In the world of metaphysical supplies, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of options. When I first set out to source stones for my own shop, like so many others, I tried the big overseas marketplaces—places like AliExpress and Alibaba. There’s nothing wrong with those sites; their model is built on high volume, low price, and lightning speed. But I quickly learned that “cheap” doesn’t always mean “good,” and authenticity can be hard to guarantee.
It wasn’t long before I realized I needed something more: genuine stones, higher quality, and a level of service that feels personal—something only a fellow small business can provide.
That’s when I discovered two American shops that completely changed the game for me:
🌀 World Incense Store (Florida): WorldIncenseStore on Etsy
💎 Amazing Crystals (California): AmazingCrystals on Etsy
What makes them stand out?
Quality: Every order I’ve received has exceeded my expectations. The stones are vibrant, authentic, and clearly chosen with care.
Lightning-fast shipping: They get my supplies to me quickly—no endless waiting, no guessing when an order might arrive.
Free shipping: No hidden costs tacked on at checkout. What you see is what you pay, and that helps me keep my prices honest for my own customers.
Customer service: Responsive, personal, and genuinely helpful. If I have a question or a special request, I know I’ll get a real answer from a real person.
I am deeply grateful for the honest work these shops put in, and for the sense of trust and partnership they bring to this community. They remind me that small businesses can support each other, and that quality and integrity still matter.
If you’re looking for metaphysical supplies and want to support fellow small businesses who do it right, I encourage you to check them out.
Honest work deserves to be celebrated—and today, I’m giving thanks for exactly that.
With gratitude,
Tonya
