Salazar St. is lined with various Feng Shui shops and usually, they sell crystals as well. So make sure to visit each shop when looking for crystals at the best value.
Amethyst is very common. Every crystal shop in Binondo has this in display in front of their shops.
This shop is has LOTS of crystals. I think they sell everything you could possibly need, except for high grade crystal jewelry. They put the crystals you picked up in a mesh bag and they charge it with a crystal singing bowl. You have to pick up the crystals in your non-dominant hand.
So many crystals to choose from! Plus points for the convenient containers. Taking photos is not allowed in this shop but I managed to snap one so it’s kinda blurry. Even if you don’t know what you should buy, pick the ones that resonate with you, the ones that get your attention because most likely, the crystals you chose are the one for you.
There are descriptions available for each crystal on display so that may help you as well if you haven’t done your research before buying.
What I got from Feng Shui Charms & Crystal Shop. Two pieces of Labradorite (one for me and one for Neil) and a Citrine. They’re really tiny but of great quality. I got them 3 for 100.
They came in this little pouch.
I found this beautiful Ametrine from World of Crystals. I wanted to buy it but I didn’t have enough cash so I’ll be coming back for it next time if it will still be there. The high grade crystals are placed in front of the store owner so if you want to check something out, you just have to ask them.
World of Crystals is my go to shop when shopping for new crystals to add to my collection. The store is small and you have to squat down when choosing tumbled stones because they’re placed under that glass shelf. Also, you have to move the Jade stools to get the baskets out. Haha. Don’t worry, they don’t mind you moving things around, you just have to be careful not to break anything. The process might be painstaking but it’s worth it because the quality is good and the tumbled stones are larger.
They’re located at 817 Benavidez St. Binondo, Manila. This is one place you should never skip when hunting for crystals.
Binondo is a wonderful place to go. So, while you’re at it, make sure to explore the world’s oldest Chinatown.
