GTC Rock Shop 5500 Buckeystown Pike, Frederick, MD 21703

"I absolutely love this shop! Probably one of my favorite places in the FSK mall! I recently bought a moonstone necklace and it's so beautiful and I can feel the energy the stone has! Although it's a bit cold inside I would expect that for a rock/fossil shop. I DEFINITELY recommend visiting this cute shop and I DEFINITELY am visiting again! The staff are always so easy to talk to aswell I love them "

"This is my new favorite store! The selection is amazing and the staff is outstanding. Very unique pieces and a lot of education available. We purchased a bucket and did the flume last night and got a ton of crystals, fossilized shark teeth, etc. and our whole family had an amazing time. I would highly recommended visiting and there’s plenty of exciting things to see for all ages. The geode cracking was a highlight, as well! The more we go the more we discover and enjoy it."

"This is the biggest and coolest rock shop I've ever been to! They have a ridiculous variety and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Check this place out!"

"This place is incredible--a rock hound/crystal collector's DREAM. They have a fantastic selection of all types of rocks, crystals, and fossils. On our second visit I was thrilled to find several UV-reactive specimens that came home with me. They also have a sluice right in the store, and a museum section with some impressive specimens. They just gained some additional space--can't wait to see what they do with it, since it's already a large shop! It was a little tricky to find the first time. It's in a shopping mall and we had to walk through a sporting goods store to get to it. 100% worth the effort, though. We'll be back soon!"

"Not many reasons to go to the mall anymore, but the GTC Rock shop is definitely one of them. Let's start off with the employees. Let's face it. It makes a huge difference to a customer how the employees interact with you. They were knowledgeable and. I brought my 12-year-old daughter with me and she kept her hands to herself but we didn't have anybody breathing down our neck making sure. Next let's move to the merchandise. I'm not much of a geologist but all the rocks, crystals, and so on just look cool. All the displays were well done with the light hitting everything just right. I also appreciated that they had expensive, mid-range, and cheap items for sale. Awesome place and well deserving of a rare five-star rating from me"
