Healing Crystal Vendors

As consumers across the globe seek to renew their focus on self-improvement and spiritual growth in the new year, healing crystals are poised to take center stage. The mystical gemstones, which believers claim carry ambient energy, are being touted by influencers and celebrities from Adele to Kim Kardashian as powerful aids to reach wellness goals. But, as with any wellness trend, critics have questioned whether crystals are actually effective. But that hasn’t dampened demand. Rather, the recent resurgence of crystals has been propelled by an emerging generation that’s drawn to their natural beauty and perceived mystical powers, including a placebo effect. In fact, scientific studies have shown that believing in a treatment can actually alter your perception of the pain you’re experiencing.

As the crystal industry continues to boom, consumers should be wary of some online sellers that may have unethical supply chains. For example, some crystals have been mined in conditions that contribute to human rights abuses and environmental destruction. The shady extraction process isn’t helped by the fact that many mining companies don’t have the required safety equipment, and workers often inhale silica, a mineral compound linked to silicosis.

But, despite the challenges of sourcing, there are sellers that make a clear commitment to responsible practices. Here are 18 to shop from, ranging from rock emporiums that work directly with mining partners to small Etsy boutiques that include detailed sourcing info on each piece.
