- The health and wellness trend of healing crystals is booming.
- With so many sellers popping up online, you may be wondering where to buy crystals.
- We found 18 online shops, from established rock emporiums to small Etsy sellers.
Whether you believe in their healing properties or admire their natural beauty, there have never been more places to buy crystals online. But finding high-quality sellers can be tricky. Crystals can pass through multiple hands and be mined unethically in dangerous conditions. Your best bet is to buy from a shop with a short supply chain — ideally, one that deals directly with mines and has cultivated good relationships with its suppliers.
We’ve rounded up some of the best crystal stores online, from established lapidaries selling museum-worthy pieces to sellers of rose quartz hearts on Etsy. Most of these stores sell natural and polished stones, and some offer a whole cosmic shopping experience with sage bundles, stone wands, and other magical tools of the trade. You’ll also find light-hearted gifts, like gorgeous sparkling jewelry and stone-collecting kits for kids.
Spirit Nectar
Marti Gutfreund, the young painter and jewelry maker behind Spirit Nectar, sources most of her stones from Madagascar and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more spectacular collection of crystal spheres and giant quartz towers. She vets her suppliers not just for quality but for ecological impact as well. For every sale, she donates $1 to nonprofit charities that support sustainability and education in the region and has contributed nearly $40,000 so far.
Bedrock Minerals
This Washington-based Etsy seller offers both carefully curated individual crystals and rock bundles. We love the trio of desert jasper, a gorgeous rust-colored rock with white streaks discovered in Madagascar in 2006. Bedrock Minerals gets rave reviews for its fast and free shipping.
Crystabelle Fine Minerals
Crystabelle sources stunning pieces from Peru, like pyrite that brings good fortune and electric-blue azurite that promotes peace. The California-based retailer also offers unique gift boxes and a 12-day crystal advent calendar. The store is also expanding its reach into Brazil, South Africa, and Madagascar to add even more sparkling delights to its inventory.
The Conscious Crystals
We’re here for this California-based site’s enchanting selection of vintage crystal balls and spheres, though there are plenty of other categories. Detailed descriptions of each piece include weight, dimensions, metaphysical uses, and intriguing historical info. Who knew ancient Roman soldiers wore sardonyx rings into battle?
Gazelle Elegante
The stock at this small Etsy boutique runs the gamut from meteorites to geodes to stunning specimens that come in gifting-ready display boxes. The seller has been in the crystal business for 18 years and includes detailed sourcing information for each piece. The handmade gifts are stunning too. You’ll find cuff links made from fossils and stone and beautiful feather smudgers incorporating driftwood.
Desert Sage Crystals
Desert Sage is the spot for those looking beyond the world of polished hearts and moons though they have those too. This Etsy shop specializes in unique statutes, including feathers carved from ocean jasper and aventurine cacti. Our favorites are the rainbow fluorite cats and dogs; the owner is a veterinarian emergency nurse and rescues animals in her spare time.
Jones Mineral Cabinet
Calling all rockhounds, this mineral cabinet is chock full of gorgeous specimens that could rival the displays in a Natural History Museum. Paul Jones, the owner of this Etsy shop, has been collecting for 40 years and has a wealth of technical knowledge. He sources globally so you might find hematite phantom quartz from Morocco alongside garnet from Arizona.
Fossil Era
With more than 4,000 crystals, this is a one-stop shop for all your rock-hounding needs. Diving into the site requires a bit of crystal knowledge beforehand as the stones are sorted alphabetically by name (16 rocks start with “A” alone). Serious collectors will enjoy the extensive scientific information provided for each piece. We love it for the vast inventory and generous 30-day return policy.
The Rock Shed
In addition to an impressive array of crystals, The Rock Shed sells accessories such as display stands and ultraviolet lights to make UV-reactive rocks like hackmanite and aragonite glow. Highlights include gift-worthy polished Madagascar agate hearts, half-moon selenite dishes, and enchanting onyx owls.
Fantasia Mining
This family-owned company owns three crystal mines in the US and closely partners with other mines worldwide to bring their stunning collection to buyers. Check out the colorful crystals sold by the half-pound for an excellent bulk deal. You can also find ready-to-wrap presents like geode bookends, kid-friendly magnetic hematite, and a wonderful beginner rock collection for $30 that includes 50 stones with ID cards.
The Crystal Lion
The Crystal Lion specializes in meticulously sourced, fair-trade crystals and provides an engaging insight into the spiritual properties of its pieces. Auralite from the “Cave of Wonders” in Canada’s boreal forest caught our eye, along with the many rustic quartz clusters. After perusing the crystals, add a few magical extras to your carts, like ethically farmed sage bundles and organic essential oils.
Mother Nature Minerals
Malika Mathis, aka “Mama Minerals,” is the young owner of this well-edited shop where she puts the spotlight on ethical and sustainable sourcing. Rest assured, she promises there are no lab-grown, synthetic, dyed, or fake crystals here. Videos of her statement crystals and whimsical handcrafted jewelry can be viewed on TikTok, where she announces new inventory.
Crystal and Sage
With two locations on Long Island and an online shop, Crystal and Sage ships nationwide and offers everything from nuggets of ancient meteorites to pretty blue Angelite, a recently discovered Peruvian stone that promotes compassion. This shop emphasizes its crystals’ vibrations and healing qualities and will happily guide you to the suitable rock with a quick phone call.
Sun Moon & Earth
You’ll find a stellar selection of new and vintage crystals at this family-run wellness shop on Etsy. Many of the treasures ship for free, like gemstone wands used for massage and crystal towers for amplifying energy. A “purification bundle” with your choice of a white sage smudge stick or palo santo wood comes with quartz and selenite and makes a nice gift for only $14.
Yin and Yang Crystalline
Known for its generous and well-crafted mystery boxes, recipients receive an intuitively chosen collection that may include pendants, stone skulls, bracelets, tumbled crystals, and spheres. The surprise boxes come in various sizes, from small ($25) to XXL ($150), and for fans of mushrooms, there’s a mystery mini “mushie” option as well.
The Psychic Tree
If you’re new to crystal shopping, look no further than The Psychic Tree, which boasts more than 2,000 unique rocks. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, the site’s filters are easy to navigate, with products sorted by price and crystal type. You’ll find dazzling amethyst geodes alongside crystal healing packs to help reduce stress.
David Joyce Minerals
As a seller of minerals for 40 years, David Joyce has devoted his life to rockhounding, speaks publicly on mineralogy, and even composes folk songs about rocks (take a listen on his site). He features rare specimens and provides detailed sourcing information online. Highlights include stunning clusters that promise to be the focal point of any collection, like cool blue hemimorphite and shiny pitch-black fluoro-richterite.
The Gem Shop
The Gem Shop opened more than 50 years ago when crystals were still considered “exotic” by pretty much everyone but geologists. The website specializes in agate and jasper, and the gorgeous specimens here would make a unique gift. You’ll find a wide range of other rocks, from kid-friendly wack-and-crack geodes to beautiful quartz clusters.
