this store is amazing i’ve loved every single thing they’ve sent me. even the most delicate crystals have been packaged so thoughtfully and securely. i feel so much better knowing exactly where these stones came from and that every step it took to get to me was environmentally conscious. i’ve purchased some truly amazing pieces from here and at such great prices, i feel no need to buy things anywhere else!

These are AA-grade Golden Healer raw crystals from Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar, sold by the piece or by the pound. The golden color is natural iron oxide carried on and within otherwise clear to milky quartz. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 7, fully natural and untreated. A favorite healing stone for crystal grids.
Golden healer is clear or smoky quartz with a coating or inclusion of iron oxide that gives it a warm golden tint. The color sits just under the surface of the crystal, so it glows rather than dominates.
Our raw pieces are sourced from Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar.
In the tradition, golden healer shows up most often around gentle, patient care for yourself, a simple anchor during practice, and clarifying what you actually want. It's traditionally linked to the solar plexus and crown chakras. If that resonates, set one on your desk where you can see it during meetings or tough conversations. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Golden Healer sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, harder than a steel blade, so it handles daily carry and a quick rinse without fuss. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 50 grams. About 12 to 20 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
