Oh..my...GAWWWWD y'all! First let me say that I am rather new to the world of crystal healing and refreshing my knowledge of herbs. I was looking for metaphysical shops in the area that were all-in-one and *thought* I failed. Looking at the alchemist den website really doesn't do this little gem justice. I did find a good variety of herbs however I thought I'd have to go to another shop in Atlanta for my crystals. I don't know where to begin I'm so excited to have a place like this closer to home. I travelled from out by Carrollton and would absolutely do it again (and will!) Before I even walked in I had this sense of calm, and I knew I'd accomplish a lot by my walk in. Chas and the other girl there were SUUUUPER helpful and quite friendly too. I'm a big introvert and usually peruse a store forever to find what I want before I ever dare ask for help but they were so welcoming. Not only was I able to explain to Chas what I was trying to accomplish but both of them took the time to look through my crystal collection to identify them for me and tell me what they are best used for. Now, selection. I knew I would be able to get herbs but their selection was way more diverse than I thought! They had a variety of herbs, sage sticks, incense, jewelry and *drum roll* CRYSTALS!! What's even better is the fact they took the time to write up little cards you can take for each crystal identifying what it is and a little about it. I thought I was done shopping until I took a second look and found more stuff. This, folks, is why I can't go nowhere. Lol. Not only did Chas save me a trip to Atlanta but I found a new home away from home. I'm actually trying to come up with an excuse I can tell my boyfriend so I can go back like asap. Now I'm sure you are probably wondering about price and yes there are some shops that sell the crystals/stones a little cheaper but this is a one stop shop. You don't have to drive to other stores for your other needs. The other stores I scouted didnt sell herbs and other products offered here. Another thing is location..I don't think we have anything else like this out here in west Georgia so you are saving that time and gas also..it's not that much more either. I believe I found the crystals for, on average, $2-4 elsewhere and here maybe $1-2 higher so you are still saving. I TOTALLY recommend the alchemist den. It's a whole vibe. read more
