My Favorite Places to Shop for Crystals : Goodie Goodie Gluten-Free®

Sharing is caring!

I'm not the type to wear crystals in my bra, but in my pocket or purse is an entirely different story.

In any pair of jeans and random designer purses, you'll find clear quartz for expansion, amethyst for healing, and either a black tourmaline warding off negative energy/toxins or a red carnelian for grounding.

These days when I travel grab a crystal and add it to my luggage since a handbag can get pretty heavy with crystals in it.

I add crystals like Rose Quartz, Selenite, and Amethyst in the bathroom when I take Epsom salt baths merely to bring in love (Rose Quartz) to open up my ability to channel energy spiritually (Selenite and Amethyst) and ultimately bring in a wave of healing energy from Amethyst into my healing bath.

I have a beautiful Citrine cluster, Blue Lapis, and Rose Quartz by my bedside and I swear it makes me sleep so much better!

(My prayer: Thank you Citrine for grounding me and thank you Rose Quartz for bringing in so much healing love).

I have quite a few dark grounding stones by my desk to help me concentrate and ground me. The darker they are the more grounding properties they have, and the more they ward off negative energies and toxins.

And lovely dreamy clear Quartz, and Opal on my dresser that I use in Angel Card Readings. Clear Quartz for spiritual evolution and Opal for its mystical properties.

But anything you put belief into will work. Just as if you were into tarot cards, spirituality, religion, numerology, sound healing, reiki, angel cards, or anything else of this nature, it's the belief that carries you and your faith. If you put your faith into it and wholeheartedly believe that this tool can bring in healing vibrations, then it will be able to. That's just the way it works.

Between believing in yourself and believing in the power of ancient crystals that have lived on this earth for Eons, the energetic connection between you and the stone becomes magical.

CHOOSING CRYSTALS:

Choosing crystals is even easier. While some may argue that you must have a particular stone in mind, I choose mine differently. I let my intuition lead me. I understand and value that If I come into a crystal store and the one I wanted doesn't pull me the way another stone does, I always get the stone my intuition guides me to. My intuition usually guides me to pieces that aren't perfect and my favorite types of crystals are clusters and points.

Crystals hold a LOT of energy.

The way to do it is to go to the store and let your intuition lead. Look at everything, touch if you can. Really absorb the energy. Pick up a crystal book and read all those descriptions and properties. And then make your choice or choices. You cannot go wrong, whatever you choose was meant for you.

You can also go into a store knowing what stone you want and two things can happen. Either you get there and realize you no longer want that stone and opt for the stone that is pulling you or you go in and have a purpose to find that particular stone you had set out to find. Either way is not wrong. You will always meet the crystal or crystals that were meant to be in your protection.

Many stones have different properties.

Some stones love
Stones that protect
Stones that give you more of a psychic ability
Stones that help bring healing vibrations into your life
Stones that ground you
Stones that remove toxins
Stones that provide vibes to help you clear and peel back those layers and blocks
Stones that motivate you...

What I love about crystal energy is that these "rocks" have been around for centuries holding in zillions of vibes, and next-level energy. The stone or stones that end up in your hands are because there is a piece of the Universe that you are meant to connect with.

It doesn't matter if you're a crystal newbie or crystal collector, you'll love my little list of go-to places:

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY CRYSTAL STORES

Namaste - Union Square West
One of the first crystal stores I went to when I got "serious" about crystals and angel cards. I was led there. It was my beginning, but also my home. Prices are expensive because it's a huge tourist spot for having you guessed? Crystals! But still a steal for New York City prices. I love the smell in there and you can feel free and explore the store in complete comfort.

Rockstar Crystals - Chelsea
When you walk into this place it will feel like you're in a pirate's cave of crystals. They are everywhere! And it's like a treasure hunt finding all the pieces you're going to fall hard for. The further back you go, the more you'll find. It's actually where I found my favorite piece of Citrine which is part crystal points/part cluster/part rock. It's by my bedside to help me sleep, and I swear it works well!

Most of their pieces are from Brazil, but mostly all over the world. The owners are collectors so KNOW that this place is on the pricey side. It's still so worth going because the store is just stunning.
Small/medium pieces: 40$-$68. Be prepared to spend at this store.

Astro Gallery of Gems - 5th Avenue
For an in-store history of crystals and a showcase of crystals experience, you need to go here! bring your wallet, it's like walking into a museum of crystals. Many are behind closed glass doors, and many you can just touch. The store is huge ranging from tiny pieces of jewelry to the largest crystals you've ever seen that are so stunning you're going to want to take pictures of every piece! There is so much to look at.

Pieces are expensive, $80 and up
Pieces are found around the world, and mainly in Brazil
Pieces and collections are unique in shape, size, personality of the stone, and where the stone comes from.
Prepare to spend time at this store
Serious quality

TEXAS:

Moon Child Minerals
This is one of the two shops I have continued to purchase crystals from, for years! She has a lovely shop on Etsy, and sells all kinds of crystals from points, clusters, bracelets, and slabs, to raw pieces, shapes, and spheres. Her price point is just as beautiful as her packaging, and she has great sales. Hit up her live shows on Instagram.

Crystal Phase Shop
While I adore physically shopping at crystal stores, I know I am getting stunning quality from this Etsy shop. This crystal place has a lovely little collection of points and shapes at very reasonable prices.

MASSACHUSETTS:

Kripalu Gift Shop
Because duh right? You know if you're at a Yoga Retreat Center that the crystal shop is going to be on point AF. And it was. So many beautiful pieces mainly black/white Jasper, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz, Tourmaline, and Amethyst. The vibe is a beautiful healing vibe the experience alone at this store is stunning. You get to sample playing sound bowls, and get readings. You could get "lost in love" in that store. (Air Supply quote for any of you music trivia buffs)
