Crystal Heart Books, Inc. — Local services in Hillsboro

Updated review: In the last year the staff here has been replaced and their new staff is amazing!!! Attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and so helpful, I am so appreciative that the owners have listened or read the reviews and made some changes. Because their product selection is extensive and of great quality! Now they have the service professionals to help someone like me that needs to feel the products and assess the energy before making the decision to purchase for my studio. I use crystals and minerals in my intuitive healing practice and as gifts for my healing workshops I am happy to feel welcomed here again 🫶🏻

Old review from 2022-2023: I am an energy healer and I use stones and minerals for my business in my healing sessions. While their selection is great and I have been purchasing products here for the last 3 years. My recent experiences with the staff have been much less than great! The last three shopping trips I have left feeling negative energy and have been disappointed with my interaction. The ladies that they have working at the desk should be helpful and glad to open cases to show the stones that they have to any customer. I am here to purchase and it's simple customer service to help a customer find what they are looking for. But recently two different ladies each with short hair one older and one younger have been rude and short, rolled their eyes been impatient or rushed the whole interaction. It feels like it is a total imposition to them that I am wanting cases opened or products taken out to look at closer or feel the product. I am a 40 year old woman not a child that is going to drop and break things or try to pocket something. I have left with a bad taste in my heart recently of my last experiences it's been a total bummer.

The last two times I have gone in alone I have spent well over $800. I have also sent many clients, friends and family here too purchase. But in the future I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Wishing this business the best as I know everyone has tough seasons.

Light and love your local energy...

Had my very 1st aura picture and reading (picture on the left) right after leaving a discussion that involved a 37 year toxic relationship with a family member.

I had allowed this into compelling me of carrying extremely toxic energy that was very detrimental to my mind and body. I was putting up protective walls (blocking both good and bad from myself ) and in a mindset preparing for all-out war. (Carried this for alot of my life due to abuse in efforts to protect myself)

I am an extremely emotional person... empath/caretaker. I often and too easily put myself last and take on people's energy and carry it as my own.

Even though I had never had an aura done before and knew nothing about it. As soon as I saw the pictures I instantly knew it wasn't good. During the reading it was harsh but very accurate (lots of tears) it wasn't pleasant , but very necessary!

During the reading things were pointed out in efforts to make me see the harm I was doing to myself and those around me. By allowing this to dictate what I would carry, how'd I'd project myself and see the world.

Well, after some massive smudge sessions as well as committing to self care/ importance and good mental/physical health... and because I wasn't going to allow anyone to have that kind of control over my mind,body, energy....

Almost exactly 24 hours later, I was literally healing and felt so much better!

My 5 guides were back.. my aura is in a much healthier place. I feel so much better.

I have spent tens of thousands of dollars for 30+ years of therapy that couldn't do for me what this did in 24 hours!

I still have a battle ahead of me but at least I know when hard situations and people present themselves that I don't have to stay in protective/fight mode all the time.

I share my story in efforts to help anyone who may need to find themselves and let the dark go and let some light in.

Life is finding balance ...it can be wonderful and is what YOU make it!

Have a...

Neat little shop with all sorts of gems/crystals, jewelery, incense, and new age stuff. Didn't initially plan on going in, but Piccolo Mondo was closed. I was walking by with my 5 year old and the Crystal Heart looked, and smelled, inviting. I'm a geologist, and my kid likes rocks (shocker, I know) so it was fun to browse their collection. They have a bunch of really big amazing pieces that are awesome to look at, and plenty if small and affordable stuff as well. Their sales associates were very friendly and helpful, and definitely made us feel welcomed but not pressured. Finally, they are also open on Sundays which is nice (they also informed us Piccolo is open on Sundays from 12-5 now too). I'm not sure why so many places in downtown Hillsboro are closed on Sundays, but it's kind of odd. Makes wanting to venture there on the weekends kind of pointless which certainly doesn't benefit the overall economy and draw to the City core, but that's beyond the scope of this review. In closing, if you like rocks or are looking for neat jewelery definitely check out...
