More Than Just a Shop
We're Minerals & Mystics, located in Charlottesville's Seminole Square, and we're here to make holistic, metaphysical practices accessible to everyone. Our shop is filled with ethically sourced crystals, sterling silver jewelry, incense, candles, and spiritual tools for both newcomers and experienced practitioners. We also offer tarot readings, crystal workshops, private parties, and professional jewelry cleaning services that go beyond retail to create real connection and learning. Whether you're browsing our collection or booking a service, you'll find a space that feels welcoming and genuine. If you'd like to learn more about what we offer or book a service, get in touch via email or call us—we'd love to hear from you.
Access, Support, and Connection for Everyone
We believe that crystals, knowledge, and connection should be available to everyone, regardless of budget or background, which is why we've built our shop around accessibility and inclusion. We're creating ways for people to explore, share, and sustain their crystal practice without financial barriers. We're committed to supporting our community and the people who choose to practice with intention and care.
Built on Authenticity and Real Experience
We aren't just a shop—we're a bridge between retail, education, and community, built on genuine care for this work. We've continued the heart and spirit of The Crystal Connection, which has served Charlottesville since 1987, while bringing our own vision and values into everything we do. From hand-selecting unique pieces to offering workshops and services, we're committed to building something that feels authentic and meaningful. This isn't about trends or profit—it's about showing up for the people in our community and honoring the practices that matter to them.
