobs. I would certainly go back to this store. I do recommend this store 100%

Lovely selection of rocks and crystals and they have a nice, clean setup. I normally only purchase more "natural" crystals (unpolished and rugged) but it's still enjoyable to look around. If you're already in Virginia City, it's worth a visit! read more

Beautiful selection of local as well as worldwide stones! The prices are great!! I would love to be able to order online from them!

Excellent shop in Virginia City! I wasn't prepared to purchase specific crystals, but I left with a few fun items! The bead bracelets are very reasonable and lots of variety to choose from. Very nice shop clerk too!!! Do your research, make a list and head up to VC!!! read more

Great shop with an excellent selection of crystals all very reasonably priced! This was the busiest shop on C Street on a quiet off-season Monday afternoon, and they provided excellent customer service as well! read more

Found this beautiful butterfly window box. I was assured the butterflies were picked up after the died. read more

Comstock Rock Shop - Butterflies - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Virginia City, Nevada

This shop is one of my favorite rock shops i've visited, very reasonable prices and welcoming workers definitely one to check out!

Always on my list to check out when I head to VC. I've collected some beautiful jewelry and semi precious stones over the years! Oh and ammonites and rocks too! Truly something for anyone who appreciates geology and volcanic wonders from around the world! read more

Absolutely lovely place to shop at. The staff were friendly, the prices were great, and this was overall a very enjoyable experience. I spent about 55$ at both locations (both were within walking distance of each other) and I don't think I can begin to say how pleased I am with the products I bought. I splurged of course; I got several selenite products (some shards, a palm stone, and a 'wand'), some malachite, lapis, citrine, carnelian, serpentine, seraphinite, 3 large chunks of rose quartz, an amethyst pendulum, and a calcite fairy stone, among others i can't name off the top of my head. They are all gorgeous, and were all of a modest price. When I find myself back in Virginia City, I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Comstock Rock Shop - A calcite fairy stone, rose quartz, and tiger's eye - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Virginia City, Nevada

Great service, variety, and pricing! Only downside is that it's located in such a conspiracy-laden armpit of a town.

This place is a must-visit when you're in Virginia city! The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about the crystals, rocks, and minerals they sell! The prices are also awesome, and they have a huge selection of jewelry and other fun crystal based souvenirs. I've got a lot of my favorite crystals from here, and some are even sourced from Nevada! read more

Really enjoyed my visit and purchases here today. Really neat store that is put together very well. The prices are excellent and your purchases come in a nice box with info of whatever you bought if you do choose. The lady that works here was nice and very knowledgeable. read more

I loved this store. Probably the best shop in Virginia City, in my opinion. No junk, beautiful fossils and great prices. I popped in here 3 years ago and wanted a pair of bookends. Today was the day. Hubby and I picked out a beautiful pair native to Nevada. We were hoping for a little help moving a heavier set so as not to damage anything, but the gals were busy, and we managed just fine. I love how everything is labeled with what it is, where it came from and approximate age. I really wanted something from Nevada as a remeberance of our trip. Awesome earrings and other goodies too. Pass all the junk shops and come here! read more

They had everything 25% off so we got a lot of stuff without spending a fortune. But in general their items are priced well. You can find gifts for any occasions or items for your house/ office. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We spend so much time here! read more

My husband, brother in law and myself went to Lake Tahoe on our vacation. Were from Montana, so I was excited to see the original Virginia City. I really loved the Comstock Rock Shop and its sister store there too, which is Stone Age. The selection of all kinds of different gems and stones really was amazing. The staff was super friendly and nice. I ended up buying a Sugilite/Richterite pendant. Its a jasper from South Africa found in the iron rich magnesium mines. The most beautiful purple with blue. I wear it everyday and love it so much. It was expensive but the quality was way worth it. Online I have seen stuff way more expensive for less quality. If we ever do make it back here again. I would so come back to these awesome stores again, in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for everything, this really was part of my trip that was so fantastic...Bravo...

This place rocks. heh heh... But seriously, they have rocks and fossils from all around the world here. If you don't buy anything here, it sure is cool to look!!! read more

I always walk in here thinking I'm not going to buy anything, and I always walk out of here with something. Interestingly enough, they have some some really beautiful jewelry. I realized on my latest visit that I've probably purchased a number of beautiful stone pendants and rings and bracelets here. So while most people come in to ooh and aah over things like geodes, malachite, quartz and you know, rocks, don't miss out on perusing their wonderful jewelry and beads. read more

Rocks galore, they seriously have just about everything. Fossils, onyx from pakistan, sharks teeth, on and on and on. They have small kits that can be utilized for science projects. You can easily walk away spending under $20 and still have some fun at Comstock Rock Shop. But don't be fooled they carry other artifacts. They have butterfly displays and large fossil displays and even books for sale here. If your an avid collector or your looking to drop some serious coin on a really nice rock/stone object I would try this location. If they don't have it, I'm willing to bet they can get it. read more

Great Store with a super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I love visiting this shop when I'm in Virginia City. They have some amazing specimens and some great jewelry! The prices are totally fair considering how touristy V.C. has become. It's the kind of place that you can find something new every time you visit, even if it's the same day! read more

Stopped in to this shop as a last minute whim. It turned out to be the highlight of my time at Virginia City. I purchased a beautiful rainbow drusey ring to remind me of all the fun we had during this spring break. This shop has so much cool stuff in it at different price points. It's a good place to get souvenirs or learn about stones. The next day I wanted more! The hubby drove me to the store in Reno at 2002 Harvard Way to pick up some more unique items before we return home. I had no idea I had an interest in stones. read more

Not a bad little specialty shop. While most of the wares were beyond anything I could afford- and not having a home to put the items on display- I opted for just a couple of simple items: a mood ring, and a worry stone. Most rock hounds and fossil fans (especially kids) will find something of value. worth checking out. read more

Amazing selection, very modest pricing, excellent service and everything you buy is boxed and rapped, for safe shipping. Management at this company really knows how to run a business, and offer good value, without gauging its customers. When in Virginia City, make sure you stop by! read more

I don't really care for "rocks" or stones, but came in this store on a whim. I don't even know why...I just kind of wandered in. Anyway, I'm glad I stopped by. There are numerous stones, rocks and fossils that are beautiful with colors I've never seen before. If the rock needs a stand, you can purchase the stand for only $0.60 to display it at home. I bought a few gifts here and something for myself. The guy that was in the shop was really friendly and sincerely wanted to help with anything we needed. He even took the extra care to box everything up nicely and put in a little note with information on each stone we purchased. read more

This large store has a huge variety of rocks, for jewelry as well as for working with the energy of the stones. You don't have to be a New Ager or someone skilled at working with energy to find something you like here; but if you do work with crystals, want to learn about crystals, or want to find something obscure, this is also the place for you. The displays are well-organized, and you have plenty of space to move around the hordes of people who are standing almost motionless, trying to take in all the information and holding different stones in their hands, feeling for the right energetic vibration. Each stone has information about it displayed, so you can understand how to use the stones and what their properties are. And, if you're really not that interested in the energetic properties of stones, you can buy jewelry with stones. There are also some good books sold here, if you want to study. I think the staff can be very helpful, but we were there on Christmas Eve, and the staff were absolutely swamped. They didn't have time to do much more than wrap gifts and ring the register. Items range from inexpensive to obscenely expensive, so this store has something for all budgets. Comstock Rock Shop is definitely a high point for shopping in Virginia City. read more

I was in the Reno area and I decided to venture out to Virginia city to see what it was all about. I walked around the lil town doing some window shopping. I noticed this place and thought it was really cool. They have really good prices here on some awesome crystals. . I was on vacation and I have no plans of buying any type of crystals but somehow I was drawn back to the store the next morning. I got there right as they opened on a Sunday and was greeted by a very nice gentleman. It was awesome to have the store all to myself and the energy/vibe was great there. The Asian guy helping me was very friendly and he was actually from the bay area like me. I picked up some really cool stones and crystals here which helped energize the rest of my trip. If you're in the Virginia City area stop by and check this place out. It's worth it. Big pieces at low prices compared to California. read more

What an amazing an very interesting stop. A definite must see! When we walked in to the store we were greeted by a very knowledgeable professional named Boyd. He looked like a miner. He knew so much about the different stones in the shop and their metaphysical properties. We stayed much longer in the store than planned as Boyd made the stop in the store so interesting and fun. I plan on stopping in every time we are out this way. read more

Staff was horrible. Asked them to hold some items while we met some friends for lunch and would be back with them after to make purchase. We left the store but niece was still looking and overheard the clerk bad mouth us to another clerk and call their other location across the street and tell them we were probably just going around town and asking people to hold items. We had over $200.00 of merchandise we were going to purchase. Well my niece filled us in and we went back and asked for a manager and of course none was available. We confronted her on her behavior and she denied it. I hope she gets paid by commission and lost our sale. We told we would spend our money where it was appreciated. Found a great jewelry store Tourqouis Keva and dropped around $300.00 there. read more

I visited this store 3 times within a week. I actually drove to Virginia City from Reno twice to go to this store. They have great products of all price ranges. I bought my 4 year old a $1 geode. I love the beautiful worry stones for $4. They have great bead strands and cases of gorgeous jewelry (all or mostly set in silver). You must visit! read more

I love browsing this shop. In my experience, the staff has always been friendly and helpful. Between fossils that cost hundreds of dollars and $1 chunks of quartz, I always wind up leaving with something cool. read more

Simply the best selection I have ever found for stone pendents. I come here whenever I can and I have never been disappointed. I love to make jewelry and I have not found a place with better prices for gemstone chips. read more

Love this rock shop! This is the main reason that I go up to Virginia City. If I lived closer I would spend my whole pay check here every month. Knowledgeable staff. Good prices and great products! read more

I purchased a beautiful evil eye bracelet for my girlfriend at this shop today. Unfortunately, not even 7 hours later, the bracelet is broken! I'm utterly disappointed and upset in regards to the durability of this item. I was told at the time of purchase that this item was sterling silver, however I've never encountered silver that breaks so easily. Last but not least, I live over 200 miles away!! So now we are stuck with a useless bracelet. read more

Went to both shops in Virginia City and came back with 2 boxes full of beautiful Nevada rocks. The best was when Mike, at Stone Age went down to the cellar and brought up boxes of just what I was looking for. Can't wait to return with more family on our next trip. read more
