Very cool. I did not know the Amethyst crystal had such good qualities, I need to cop me one. Do you recommend any stores that sell good quality crystals?

I'm in LI, so I go to shops around here. I don't know any in BK, but I did find one once i think off of 31st between 7th and 8th? I can't remember the name of it, I think I picked up a card, I will search for it and let you know.

Dreamsun was telling me there is a great shop off of Christopher Street, I will have to ask her for the name.

Satori told me about Stick & Bone on Christopher Street a while back and I absolutely love it!!! I think the address is 189 Christopher st.  There's this lady that works there and man she amazes me everytime she opens her mouth, I always learn something new about crystals and metaphysics by eavesdropping on her convos with other customers.
