The prices are on point, if not on the more affordable side. They had crystals for $0.50 - $1.00 (not all of them obviously) but the majority of the more "expensive" ones were like $3-6. We will definitely be back!

The merchandise selection is one of my favorites but the staff is the reason why I love coming here. They also have a highly rated tarot reader.

It is well-stocked with beautiful items and books and decor as well as all your witchy needs. The staff were friendly and greeted us but left us alone to look and browse. We saw many interesting items including vulva earrings, wands, crystals, witchcraft books, sage and other items. There is a back area where there are events and classes and all are invited to attend. Their website is very welcoming and the vibe of this spot easily fit into the inclusive nature of the entire West Asheville area.

However, there were signs on every shelf and surface not to touch anything. And that's probably why I didn't buy anything, even though I felt like a kid in a candy store. If I could have put my hands all over everything, I guarantee I would have bought so much! Some very beautiful ocean jasper. (Signs posted not to take pictures of the ocean jasper)

The associates answered all questions with knowledge and eagerness to share it. The crystals were…read morevery cool but the fossils really blew my mind! To me every fossil is one of a kind, so seeing some of the prices for them being so low was insane too! I held a lot in my hands I'm not sure if they changed their rules but another review stated you couldn't hold things. You're definitely allowed to it's just a "you break it you buy it" deal and that's stated everywhere. We asked why we couldn't take pictures of the ocean jasper and they were very open with the reason and it's definitely fair! Ask them yourselves, it's an interesting story. Yeah there are many fossils out there but none exactly like another so as low 5$ you can walk out with a one of a kind piece of history! I got a few little cheaper fossils that were awesome gifts, but I got a giant megalodon tooth and I'm blown away it's an amazing store. I will tell anyone I know passing through NC Asheville or near to DEFINITELY not miss out on seeing what they have to offer.

I am amazed at all the positive reviews. Stopped by for a reading at 3:45. I was going to be a walk…read morein with my husband, toddler, and baby. Based on the reviews I thought this was going to be a "positive place" our kid was not misbehaving and our baby was quiet in her baby seat. We were looking forward to a reading together. We stood outside, upstairs in the patio section and read two signs. One was in front of the door that read "quiet please" which made us believe there was a session in place and another one in the patio saying that it was a quiet space and that no cellphones or loud noises were around. We thought we could wait but I told my husband to go downstairs with our toddler to wait since waiting could make our toddler impatient. So I waited 10 minutes to see if anyone would come out to greet us or tell us the session ended. Told my husband we could wait another 10 minutes to see if anyone would come out. I thought the door was locked since it alluded to someone inside getting a reading. So my husband finally asked me if the door was opened. I never bothered to look so I checked. Door was opened and I walked in. There was a lady on her phone and keep in mind, it's super quiet there. First, she didn't bother to look up or greet me. Second, you could look from inside looking out and she clearly saw us waiting and never came outside to ask us if we needed anything. Because as it turns out, I asked "excuse me, is there a session in place?" She said yes. So I said "do you know when the reading ends?" Since we didn't want to keep waiting. She said "what are you looking for?" I said a psychic reading. She then looks me up and down, and says, "oh sorry I'm not doing any readings today" and then quickly looks at my purse. There was a fake smile at the end. The whole time, I felt an odd feeling. Because she was not friendly. Not welcoming. Didn't bother to check on us. Saw us waiting and didn't even bother to look up when I walked in. So, I can only think 1 of 2 or all of these 2 can be true. 1. she didn't want to do a family reading. 2. She doesn't like Hispanic people. Or she just assumed I had no money. Don't bother coming here.

Hands down, my favorite local jewelry shop!…read more I've been shopping at Elementality for approximately 8 years and I've NEVER had a disappointing experience when it comes to customer service, product selection/availability, and quality. They employ THE BEST people in their shop, as the faces of Elementality. So genuinely kind, personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. I'm often in the shop with my littles, so when I happen to show-up without them in tow, the staff never fails to ask me about them and tell me how much they adore seeing them in the shop. I'm just so happy to say that you get the whole shebang when you shop at Elementality. I highly recommend it. Shop local and support some truly awesome human beings.
