INSIDE: Worried about how to shop for crystals online? How can you be sure you aren’t getting ripped off? Use these tips and guidelines to make it easy!
Are you looking to dive into the world of crystal healing and you’re not sure where to begin?
This year has been a big adjustment for a lot of people. Walking into a local shop just isn’t the same anymore and many businesses are making the switch to online.
When we shop for crystals, we used to be able to just walk down the street to the local metaphysical store, and ask the owner for information.
Now with everything online, that process can be a bit intimidating. There are so many options to choose from. With just a click of a button we have access to any store we want without leaving the house.
But if you want to know how to buy crystals online, we’ll help you out. We’ve put together an easy guide for crystal-curious beginners to shop online with ease and confidence.
Find out how to answer all the difficult questions that usually go unanswered.
In this guide we’ll show you how to find reputable retailers, how to identify a scam, and everything else you’ll need to know before you start your journey to shop for crystals.
But First…
Before we get into the step-by-step process of how to shop for crystals, you’ll need to have some background information on what you’re looking for.
Crystals are naturally occurring rock formations that can be found all over the world. And with so many varieties and purposes, it can be tricky to figure out what exactly you should be looking for.
We can use crystals to identify, raise, and direct energies to a target source. Knowing how stones work is important in ensuring they’re working properly and that you’re getting the most use out of them.
We can compare crystals to a USB.
USB’s take on, store, and transfer information. Crystals do the same but with energy and vibrations.
Learning how to take care of your crystals is another important step. For example, some crystals like water, while others get rusty or dissolve in water.
Knowing how to care for your crystals will ensure they work to their fullest potential. Take a look at our crystal care guide for more info on that topic.
How to Shop for Crystals Online
Now that we’ve gone over some of the learning curves behind crystals, we can dive into how to buy crystals online.
Don’t Choose the Crystal, Let the Crystal Choose You
This first step is the selection process. Many healers will say you don’t choose the crystal, the crystal chooses you.
While this might be an easier process in a physical shop, the same can still be said for buying crystals online.
When you walk into a brick-and-mortar store and have a look around, you can use your intuition to guide you to the crystal your mind, body, and soul needs.
You can do the same online, but you need some direction since you’re not limited to a certain store.
So before you start browsing the web, consider your intention. What are you trying to harness and manifest. Are you looking for any of the following?
Or are you looking for something else?
Try typing in things like “crystals for depression” or “crystals for fertility” to narrow down your search.
Follow Quality Online Crystal Shops & Healing Blogs
Sure, you can search on Google, but when you find an online crystal shop you like, why not start your search there.
And if those crystal shops have a quality blog, all the better.
Our Healing Stones Blog, for example, provides a wealth of information about crystals. We post articles every week to educate our audience on the wonderful world of crystals and how they can transform our lives.
Don’t Break the Bank, But Buy Quality
If you’re just starting your crystal exploration, there’s no need to go into debt for your new crystal collection, but we don’t suggest buying cheap crystals on Amazon.
Find a reputable online crystal shop that you trust. Read through their About page and see if they offer any information about how they source their crystals.
Here are some things to look for:
- Do they provide a Certificate of Authenticity?
- Do they purchase their crystals right from a mine?
- Do they have a grading system?
- Do they provide information about what to look for when it comes to quality crystals?
- Have they earned any awards?
- Do they have 5 star reviews on their website?
- Do they offer a return policy?
- Do they show videos of each product in addition to photos?
(By the way, Cosmic Cuts can answer “yes” to all of those questions! Learn more about how to choose a geode you can trust here.
Look for wholesalers or honest retailers as opposed to life-style brands and celebrities. They charge a whole lot more for the same products just because of the name attached to it.
And remember, if you’re just starting out, you don’t need rare minerals to have a powerful experience. In fact these inexpensive gemstone collections are a great choice.
