I frequented the Bookshelf on Featherbed Lane for decades and found the change over of ownership to…read morebe smooth. When I learned they were moving the store downtown I was elated. I live walking along the Loudoun street mall and soaking up the history. The store is well stocked with anything a Witch will need to practice their Craft. Prices are what one might expect, they have to pay premium rent for their location so keep that in mind when you visit. All in all a great store, a bit cluttered, but that is minor. Say hello to the cat, he expects it, but let him alone after that. The owners are very knowledgeable, but not the best in conversation which is the best, it means they aren't trying to sell you something. Enjoy your visit, you're drawn to go in for a reason

First time at this shop and it was a great experience. I've been to a few other crystal shops in…read moreNorthern Virginia but I must say this one was really impressive. The actual shop is located inside of a bigger building where other businesses rent out suites. It's really not that difficult to find if you read the signs correctly (go in through entrance 3). Once I arrived, the staff there immediately greeted me and the energy inside was very welcoming. They have a pretty large selection of crystals from huge massive pieces to small tumbled stones. They also have other things for sale such as jewelry and crystal/chakras/affirmation reference charts. Compared to other shops in the area, they do offer a lot more for sale. I will say that the crystals are a little bit on the pricer side at this shop. They also had incense for sale but no incense holder/ash catcher which is what I was looking for. Other than that this place was great.

He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Kids can see geodes cracked in shop (after they buy them, of course!) and there's always a nice selection of natural specimens at all price points.

What a quirky gem of a place to take out-of-town visitors if they are looking for a memorable and…read morerelaxing experience. You might know that Berkeley Springs is famous for its healing mineral spring waters. After a visit to to the spa, stop into the Salt Cave (reservations required, and they book up, fyi!) for an EXPERIENCE. You'll be scooted into the salt cave room, with lowered lights, soothing music, and a meditative video that explains the healing powers of the Himalayan salt. The session lasts 50 minutes and they run one each hour, so be sure to show up early to sign the waiver and get your pair of souvenir socks you'll wear in the cave right over your shoes. On your way out, stop in the gift shop for goodies such as jewelry, soaps, and more. If you are curious about the benefits of halotherapy (the inhalation of dry salt air to promote respiratory health and overall wellbeing), I'm sure the owners of the Salt Cave would be happy to talk to you.

Prices range from expensive ($100s for petrified wood) to about $5,00 for dyed Agate. They have a flume that operates during certain hours. I wasn't there for that but it looks like it could be fun.

It looked pretty small when I entered, since it does share a space with a yoga studio. That aside,…read moreeven before I noticed that the shop actually spans the entire hallway adjacent to the yoga spaces and a small area in the back, I was already enjoying browsing the jewelry and small stones near the entrance. The shop has several different sizes of Tibetan singing bowls, stained glass home decor, a wide selection of tarot card decks, some apparel, and more stones in the back area. My nephew selected several small stones and was super happy when the clerk let him choose from a bunch of decorative pouches to store them in when we checked out. All in all, it's a cute shop jam packed with stuff for crystal enthusiasts, so I'd definitely go back. Note: Don't look for the name on the marquee because only the yoga studio's on there (Samskara Yoga and Healing). It's easy to miss if you're moving quickly, but it's right next to a swimming school--which is not as easy to miss. Enjoy!

The store is right next to Cubasi in the wegmans shopping center! Bought some really pretty crystals and they offer some nice classes! Everything is fairly priced and all products are ethically sourced and fair trade! Also super Covid cautious which is nice! Samskara and Pawsitive Angels (for owners and pets) are within the same building! Support this local business!

After exploring the caverns, we walked across the street to the Heritage Village where they have a…read moremuseum, small restaurant where you can also buy some Luray wines, the gem sluice, and some other buildings we did not explore due to an approaching thunderstorm. I've seen gem sluices other places, like Myrtle Beach, but never understood the appeal. We were traveling with a 7-year-old this time and his mom really wanted him to experience it. I remained unconvinced until his father started to help him pour the sand into the sieve and the geodes started to appear. Jeremy has recently embraced his love of amethyst and had just bought a geode at the gift shop at the caverns for some crazy amount of money ($65). Our 7-year-old friend came away with one on his first batch, which was nowhere near what Jeremy had spent. Lesson learned, I'm doing the gem mining first, if Jeremy ever starts talking about expanding his rock collection. Our friend also came away with a variety of other gemstones and some sharks teeth. In his second batch of sand, he got another amethyst and the most gorgeous white quartz geode I have ever seen. It was such a fun experience. NOW I understand the appeal. Would recommend.

After a long day of walking through mazes, climbing…read moreon the rope adventures park, then walking through the caverns, this was a perfect endcap to our day. The mining sluices are part of the Heritage Museum. It was really cool with bits of information about the history of the whole Luray area, from pre-historic, to the pre-colonial, to today. Sadly, we showed up about 10 minutes until close, so they encouraged us to move towards the mining sluices and we were able to operate the sluices after the shop and museum closed. So we bought our bags (for a reasonable price) and got to sluicing! A small bag per child was perfect. The kids got through everything in 5 minutes and then had their pretty clean gems to take home. A perfect amount of time for the kids and little prizes to take home. Definitely don't sleep on coming here!
