Hey, I'm new to this but I would really like to buy crystals to start a collection but I don't know where to actually buy them. I've looked on Etsy but the majority of things are like in jewelry form and I don't think that would work well for witchcraft? So I was just wondering if you had any recommandations. Thanks so much!
I buy off Etsy, it’s just a matter of finding the right sellers that don’t specialize in jewelry. Just gotta be clear in your search what you’re looking for - raw points, tumbled stones, and the like. It does take a bit of browsing sometimes, but there’s stuff there, I promise.
Also, actually, crystals in jewelry can be very useful in witchcraft - you can enchant the stone and wear it everywhere, discreetly. Boom, magic. I feel like that otter from Animal Crossing. But seriously, crystal jewelry can become portable, low-key spells for a lot of purposes, particularly if you get quartz points, because they amplify anything put into them.
Here are some Etsy stores that have been recommended in the past:
[Zaraluna] - I recommend this one, I had dealings with this shop before, and the owner is lovely! I’m glad to see they’re off hiatus now ^^
Here are a few that seem alright to me, but be sure to read reviews and compare prices regardless:
[Fall Hill Bead and Gem] (this seller also sells beads, which means the crystals would be drilled with holes, if you don’t want that, be sure to look at the listing carefully, but they do have regular crystals there)
Here are a couple other non-Etsy stores:
[Bekkathyst] (they have [a blog on Tumblr] too)
