Had a very good experience coming here. The atmosphere was very calm and quiet. They have a wide variety of crystals and more to pick from. I’ll be bringing my family back. I would recommend to anyone planning to visit to do some research on crystals that you are interested in. The prices are very reasonable and not over the top like other stores. Make sure to check them out!
Wanted a few nice pieces for my next Zoom meeting. WOW, what a great selection and I found some wonderful pieces. You should definitely check them out. Also, customer service is great and they also provide education on the gems/stones.
Awesome shop! Super cool staff. Very helpful and friendly. So happy my friends and I stopped! Thank you!!
Really cool shop. They had a wide selection of really nice rocks and gems. They have some really unique pieces for the serious collector and lots of smaller ones for people just starting out their collection. The staff was super friendly and very informative. Highly recommend.
Outstanding service! I was there a couple days ago and they took their time to help me choose the right crystal pieces that I need for a gift I was making. I was there for quite a while and they reassured me to take all the time I needed and offered assistance. Every staff member has experience with their items and a lot of knowledge. Very welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. The prices are very affordable and reasonable as well. I MOST DEFINITELY recommend to my friends and will visit again soon. Thanks guys!
Went here yesterday and was astounded with my visit. They have a huge display of crystals that would rival a rock museum. The specimens are amply labeled with their identification and location of origin. The display are also neatly labeled with pricing. I love that the ID cards are so non-descript and straight-forward. You know you’re not paying for the price of a fancy card. They have wide selections (or maybe I came at a great weekend). I recently started my crystal collection and I was stoked as I left the store with a hefty bag of pretty specimens. I will be coming back for sure.
I love this place! I went here yesterday for the first time and I absolutely loved it! The employees were so kind and very helpful, I was looking for a moldavite piece but it was out of my price range and they found another crystal, malachite, and I ended up buying that but 10/10 recommend I will definitely be coming Back and the prices were so reasonable and affordable!!! And everyone was social distancing and wearing a mask, super convenient!
I walk into the shop the first time it was a little crowded but I had so many questions about different stones the owner was very friendly, and very helpful the crowded visitors did not stop her from helping me and answering many questions!!! This was a very good vibe from my other experience in my home town. That sprays you down before walking in the door! A limited of 5 her rules! And feeling rushed and grab what I want and go with out knowing what I’m buying so I appreciate be treated like a customer and a newbie 😂 I recommend this little sweet store I wish I could give her 10 ********** thank you so much for being kind!
A must stop for anyone looking to grow their crystal collection! The store is packed with lovely specimens at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Their wire-wrapped jewelry is beautiful and affordable. On the Rocks is yet another reason to spend time in this delightful neighborhood.
My fiancé, sister in law, and I visited the store last week and the customer experience was off the roof. Super informative and the staff is well knowledgeable about the crystals and provide amazing recommendations. And were super friendly and educated. SUPER affordable and will HIGHLY recommend the location to any beginner or expert. Tips are always welcome lol
Beautiful store! awesome location. easy street (paid) parking. all fossils and crystals are beautifully displayed. super reasonable prices. some items proceeds are donated to local communities. very cool place.
I was SO happy to discover this crystal shop (Chicago desperately needs more of these stores)! They have a large selection of crystals and their prices are extremely fair. Their taking the necessary covid precautions by limiting to 5 customers at a time and ensuring customers use hand sanitizer and have a face mask on before entering. I believe the owners were working when I was there and theyre super friendly and knowledgeable. I was so pleased with my purchases; it honestly made my day!
Super friendly staff, huge inventory, and probably the best prices Ive seen for rocks/crystals/gemstones/fossils in Chicago.
Incredible. One of the best crystal shops Ive ever been to.
I have had a great experience every time I have been to this shop. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and seem to have good energy. Even if they dont have what Im looking for every time, they have a fairly good selection for such a small shop! Good things come in small packages.
OUTSTANDING Store with AWESOME selections. SUPER knowledgeable and helpful Staff! Love this place! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Dude doubled the price of the jewelry I bought . Be cautious when buying from here .
Went there today for the first time and its my new favorite place for shiny rock babies . Chelsea was a delight and very informative and the selection is huge. If you were thinking of checking the place out DO IT ! You wont regret it
Really great place with lots of rocks that are great quality with really nice staff what more could you ask for.
Helpful staff and a great selection of products!
Im sure this reviews are from fam and friends poor service poor quality cheap cheap cheap and high prices not word the price to expense
Great shop! Lots a beautiful crystals. The staff was very knowledgeable & they have almost any stone/ crystal you can think of.
I liked this place alot more than other shops. Their prices seem more affordable. Or at the very least there is a variety of prices. They have papers to take home with explanation of each crystal and the staff is so chill. I will be coming back
Personally speaking- energy, vibrations and customer service is everything.This juice here is good!My best friend and I recently visited this shop on a Monday, it was about 3:50pm when we entered the store, as we rushed in from the rain there was no “hello”, no acknowledgement nothing...the young women who worked there was washing dishes. All of our questions were “no this, no that” the crystal shop was closed and we were [rudely] informed the juice area was also closing in 2 minutes- thus the attitude- EVEN THOUGH website, google and windows state the shops close at 8pm, the apparently were closing at 4... okay (rolls eyes). And it’s wasn’t even that, ok so, everyone had weird hours nowadays, people are stressed, I get it! But when it comes to customers, you always treat them with respect, interest and acknowledgement. My best friend and I were both genuinely interested in spending money, looking for crystals and pine juice… But the young lady who was there on Monday afternoon Will probably be the downfall, her energy is in the negatives and her attitude is disgusting. Be careful how you treat people.
A lovely shop with beautiful rocks and crystals.
Ive been twice. Warm and friendly staff. Affordable variety of crystals
Very nice selection and reasonable prices. Staff seem very invested and knowledgeable, and are happy to answer questions. I was in here for like 45 minutes just browsing and they made me feel welcome without any pressure to buy. Very chill. Of course I did end up buying several beautiful pieces! When they rang me up, they were careful to note the prices of pieces that were per ounce so I understood the total and agreed to it, and they also clarified that they dont do returns. I dont love that they dont do returns, but given the nature of what they sell, its understandable. All in all, a great experience! Love my rocks and I will be back!
Love this place. I love the selection. I enjoy the fantasy pieces and I always leave with what I came in for or more because they had something else I’ve had my eye on. The staff is always helpful and gives me my space to shop. This is officially my go-to in the city ✨💕💛🔮
This place is one of my favorite shops in Chicago. Great customer service, great prices and selection, and just an overall awesome vibe here!
I was looking for amethyst for my 33rd wedding anniversary. I googled gems near me and up popped this store...I went and met two gem/jewelry makers. Two of the coolest, most chilled guys....the store has more gems/stones you could ever ask for...the web site cant bring out how nice the place is...you gotta go and just visit..Im gonna bring a watch chain I got back so these guys can craft a stone for the piece.Go here for your stone uplifting
This is one of my favorite rock shops I have ever been in. The vibe is current, clean, and refreshing. It’s really conducive to seeing all the beautiful pieces they have. I would leave at least half and hour just to walk around and take in some of the gorgeous stones they have selected.There’s lots of things you can buy for under a few bucks (I got a piece of ruby for 73 cents), all the way up to pieces that cost thousands of dollars. So from pocket stones to collectors pieces, you can definitely find what you’re looking for here. Plus they’re incredibly knowledgeable and into what they do. Definitely stop by!
I love this place! Beautiful pieces, and people who are there if you need them and fine if you dont. They always have or are searching for the exact things Im looking for 👍
Excellent friendly customer service! Great shop with and awesome selection!
The wonderful place clean helpful very nice
Very nice staff and store, and a great addition to Andersonville area. They were helpful and knowledgeable about their crystals, stones, gems and jewelry. Only reason it doesnt get higher rating is because it still needs a little more variety but I am rooting for this shop to keep growing !
Awesome rock shop with helpful knowledgable people. I love the way thy display their crystals with respect. This shop has good energy and an array of crystals. Awesome!!!
Okay, here it is.... I am from Wisconsin. I was actually visiting a different crystal shop and came across this gem. No pun intended. I could have kicked myself for not coming here first, however that did not stop me from investing in some of their beautiful beauties!!! I love this place!! I had fun. The prices are EXTREMELY affordable. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. They have some of the most beautiful specimens I have ever seen. They are also very hands on. You are welcome to pick things up, check them out and anything behind glass they will happily help you with as well. I couldnt say enough positives about On The Rocks wonderful. Thank you On The Rocks for your kindness. I will be back.
I love coming here. The people are very friendly and helpful. And I grew up as a kid liking rocks and minerals. Now I know why I enjoy coming here. They workers are very helpful. It helps bring me comfort and peace. Its like my sanctuary. If you want to find something rock(s) come here. You will be glad you did. Something worth spending youre money on.
In LOVE with the malachite turtle that my son received as a gift! My mother in law wants one now! Lovely! Thank you! 🐢
Great selection of gems offor very reasonable prices.pKnowledgeable and friendly staff that are happy to assist and answer any questions.
A little pricey but great crystal shop got lots of cool rocks.
Chelsea was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, educational; if she was unsure, without hesitation, verified that she was giving me the correct information. Thank you for ALL the suggestions and insight pertaining to the different stones/gems, wraps etc. The vibes in the store have always been nothing but warm and welcoming! :-) Thanks again On the Rocks Gems staff!
These people are great. They really deserve 5 stars but some of the items are expensive. Now Im sure that they cost a lot naturally. The staff is nice especially the more they see you come in. Atmosphere is great and I enjoy going even just for a quick visit.
This place is AMAZING prices are very reasonable and they had a HUUUUUGE selection of gemstones! I will definitely shop here again! Much love to the store!
Very nice staff. Terrific products!
Its a fantastic little shop to wander thru... I usually dedicate a bit of money per check just to go up there and see if they have anything new and cool! Prices are super reasonable, and staff are really chill, overall prolly one of my fav stores in the city!
Rockhound and crystal hunter delight! Choice specimen, as well as a plethora of micro material. Fantastic store, cant wait to go back.
Very clean store, & well lit! I can see their awesome selection very clearly!
Nice people. Beautiful stones and crystals.
An excellent place to go and get some amazing crystals and gem stones.I had a chakra balancing done there and it was so positiveThe people that work there are very knowledgeable about the products and how to appropriately use them.Thank you
A great selection in a convenient space. Lots of options for cut, polished, or natural stones with descriptions of their non-empirically-supported uses.
Service was excellent, the employee was very helpful with her knowledge of the stones
Awesome place for stones and crystals! Very knowledgeable staff.
The staff was really kind and helpful, and they have some of the best prices Ive seen for rocks and crystals. Highly recommend!
I love this store! Fantastic crystals, stones, and gems! Everyone is so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable! The vibe is amazing!
I visited this place with a Spiritual Sister, the crystals were Beautiful, and the person serving us was arrogant, nasty, and I stated to my Spiritual Sister that I would Never purchase ANYTHING from there again, as I spend 70.00 dollars in the place, and suffered a nasty attitude from the person that was suppose to be serving us, just a Mess! Poor customer service skills!
Well laid out store. Excellent inventory. Staff is always available to help me when I have any questions. Fair pricing.
The workers are so nice and there are so many choices I’m happy I shopped there
Great selection. Knowledgeable staff and welcoming atmosphere. Selection ranges from very affordable to collector stones and gems.
Not everybody has a rock shop like a grocery or barber. And I wont venture to far to presume what makes a good rock shop for everyone. ... but this shop has a regularly renewed supply of spectacular specimens that are moderately priced and the owner is kind and Respectfull. He also keeps a staff that represents him and the store well. It is not close to my home but I find myself here quite routinely.
I love this shop. Its really devoted to rocks, crystals, and gems. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and the selection is fantastic. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, and the energy feels clean and pure.
Wow. Unbelievable stock of rare rocks and polished works of art. The owner is great. Check it out.
Nice selection of rocks and stones. bought beautiful moldavite piece from them. guy working front always pleasant and friendly. nice place
My favorite go to place in Andersonville. Knowledgable staff and long standing supportive community to boot.
Good store and friendly staff. I brought a few gems from them and i was pleased with my items. The store didnt carry a few rare stones that i wanted and i had to order my rare gems from my favorite online store.
The owner shes a great person! Really shes awesome!
Excellent selection of quality gemstones, fantastic prices, and excellent customer service!!
What a wonderful shop. Sweet people. Delicious smells. I can stay in there all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic shop full of fantastic people, energy and of course, awesome crystals, fossils and minerals. Not to mention a great selection of crystal necklaces, wire wraps and other jewelery from local artists. All and all my favorite metaphysical crystal shop on Chicago 🎩
Great staff! I had no idea what I wanted or what I was looking to get a friend for her bday and they were super helpful. Great experience.
I really like this place. Huge selection, with very unique pieces! The prices are surprisingly good- really impressive, considering the stones they carry.
Friendly staff and good prices. Best place in the city and have pretty much been going there exclusively for a few years now since we learned of them when we moved into the nieborhood.
Great staff, quite knowledgeable and a great selection of precious, semi-precious, mineral, crystal and rock specimens. The prices are mostly great, and theres plenty of items to browse.
Great store great employees (yaaay Nick!!) All around great experience
Very cute rock and minerals shop. Have a good selection to look at and pick from.
Exceptional and vast selection of both entry-level, yet good-quality stones, and high-end, exquisite pieces in the display cases under lock and key for the more prestigious and rare-seeking collectors. Aside from a vibrant selection of stones and minerals, they offer an abundance of literature, jewelry, fossils, and mineral/stone-based sculptures, plus much more. Anyone, be they the high-experienced and well-seasoned collector, a beginning rockhound, or just a seeker of treasures or merchandise to behold, should pay the store a visit. Everytime I visit the grand city of Chicago, I make a stop at the celestial crystal shop. The staff members are very knowledgeble, friendly, and helpful. Go see them!
Interesting inventory. Good place to find that gift for someone who has everything.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Wonderful, beautiful selection of jewelry and gems
One of the best in Chicago of its kind for semi precious stones and hand crafted jewelry.
Best rock shop in the Chicagoland area; Hands down.
In addition to the phenomenal selection, the staff is patient and passionate and thoughtful yet time efficient.
Beautiful selection in the care of beautiful people. They have even offered me tea while I shopped!
Nice shop and friendly stuff. A bit too pricey for me.
Wonderful store with helpful people. I will return!
