The Crystal Cave
If you like natural stones and fossils and all earthly treasures, do not miss The Crystal Cave downtown Sarasota in Historic Downtown Village. The shop is full of handpicked natural (never dyed or enhanced) stones, crystals, mineral specimens, fossils, jewelry, books, cards, gifts, and more. The Crystal Cave even offers classes and workshops & does special events. The owner Susan Moen was certified to teach Zentangle classes which is meditative drawing.
Susan has loved stones since a kid. She moved from Massachusetts to Sarasota in 2013. When she came to Florida, she left behind the crystal stores she had owned for 18 years. Counting Sarasota’s The Crystal Cave, she is in business for over 28 years now.
“Crystal healing,” Moen explains, “is based on the energy the stones give off. They emanate an energy that comes from their absorption of the Earth’s energy, the magma of the earth,” she says. “We use different stones for different reasons–physical healing, spiritual healing, meditation, intentional purposes, superstition–some people even use them for superstitious purposes, as a good luck charm. But [my crystal healing] is based on science–I use the scientific reasons behind the formation of crystals in my work.”
