Crystals are stunning stones used for metaphysical purposes since ancient times, known for their healing powers as well as their variety in shapes, sizes, colors and more.

Below are a few crystal shops near me you should consider visiting on your spiritual journey, from mysterious metaphysical stores to unusual rock and mineral galleries.

Astro Gallery

Julio Tanjeloff established Astro Gallery of Gems and Minerals in New York City in 1963 after amassing wealth through construction and mining operations in Argentina. After realizing there was an unmet need for high-end collectible specimens for use as home decorations or office decor pieces among affluent customers, he saw opportunity for growth within this market segment.

Dennis took over after Julio died, reinventing it from retail gallery to global mineralogical powerhouse. He sought to attract serious collectors while curating multi-million dollar collections for top museums.

Today, the company is headquartered in New York City and operates multiple locations throughout the US. They specialize in minerals, fossils, crystals and home decor from minerals to fossils; with global shipping. Their e-commerce division also features as one of their core operations and global shipping is available; additionally they are involved with mining exploration efforts; while their flagship Fifth Avenue store rivals any natural history museum from Boise to LA!

God was alone for all eternity past; outside of Him there was nothing, including circles. However, He knew all things, including circles – they existed epistemologically but did not yet possess ontological reality.
