Open Eye Crystals, Los Angeles, CA

Karila Shannis

With the emergence of so many more new age and crystal shops in the last few years, Open Eye is a standout winner. The store is not too large, and the crystals are arranged so beautifully with succinct descriptions all around. But the interpersonal help with the staff is so valuable. I met the owner during my first encounter and told her that I was looking for highly protective crystals for spell jars. I think because I was there for a little passion project, she seemed to light up and was sweetly eager to help me find the best possible crystal for my jars. She had just come back from a gem show and went out of her way to go to the back and pull out the most beautiful piece of black tourmaline I've ever seen. It was laced throughout with dazzling dashes of iron: extra protection and extra shine?! It's a crystal witch's dream! I've heard the wine and meditation events that they put on once a month for the full moon are very successful events, and I look forward to attending one soon. I'm looking forward to attending their free psychic faire at the end of this month and am delighted to see them expanding their events calendar. These crystals are the real thing, none of that lacquered and tumbled "maybe-its-a-crystal" vibe going on in any of their products. If you're looking for the real deal surrounded by authentic personality, you're coming to the right place!

Best crystal store on the west coast hands down! Madison the owner is a wonderful lady who has cultivated such a beautiful space! The whole Open Eye team is filled with gems! Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable, there is incredible selection of bracelets, specimen pieces and high quality gemstones. Not your average crystal shop, if you’re visiting out of town this is the perfect place to stop to take home a little magic! The website is stocked if you can’t make it in person and visit Instagram for an engaging and lovely online community and live sales that are the highlight to anyones week. I can not say enough wonderful things about this shop, it holds such a special place in my heart. Lovely all around you won’t be disappointed!
