Crystal Barn — Local services in Visalia

I have always been curious about this place so today I decided to go in and have a look. I walked In and was not acknowledged! The lady at the front counter was having a conversation with a costumer. She was very loud so it was hard not to pay attention to their conversation . She began to tell the costumer about allowing “people of color” in his circle. He told him that people of color will bring him bad engery and to aviod having them around. She also explained that “brothers” do not have a long life spand! I couldnt believe what I was hearing ! At this point I was questioning whether I had heared her correctly. My coworker walked up to me in shock and asked me if I had heard what she said. She confirmed she heard the same as I. I was disgusted! It sickens me so much I had to walk out. I went in the intentions of looking for crystals to meditate and there was no way that I was going to spend any of my money at this place. The lady did not even acknowledge me and my coworker! Maybe it was the color of our skin. It is your choice if you would like to shop here. But I will not support any local company that discriminates...

Bias against minorities... how do they reconcile such bias with positive energies? Conflicting to have such type of shop and then treat people rudely based on race... won't spend even 1 $ here. Walked out without buying anything. Like she said maybe if I find it on the internet I can show them. Maybe if I find it on the internet, I'll just order it on the internet. I try to support local mom/pop shops when possible but this place I don't plan to recommend or ever...

This is a beautiful store and the shopping experience can be quite mesmerizing. Upon entering in, you are greeted with a wondrous scent of incense. A rainbow of colorful dream catchers seem to float from the ceiling. Gorgeous tapestries line a wall. Rocks, crystals and stones, most cut and polished glisten and beckon your touch. Tables filled with different varieties of incense abound; available in stick, cone and powder. Sage is available here, either packaged or loose in baskets. Candles, predressed or not, are plentiful and available for your spiritual intent. Statues, large and small will captivate you and bring you in closer for further introspection. Gorgeous cards are also available and are worthy of placing in a frame as wall art. At the cashier desk is a jewelry case of handmade earrings and rings. There is always tea and cookies available for the welcomed customer as well as a bowl of candies at the...
