Rocky’s Crystals is great because it’s hyper focused on stones. Featuring small bins and bowls of stones, each crystal has a sign of what the healing talisman is best used for such as Lapis is best for developing intuition and Rose Quartz are best for seeking love. This makes it easy for a customer to find exactly what they are looking for. Whether you are seeking crystal healing or just good luck charm, this is definitely the spot. Not only do they have two Philadelphia locations, but they have three locations in New Jersey: South Orange, Millburn, and Montclair.
