Crystal gift ideas we recommend

A hand-picked selection of our favourite pieces. These are the crystals we would choose for ourselves, and the ones we suggest most often as gifts.

How we choose our crystal gift ideas

After more than 25 years of collecting, we know which stones people come back for. This page brings together our favourites across the whole shop, from polished spheres and crystal towers to gemstone bottles, pendants and gift sets. If you are unsure where to start, these crystal gift ideas are a reliable place to begin.

Crystals make thoughtful presents because every piece is different. A small tumble stone or gemstone bottle is an easy gift for a friend, a sphere or cluster makes a striking piece for display, and a gift set gives someone a small collection of their own. Pendants, chip bracelets and keychains are practical ways to carry a favourite stone every day, and they suit almost any budget. For a collector, a faceted gemstone or a larger rough crystal is a gift they will keep on display for years.

Every item is a natural stone, so colour and texture vary and small marks or inclusions are normal. All pieces are inspected before they are sent, and the weights and sizes in each listing come from our own scales and digital calipers.

Still not sure which stone to choose? A gift card lets them pick their own. Delivery is free on every order of $200 or more, and you can pay by internet banking or Afterpay. Browse the full shop for even more options.
