There’s no doubt about it: Greenville is a gem. It’s packed with amazing restaurants, has a vibrant downtown + is surrounded by beauty (Conde Nast Traveler readers seem to think so, too).
But, we’re not talking about those gems. Did you know that Greenville is also home to several local gem, mineral and crystal shops?
Whether you’re an avid rock collector, utilize crystals for their alleged healing powers, are indulging in some witchy business this spooky season, want to don a new statement piece or teach the kids something new, we’ve listed some of the shops that rock for all of the above.
From practical magic to hocus pocus 🔮
Arcane Remedies | Aside from their extensive collection of crystals and stones, indulge in this West Village shop’s bewitching tarot card selections and guides, incense + herbs for your next witch’s brew. You can even sign up for a tarot or oracle reading.
