This place is so much fun! We stopped on our road trip to Mendo. The people there are very nice and they have a huge selection of fun stoned and rocks. Plus other cool things. read more

Along highway 101 between Cloverdale and Hopland is the most awesome place I just can't drive past. This place has a lot of rocks, crystals, fossils, etc... There is so much to see and even more you don't see. You can browse the same shelf several times and still notice something new. This isn't your typical new age hippie dippy crystal twinkie shop. This is the kind of place that could give a geologist wood. read more

Great rock shop just north of Cloverdale and south of Hopland on US 101. Plenty of rough rocks, fossils, and polished stones. Found some unique items at good prices. They even had a fluorescent rock display. I would recommend this shop to any rockhound. Go soon since this place looks to be for sale by a realtor! read more

Rock Shop - Rock Shop - Hobby Shops Near Me - Hopland, California

I have drove past the 100 times and never went in So I made the plan to go the other day after talking to the owner Saul. The only way I can explain how it was to go somewhere and someone actually knows what they're talking about and has a large assortment of crystals and rocks. For me, it was like walking into the middle of the earth , Beautiful magnificent. Some crystals, were shiny and bright and some were like they came from the middle of the earth It was the most interesting and peaceful experiencesI think I've ever had. Saul is knowledgeable and has everything I wanted. read more

Perfect store for my geology obsessed 5-year-old! Affordable variety of rocks. My little guy got some "geodes" and other sparkly/pretty rocks to add to his collection. read more

What a gem!!! The family had and amazing time looking and learning about rocks. But the best experience I had was when I asked the owner "how did you get into the rock business". The answer was so amazing you will want automatically rate this a 5 star shop. So go in and buy some rocks and and listen to the story first hand, you will thank me. read more

What a hidden gem, no pun intended :-) While driving up to Humboldt State University to snag my spawn for the summer, I happened upon a sign for "The Rock Shop". Since I was in a rush, I made a note to stop by on my way back down. I almost kept going by, but veered of the highway and managed to talk my hubby (who did not want to stop) and my teenagers into going into the "boring rock store". Surprise, surprise the whole family was teleported into a magical world of million year old treasures from all over the world, and perhaps other universes. In this little shop you will find rocks, gems, fossils and so much more. The shop is a little depilated shack, do not let this stop you from entering a world full of beautiful, and rare items. Are you in the mood for a megalodon tooth or a snail fossil? Opals? Grape Agates? Geodes. How about a lapis stone from Afghanistan that has bedfellows that were used in the mask of Tutankhamun? Crystal skulls? Anything in between. There are so many amazing items. Even more amazing is the owner, who brings three generations and passion for petrology. His grandfather once had a rock shop in Napa, Ca. He is a wonderful and friendly source of knowledge. This place is wonderful for a true hobbyist, or for someone just cruising by. We left with grape agates, snail fossils, geodes to crack at home, and many other beautiful treats. We know very little about the cost/value of this particular hobby, but found that after some research the owner offered exceptional value for high quality items. You would not find these prices online, and online you will not find a friendly, knowledgeable and kind expert. The other was a bit eccentric and I would expect no less. This was such a fun, and unexpected stop in my day. I will definitely drive back just to visit. Even the hubby and the kids did not want to leave (keep in mind these are the same people who did not want to stop). Little business like this are a dying breed in America. Yes there is parking. Yes, you can use a debit or credit card. read more

This place is a literal diamond in the rough. Don't be scared away by the look because you will find awesome deals. There is very little organization so you have to dig but there are beautiful pieces. The shop owner and the guy who helps him are super friendly and don't mind when you pick up every piece and ask what it is. They also often give deals if you're buying a lot or use cash. HIGHLY recommend if you love crystals. Note: leave the kids who can't keep their hands to themselves in the car, I brought my 3-year-old nephew once and it was a nightmare. read more

Super cool shop. Charles the helper was amazing. He knew all about the names of each one of the million different kinds of rocks and fossils. He was very patient and amazing with the kids. Great guy! And I loved the sign that says: Don't be afraid to ask dumb questions. Certainly a unique place. Make sure to make a stop on your way to Hopland. read more

How have I not reviewed this yet?! I stop here at the rock shop (look for the truck with a sign off the highway on your way into Ukiah) every time I go north, which is at least once a summer. This is such a great place for rockhounds and kids who like to collect cool stuff. The owner is a nice guy who seems to get saner every time I visit (does that mean that I'm really just slowly losing it?). He is highly knowledgeable and helpful. I like his phosphorescent rocks, they glow under blacklight, especially since there minerals are hard to find (look for longwave if you don't want to have to buy a special, expensive light to see the effect). I always find something great to buy, and the prices are very reasonable. Stop, stretch and browse at this lovely roadtrip mecca the next time you are going north. read more

What is an American road trip without at least one visit to a roadside attraction? It's a banal trip to the grocery store, that's what. While planning my 30 hour getaway to Cloverdale, Hopland, and Ukiah, I read about the Rock shop and absolutely had to go. It's a perk of being the birthday girl... your friends have to go along with your wild idea. The other yelp reviews were so vague, my curiosity was definitely piqued. What does a store selling rocks look like? Do they sell rock candy? Is it some eccentric guy that picks up rocks from the sidewalk and slaps price tags on them? Are they rocks for landscaping? All these questions and more were answered during our visit. Turns out, the man that owns the rock shop is a second generation rock enthusiast. His father built the shop in the 1950's. He has rocks from all over the world. Some of the rocks were quite beautiful and I surprised myself by thinking "Hmm, yeah, I guess $45 for a rock seems reasonable." I saw rocks I've never seen before... really colorful. I ended up buying a small rock with pretty gold flecks on it. It's sitting on my bookshelf now and looks great. read more

Very cool rock shop. Stopped with my kids and they spent 40 mins trying to decide how to spend their $3. The owner was gracious, kind and patient, and we walked out with several tiny treasures for each kid. Highly recommend!! read more

Second time being here, driving hours out of the course to come! Always love the finds, and amazing prices! Nothing fancy, just beautiful minerals read more

Sherry i miss the shop. my Dad and my Grandpa owned it till Grandpa died then it was Dad i helped run it now Dad has been gone for a long time and i dont even know who is running it but other than getting older and a lot more broken down it seems to be the magical place my boys grew up. read more

Stumbled upon this place on our drive up to City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. It was literally a hole in the wall. Lately had a fascination with crystals and stones so figured I'd pop in to see what they had to offer. There were so many amazing pieces I wanted my hands on but I ended up with a Asian Citrine of some sort per the owner. It's beautiful! Love carrying it with me throughout my work shift. Whenever I head out this way I'd want to stop by and check it out again. Very nice owner and if you pay cash the price can be a bit cheaper than what is on the sticker. Who doesn't love a deal?? Their assortment in crystals, rocks and fossils were awesome. So glad we decided to stop by. read more

Rock Shop - I was told this was an Asian Citrine? I was really attracted to the colors & hues. $24 originally but $20 For cash versus card. - Hobby Shops Near Me - Hopland, California

Every time I am going through Anderson Valley - I have to stop here and browse, This place has so much inventory - gorgeous, high quality rocks & jewelry - that it is amazing that they can be in business in this rural location. I don't know how I resist spending thousands of dollars on jewelry every time I go there - I love this place! read more

This place should be voted "best dive rock shop" because 1) its a billion years old and a dive, and 2) its AMAZING!!! Any type of rock, mineral, fossil, etc that you could possibly ever ever want. Look for it on the right side of the highway when you're heading towards Ukiah. The first time we stopped here was in the early 1970s and we've been coming back ever since. Highly recommend! read more

I love, love, love this place. When 101 was re-structured, I was worried that the shop would disappear. It's a great local place. The owner is very knowledgeable and is an all around nice guy. Lots of great finds here. I hope they stay open forever. read more

Stopped by this hidden gem on the way home from picking up my daughter. Lost of different stones all sizes and we found a few we liked. Sadly we were rushed because of the fires and the evacuations and road closures. We had to get out before we got stuck with out a way to get home. Store wasn't very organized but if you like to be surprised by a find this place is for you. read more

Love this little store off the beaten path! The owner was a real gentleman and very helpful! We bought a bunch of specimens which would have cost a fortune elsewhere but were very reasonable at this store. We got a huge citrine for $125.00 easily $300 in a different store, very worth the stop! read more

Rick is the nicest guy around. He answered all our dumb questions with a smile and was so laid back and helpful. We had a wonderful time looking at all the hidden gems and fossils and meteorites - stop in and say hi! read more

This spot is a hidden gem. Doesn't look like much, but the nice man inside sells beautiful cabochons, drilled stones, rocks of all sorts, and some jewelry for fair prices. read more

This place is definitely interesting. It's a totally run down building housing a ton of rocks and a lot of cobwebs. The rock offerings aren't the best ever, but are definitely worth checking out if you are a collector. The guy who runs the place seems like a bit of an odd bird, but a very good guy. He takes care of about 20 cats, most of whom were stray or abandoned. So you'll see a number of cats running by out front, some of which are friendlier than others. read more

I was on my vacation And I stopped in .and I could not believe the beautiful old stock materials here .been collecting all my life and this is the place.the owners are awesome definitely going to come back read more

My boy rick was helpful, kind and super patient in answering all our questions and inquiries. This place is so cool and very inexpensive for the quality of the rocks you get! 100% recommend stoping in and browsing around!!! 11/10 place! read more

Awesome shop near mile marker 67. Rick is extremely knowledgeable, helpful & passionate about rocks. He's got everything from crystals to meteorites. We had a great time browsing and learning about rocks and everybody left with something special. I bought a Labraborite and Rick helped me look up the energies & meanings & origin of that rock. Crafty Lady was his mother. The love and passion for rocks is evident! read more

My son and I stopped at this rock shop a few days ago for the first time. What a cool place to browse around. Yes, it's a bit dusty but that didn't bother us a bit. Lots of wonderful rocks, stones, fossils, etc. to check out. The owner is a friendly guy who lets you just wander in peace if that's what you want. We ended up buying several different types of quartz. If you're going through Hopland, you should definitely make a stop here. read more

I absolutely love this place.!! The first time I went in I was welcomed, amazed and when I asked questions I was answered respectfully..!!! It's nice to go in and look around, they have such amazing things to look at. I couldn't leave without geo rocks, those are the best... I defitnely have to go back and get a colored geo. Amazing, keep up the work fellas... I'll defitnely be in soon..!! read more

Place rules. Tons of stuff at great prices. I can't believe I didn't stop here years ago.

Call me partial but I am the baby sister of the man who now ownes the Rock Shop on the highway on 101 in Hopland. We are 4th generation rock hounds and lapidarists. Our grandfather was well known in Napa for his Opals.I was just in the shop on Easter weekend and was amazed at some of the beautiful specimans and stones I saw . It is a really cool place to visit and a good place for the beginner rockhound. Check it out if you get in the area. read more
