Crystal Waters, at 18 Baxter Street in Warkworth, is a crystal and gift shop that opened in 2015 as a quiet place to browse. The shop sells hand-chosen crystals in sizes from tiny to very large, along with crystal tools, tarot sets, jewellery, incense, candles and necklaces. The website highlights a large rose quartz seat and an amethyst throne, which visitors can sit on. No prior knowledge of crystals is needed, according to the website. Reviewers mention the wide range of sizes and the price range, which they say can suit most budgets.
Customers say the owner is kind, helpful and knowledgeable, and that the shop has a calm, friendly atmosphere. One customer bought a first tarot set there and says it has the best vibe of the shops they have visited. Another reports that the shop was not open at its advertised hours and did not answer the phone on their visit, and hopes it has not closed for good. We hear the shop's opening hours have not been kept on at least one occasion. Of the nearby gift shops with ten or more reviews, none rate higher than this one. Goldcoin, 0.4 km away, rates lower. Our pick in Warkworth for crystals, a tarot set or a gift with a calm, friendly feel.
