Ology

The owner/employee behind the counter was too busy on what sounded very much like a personal call to greet customers. 'You break, you buy' stickers slapped on every shelf aren't terribly welcoming. Prices are higher than other, similar shops in the area and price labels like '75¢ - $5' without any kind of clarifying information about what determines the price don't elicit a lot of confidence. Dust everywhere makes me question how much the owner(s) care. If you can't be bothered to clean up every once in a while, I'll find somewhere else to spend my money. I had high hopes for this spot, but I won't be back.

A must visit in the Old Sac area! Very, very impressed and feeling grateful I went to this shop today. The men that work at this store are so kind, unfortunately I don't know them by name but they know who they are. Genuine people show in their business and they truly have a beautiful selection of stones and excellent energy and customer service. They were great listeners and were able to help me find exactly what I was looking for at a wonderful price. Keep shining with your positive energy, it really made a difference in my day and I love my new special Azurite. Stay safe and happy holidays!Yelpers: give this place a visit.

This is my go to spot for hand picking a new addition for my collection. The man who opened it is no longer with us but I believe he would be so proud of his younger family members running the Ology show now. They are friendly, have a stellar array of options, reasonable prices & a well of wisdom on the different benefits of each gift from Gaia! Check them out, you will be glad you did!

I visited the store while in town from Atlanta. I'm not an expert but I travel for work and have visited crystal shops across the US and can truly say this one was really special. The inventory is expansive and the prices were MORE than responsible from what I've seen! The owner/manager and his brother were both helpful and hospitable to my family and I. We really enjoyed the experience of looking for our crystals and they were helpful with finding stones with specific properties/ purposes! I really pray this place flourishes. I plan to visit every time I'm in town. Should the guys from the store see this review, THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOU AND WISH YOU WELL

I love Ology!!! The team is so knowledgeable and helpful!!! Their products are great quality and the prices are decent. I am a forever customer!!!

The shop offers hand sanitizer at the front door and all staff members are wearing appropriate PPE! On top of Covid protocols, the selection is huge and there's fun stuff to look at everywhere. I was able to buy my candles, essential oils, and re up on my crystal selection. The owner is very informative and easy to talk to. They have sales sometimes as well! The 50% off table was well stocked and full of really good product. I will be coming back here again in the future

Amazing selection of popular and obscure crystals/minerals. The people working there have always been warm and accommodating, allowing me to slowly stare at everything for like 2 hours. The gentleman that seems to always be working there has been nothing but lovely and his positive attitude that ive seen every time ive been there is infectious!

If you are a collector of, or have an interest in rocks & minerals, this is a fun place to explore for beautiful & unusual geological specimens! This is one of my favorite stores in Old Sac. and whenever we visit old town, Joe and I always end up at this long time established business. I like to imagine myself wandering through this place as if it were a beautiful garden or flower shop, but with displays of colorful crystals, rocks, minerals, fossils & semiprecious stones. Everything catches my eye and beckons closer study. This is a great place to test your knowledge of geology & mineralogy (hence the store's name). The owner is very knowledgeable on every aspect of his merchandise. Ology re-inspired my past rock collecting interest as a child. Now I often look for unique items to decorate my home & backyard. Some items can be expensive, but I'm sure well worth it. Remember, it's not easy to maintain a shop in Old Sac.! Besides rock displays, you'll find a limited variety of New Age & metaphysical items too. This is a great place to go if you make jewelry or just like to collect. Or bring the kids/students for a Geology lesson. Decorating & craft ideas can be endless for the imaginative at this wonderful store!Every time I come here, I can't help but purchase something to add to my rock collection. But that's just me, a rock hound!

Got my first Crystal here, a rose quartz tower. I loved the story of how the grandfather passed on his legacy to his grandchildren. The guy at the shop was so nice and genuine. Will continue coming back!

This place is truly unique and has the most interesting crystals and mineral specimens of any place I've seen in Sacramento. I do wish that there was more of an effort to organize and label everything and make it easier to sift through, but on the upside the current setup makes it feel even more like a treasure hunt. You will find things here that you just won't find anywhere else, and at pretty reasonable prices. They also have a table with 50% off items that always has interesting pieces. I saw that one person gave this shop a one star review because they said their malachite was fake because it turned black when they burned it. This is ridiculous for many reasons. One, you should never burn malachite. Two, if you put any crystal in a flame you will get black soot. This person clearly had no idea what they were talking about. Everything I've seen in this shop is genuine. Occasionally items are mislabeled, but I've seen that happen at practically every crystal shop I've been to. In any case, this is my favorite place to go for unique crystals, gemstones, and minerals. It feels like a well guarded secret so I almost don't want to post this, but the shop deserves more kudos for how great it is.
