Crystals are revered for their healing, transformative and magical powers. If you’re searching for one to enhance your life, check out one of these local crystal shops.

Eternal Circle

This store in New Paltz serves as the headquarters for Church of Eternal Circle, a federally recognized Wiccan religious community, but customers from all walks of life shop here. They provide 130 kinds of crystals organized by chakra to help people discover their own power source.

The circle symbolizes infinity and the spiritual world beyond; many paintings feature circles which seem to symbolize this spiritual realm.

Circles hold deep symbolism across cultures. In Buddhism, circles represent the cycle of birth and death. Brazilian Candomble circles serve to unite communities while paying homage to ancestors through vibrant rituals. And the latest album from Vancouver experimental shoegaze band La Lune features Everything is a Circle as a poignant reminder that life is an endless journey that needs to be respected as such a cycle is truly beautiful and powerful force in this world.

Dancing Hands Jewelry

Dreaming Goddess, located nearby Vassar College, offers quirky gifts you’d expect from any hippie-themed shop – featuring a large amethyst geode from Brazil shaped like angel wings that sells for $9,000. However, its main function lies in education rather than retail sales.

Crystal Connection

Crystals are often believed to possess natural energy that promotes physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Although scientific proof for their healing properties remains lacking, these stones have long been included as part of alternative medicine practices – Lapis lazuli, carnelian and smoky quartz being some of the more popular healing crystals.

Crystal Connection in Wurtsboro is an undiscovered treasure located within an 1890s Methodist church. Filled with rows of rough and polished crystals organized by chakra, as well as offering smudging tools, tarot decks and other metaphysical essentials, it makes an impressive sight!

As is often the case when selecting crystals for specific uses, selecting amethyst as your healing crystal may help with balance and relaxation while citrine can promote motivation and spiritual development. To ensure your crystals have the appropriate energy, regularly cleansing with water or placing under a full moon may help cleanse their energy as will setting an intention while charging them to strengthen their power further. Finally, when making your selection be sure to hold each stone before making a decision as the right crystal may “talk” to you; listen for its message!
