Crystals have long been used for healing and wellness practices. While adding beauty to any space, quality should always be prioritized when purchasing crystals.
Look for sellers who take great pride in sourcing and display genuine photos of the stones they sell to avoid misrepresented pieces.
House of Intuition
Orange County’s premier metaphysical shop for purchasing high quality crystals. If you’re seeking love, luck, or clarity this store has just the stone for your needs – their crystals, candles and dream catchers support physical, mental and spiritual well-being alike!
This Black woman-owned business provides ethically sourced raw and tumbled crystals as well as carefully curated starter sets designed for things such as abundance and self-love. In addition, they provide free education on their website.
Moonrise Crystals is widely recognized as the go-to source for ethically sourced crystals, adhering to eight guidelines that include tracking all stones back to their mine of origin and creating a “don’t buy” list for problematic regions and paying fair wages. They even offer subscription moon boxes ideal for any crystal lover (Lisa Vanderpump, Anne Hathaway & Will Smith are fans!)
Spirit Nectar
No matter your beliefs about crystals’ healing powers or simply appreciation, these shops can supply your needs. Ranging from established rock emporiums to smaller Etsy sellers, each ethically sources its crystals directly from mines for long-term relationships and sustainable sourcing practices.
Spirit Nectar offers collectors everything they need in one convenient spot, with items organized alphabetically by name (16 rocks begin with “A” alone!). Additionally, there are curated bundles (such as desert jasper, which is known to promote self-esteem), as well as accessories like crystal-shaped bookends and kid-safe magnetic hematite. Crystabelle offers an expansive inventory spanning from good luck-inducing pyrite and electric-blue azurite gemstones all the way through intuitively curated mystery boxes including pendants and tumbled crystal spheres – with all prices including free shipping.
Bedrock Minerals
New York City may be known for its diamond district, but many Manhattanites tend to overlook its abundance of crystals and minerals that exist deep below. This Etsy seller provides rare specimens ranging from bright blue hemimorphite to pitch-black fluoro-richterite as well as carefully selected rock bundles and individual stones including gift-worthy Madagascar Agate Hearts and Half Moon Selenite Dishes that would make an excellent addition to anyone’s collection.
Bedrock Minerals offers an expansive selection of minerals, from rare varieties such as lepidolite and violet lithium mica, to jewelry-grade gems like corundum (sapphire & ruby) which makes up many fine jewelry pieces.
Curiosity recently visited a location on Mars where it discovered sedimentary bedrock with crystals similar to those seen in Maine geology layers. These crystalline features serve as new evidence for long-lived habitability on Mars; iron oxide oxidation states may influence solubility or transport of water, creating battery-like energy gradients exploited by certain forms of microbes.
Desert Sage
This shop showcases ethically sourced crystals from around the globe. We especially admire its selection of citrine palmstones that are Reiki activated and instilled with rose quartz to bring love, compassion, and joy into your life.
This small family-run shop provides an outstanding collection of crystals ranging from eye-catching geodes to healing sage bundles, with emphasis on providing detailed sourcing information and explanations of each rock’s properties. You’ll even find gift-worthy specimens like polished Madagascar agate hearts or half moon selenite dishes for purchase here!
Sage is an aromatic medicinal plant used by various cultures for purification and healing purposes. To use a smudging bundle, simply light the tip of a stick until it glows before blowing out any flames and wafting smoke with a feather over yourself or an object – this is an effective way of grounding yourself or shifting unwanted energies away from yourself or another. Each bundle comes lovingly parceled. Please take caution when handling lit smudge sticks.
