These Are The Best Places To Shop For Crystals Online

Whether you’re looking for that perfect gift for your healing crystal practicing friend or more stones for your own spiritual collection, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to choose where to shop. Perhaps you don't have access to a downtown crystal shop, or, maybe, you’re simply more of a “shop from the comfort of your desktop computer” kind of person. Regardless, shopping for crystals online can be convenient and great; however, there are also a lot of scams and misleading ecommerce shops out there trying to take advantage of the flourishing crystal community, which is why it’s important to have a guide to shopping for crystals online.

According to Madison Young, owner of Open Eye Crystals in Los Angeles, shopping for healing crystals in a general sense begins with trusting your own gut and intuition. “With crystals, the point of them is that they have a vibration to help align your energy,” Young says. “Sometimes you walk into different vendors or even different crystal shops and the crystals just feel flat in there — and that’s not how the crystal store should feel. It should feel alive, should feel vibrant.”

In her view, nothing compares to shopping in person for this reason. That being said, if going into a physical store isn’t an option for you, Young says you can still keep a few good practices in mind to make sure you’re shopping ethically and smartly online. In fact, some crystal connoisseurs even prefer buying from online stockists. “Some people buy online to ensure that it hasn't been treated by too many hands,” Young says. “The closer you are to the source, the less likely you are to lose the story of the crystal or lose where it comes from and how it was harvested.”

The best way to ensure you’re shopping from a reputable source on the internet, Young explains, is to do your research. “When you shop online, something you can do is see where the crystal comes from,” she says. “If you're buying a crystal that is harvested in Russia — for example, say, phenacite — and the seller is located in Canada or South America, that just doesn't make any sense.” Good sellers and online shops will disclose where the crystal they are selling is originally from, and it just takes a simple online search to fact check their information. If something doesn’t quite line up, that’s the biggest indicator that you should shop elsewhere.

If you are still unsure about a vendor, Young gives the same advice as she would to someone shopping in person: Ask questions. You can always reach out to an online store, either by email or phone, and ask them directly where they source their crystals from. A trustworthy seller will be both knowledgeable and transparent about their sourcing practices.
