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.
The Spirit Nectar, an Etsy shop, stands out for its spectacular collection of rare natural crystals, many of which are ethically sourced from Madagascar, Indonesia, Namibia, and Brazil. Or consider Desert Sage, which has intricately shaped carvings (think your favorite animals, bodies, and clouds) alongside one of a kind pieces.
The Spirit Nectar/Etsy
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 over $40,000 so far.
Moonrise Crystals
If you’re on the hunt for ethically-sourced stones, Moonrise Crystals is the way to go. The brand is incredibly transparent about the mining industry, doing as much as it can to support fair wages, safe conditions, and Indigenous land rights. The crystals are beautiful, too, with honey-yellow baltic amber and raspberry-speckled ruby fuchsite. You can even search for crystals that match your zodiac sign.
The Conscious Crystals/Etsy
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?
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 over 40 years and has a wealth of technical knowledge.

Desert Sage Crystals/Etsy
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 animals — the owner is a veterinarian emergency nurse and rescues animals in her spare time.
Fossil Era
With more than 5,000 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 category (24 rocks start with “A” alone).

Crystabelle Minerals/Etsy
Crystabelle sources stunning pieces from across the globe, like pyrite that brings good fortune and electric-blue azurite that promotes peace.

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.

The Crystal Lion/Etsy
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 thuya wood bowls 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.

Sun Moon & Earth/Etsy
You’ll find a stellar selection of new and vintage crystals at this family-run wellness shop on Etsy.

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 teal dioptase and hunks of crystal-clear quartz.
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.
