I ran out of Florida water so I came in to grab a fresh bottle plus a tiny palm crystal and smudge stick.

It makes sense that I'd gravitate toward crystals and dreamcatchers; regardless of their genuine healing properties, I can wholly buy into the power of placebo effect. That said, my frugal Asian immigrant upbringing absolutely recoils at the idea of spending hard-earned income on rocks, no matter how pretty they are or how much they're touted to improve one's spiritual well-being. Over the past few years, I've been experimenting with adding in some accessories to my wardrobe. During a visit to Philly earlier this year, I accidentally shattered a cheap hematite ring I'd picked up as a souvenir from Shasta Caverns, and I've been keeping an eye out for a replacement. I spotted a bowl of similar rings -- except they were rainbow-y! -- at the cashier counter here and couldn't resist picking one up. I love how inclusive this shop is: they proudly support Native/Indigenous artists and they're queer-friendly, too. I walked out of this shop sporting warm fuzzies... and some shiny fabulously gay finger bling, to boot.

Very well organized and welcoming :) will definitely come back for more crystals…read morecrystals

I experienced racial profiling at Namaste Crystal Shop, on March 21, 2026, at 2:05 PM. I am a…read moreAfro-Latina woman and was the only Black person in the store. The difference in how I was treated compared to other customers was clear and unacceptable. I was not greeted or offered help at any point, while other (white) customers were. Instead, I was closely watched the entire time I was in the store. At the front of the store, a male employee pretended to organize items but was actually staring directly at me for several minutes while I was looking at incense. I paid attention to see if he was actually working or watching me, and it became clear he was pretending to organize while staring at me. When I called him out, he denied it and walked away. In the middle of the store, while I was looking at the incense you can hand pick, a female employee was also staring at me and following my movements. I purposely moved side to side to see if she was following me, and she mirrored me each time. I called her out, she denied it, and walked away. Still in the middle of the store, when I moved to look at Florida Water, that same male employee continued staring at me from the register. When I asked him for help, he went to the same female employee who had just followed me instead of helping me himself. She told him the answer, and he relayed it back to me, showing he was not knowledgeable about the products yet was quick to follow and watch me. Then I went to the back of the store to look at mala beads, and from the middle of the store that same male employee continued staring at me again. This happened multiple times within about 20 minutes. I confronted him again and asked why he kept staring at me and why I had not been greeted or asked if I needed help. He admitted that he did not greet me or ask if I needed help, and when I had to ask for assistance, he didn't want to help me and was not knowledgeable about the products I had questions about. I went next door to their sister store, Namaste Bookshop to ask for a manager's contact information. The employee was hesitant to provide it and incorrectly said there was no email. When I called the number given, no one answered. In the past, I've shopped here and this never happened to me, which makes this even more disappointing. Based on this experience, I will not be returning.

I can't wait to come back when they get a new shipment.

I've never seen a business, whose employees simply don't care about any customer service or making any sales. it makes your mind wander as to how this place stays in business when I've seen them, lose several sales, including my own, and they simply didn't care.... BTW this is not retaliatory. This is just to give you a heads up of what to expect . They asked me to leave the store because I insisted they return my property to me in total. They changed the story so many times and apparently didn't have all the pieces I had given them. I had to call the police in order to get the pieces back (with the exceptions of the pieces that they no longer had) they refunded the money as well and asked me not to come back... why would I listen horrible service & deceptive practices.

This situation enraged me…read more I may be a witch but I cannot levitate. The "ramp" out front of the store is so steep that anyone who uses a wheelchair is going to tip over. This is dangerous and possibly a lawsuit waiting to happen. Am I wrong to expect some love and acceptance from my fellow embracers of magic? Because there's more than enough room for an appropriate sized ramp here. I ended up sitting outside in the freezing cold for 40 minutes, while friends bought a candle and some other blessed things. Eventually the cold got to be so bad that I fled to a nearby library to defrost. Inside the store are more laughable attempts at compliance, except here half the way-too-steep ramp is blocked by boxes like you've entered a rummage sale. Why even act like you accept people who use wheelchairs? Such inappropriate treatment of our safety is outrageous. Do you want us to fall out our chairs and break ourselves further? Do you want an ambulance to come? Maybe the cops? Cuz when someone does get hurt here I can't imagine this shop is going to survive the payout for the hospital bills. DO BETTER
