Walmart Witchery

Got this at Walmart today of all places! $10. Two Sage smudges and one “Yerba Santa”?

What’s “Yerba Santa” for? Also, I picked up this really nice glass ‘box o rocks’ at resale:

Any chance anyone can ID the rocks by photo alone? I have pics of each individual crystal.

Neat! Our Walmart here has smudge sticks too lol… it’s crazy how mainstream things have gotten!

From the picture you’ve provided for the crystals, it looks like white quartz and amethyst… but it’s a little hard to see. The stone on the top might be citrine. If you want to send pics of the stones individually, and in brighter lighting, I might have a better time identifying them.

Oh and Yerba Santa is a Southwestern bush that’s burned for cleansing and offerings. A weaker cleanser than sage, but I think it’d be more suitable for daily use because of that. Sage is very harsh to use on a daily basis, imo. :trident_emblem:

Yes, I do have bigger pics, the question is how to upload here without a wall-o-rocks LOL

Going to look at them now…





I don’t have a pic of the plain round white one lower left in box.

I will delete the pics after ID

Awesome!

Ok…

  1. Looks like Purple Phantom
  2. Smoky Quartz, definitely
  3. Amethyst for sure
  4. Hmm… might be a type of moonstone.
  5. Citrine for sure.

Lovely pics! The plain one in the box, if totally white, is likely a type of quartz from what I can tell.

I’m impressed, these look like pretty good quality for a place like Walmart lol. The 4th one, if you turn it in the light and it seems to have either a pearlescent or rainbow sheen it’s moonstone. I’m not totally sure about that one.

No, the stones were from a Goodwill, but same shopping trip.

edited out pics

The Purple Phantom has tiny crystals growing outa it, are they dangerous? What’s it good for?

Ah, I see!

Looking at those other angles, I’m thinking that #4 is plain moonstone.

Purple Phantom is a type of quartz. It’s totally safe, but obviously be careful not to prick yourself or break off those tiny shards when you’re handling it. I’d put it on a little cushion to protect the bottom, and always pick it up from underneath. I have a blue phantom myself!

The purple phantom is the craziest inclusion here - if it’s the real deal, phantom clusters can be very expensive, and generally the darker the color, the more valuable! Mine cost me I think $130 and the base is about the size of my palm

Purple phantom is like amethyst, but with a more grounded energy and an affinity for shadow-healing/shadow-work. Blue Phantom is similar, but it’s energy is more for emotional healing.

(Note how light the coloration is in those examples - your stone is very rare for how dark it is!)

The box is real glass, not plastic, and musta cost good. It’s 6X6X4" It was a no-brainer when the

staff put it on the shelf I grabbed it right up.

Ooh, nice! That was a great find!

The fact that yours is so dark might make it especially attuned to grounding, protection and shadow-work. Crazy. It should serve you well! I love my phantom. :ghost:

Magickal Monday Wren,

Yup, that is my assessment, too (although Purple Phantom I have never heard of), so sounds good to me.

Magickal Monday Sedim,

I bought a lotus tea-light candle holder at wal-mart for $1 and I buy my little tea-light candles there. They burn for about 4 hours, which is great. I make my supplications after I awake in the morning and then keep the candle until it goes out later in the morning.

If anyone knows of this store, 5 Below, wow…you’ll walk in to look, and walk out spending $40 easy. But they have some smudges, spell jars, they have a small occult section in the back of the store.

Gotta go visit the local one. Not been in one for a while, used to get stuff couldn’t find @ $1 :evergreen_tree:

is that kundalini quartz in the middle ?

Sadly I don’t have a 5 Below near me - but I found that section on their website and I see what you mean!

This one is crazy to me:

But this one hurts me on multiple levels lol:

I really need to get back to work! That was a fun little detour though. :laughing:

Cheers. :lotus:

The middle of the 5? Violet inside? Heck if I know, but Wren said “Amethyst for sure”.

You can tell I’m not a big crystal guy, candles are my go-to for most things.

I got a chunk of moonstone for moon water, still need something for sun water?

Heart chakra, and so cute! I wonder if they have all the chakras,

I def buy them all and make a ‘bell xylophone’!
