Where I can I buy real healing crystals?

[GreenElfWitch]

I'd like to buy a decent set of healing crystals, but the crystals I see in shops sometimes seem to be manmade.

Is there somewhere reputable I could buy a set from?

Boots the chemist

Nowhere reputable sells healing crystals op.

Do you have an ailment that needs treatment? Would you like to share on the thread and we could give tips for that?

No.

Diagon Alley?

Crystals can't heal you.

Colourful rocks don't actually heal. They can provide a helpful placebo effect and they are very pretty to look at. A pharmacy is your best bet for medicines.

I don’t think there’s any conclusive evidence to say that crystals in any form do healing? It feels like a woo con, and usually one that preys on the vulnerable, a bit like so called clairvoyants

Can’t you just buy some medicine?

😄 I'm actually a scientist, but someone I know would like some, and I'd like to get some for her.

I have some crystals that I just like having, it doesn't mean that I'm woo or anything like that.

I'm sorry that was a bit mean. I asked my slightly mad hippie aunt where she gets hers and she recommended Moor Crystals

Nowhere. You can't get a great selection at Marock Bath though.

😄

Yes, I was a bit worried about this as well.

I realise my username is making me look woo as well.

Where is your mate I the country OP? Anywhere near North Yorkshire?

I can point you at an excellent source of sodium chloride if you’re looking to heal a salt deficiency. You can get great lumps of the stuff and in pink if you want it.

No, but I am!

The Crystal Buddha is in Knaresborough. Also a lovely opportunity to visit a gorgeous town - and apparently Kiefer Sutherland is filming a movie there at the moment! Not that I’ve been tempted to go along and stalk him 👀

Is the CB a good shop @JandamiHash?

It’s a ‘proper’ crystal shop, I know people who go mad for it that go there

On this note, I genuinely recommend Epsom salts as a healing crystal, you bathe in it and thereby absorb magnesium through the skin. It's not just good for muscles, there's evidence it can be good for mental health as magnesium is important for nervous system function

Thanks @JandamiHash and @RobinHeartella.

Same shop that sells genuine unicorn turds and chickens teeth.

I've found loads on local beaches.

Yeah, loads of the ones in shops aren’t natural at all. Crystals & Reiki has been reliable whenever I’ve ordered – the quality is miles better than the mass-market stuff and they travel to the countries to collect them.
