Newtown is home to a kooky collection of gemstone stores, but the standout is the Rock Crystal Shop. It provides a perfect blend of aura investigation and healing through minerals with a no-bullshit attitude.
They don’t pretend to have memorised the meaning of every glistening crystal on the carefully colour coded shelves, but are very capable in guiding you to a gem that will elevate your mood and daily doings. Looking to enhance your endurance, courage and leadership skills? Pluck up a carnelian (red agate) egg with burnt orange and red veins for $35. Clarify your mind and purpose with a clear quartz pendant for $10-$35, or take control of your future with a jade bracelet for around the $15 mark.
Every individual stone across the spectrum will have a different mixture of feel-good properties, so just follow your gut to the right rock.
