The Beaded Tortoise

A main tenant of obtaining metaphysical and mystical items is that they have to have a positive energy to start with. This whole store is plagued by the negative energy of the staff, and I don't know if she's the owner or just an employee, but the older woman I dealt with was not kind nor was she joyous. She had a spirit of distrust and greed and was far more determined to sell you something, anything, than the product you may be looking for or need. I left the store, never to return, after she scolded by autistic child for daring to touch a rock. And this was after she scolded her for touching a tester. This is not a business I want to promote and they really should readjust how they deal with people.

I’ve been frequenting Mother Earth Gallery for a little over 3 years now and I’m not exaggerating when I’m saying my first trip was love at first sight. Sadly, metaphysical items have become “trends,” with shops focused on selling manufactured crystals and commonplace knickknacks without true substance. That’s absolutely the last thing you’ll find at Mother Earth. Leslie knows her stuff. She’s been in the business for years and prioritizes quality from stunning high-grade specimen pieces, palm stones, spheres, “beginner”pieces, and the most DIVINE gemstone jewelry on the market. Did I mention she prioritizes working with local artisans to showcase their amazing works? You can literally shop with any budget in mind and know that you’re getting a special piece. And last but certainly not least, if you’re choosing Mother Earth for your crystal needs, you’re also choosing an AMAZING staff! Leslie, Jen, and Maria are all incredibly passionate, caring, thoughtful, and loving beings. They see the beauty in their craft and take the time to really work with you to help answer your questions and foster your knowledge and growth. If you’re in the New Milford area, do yourself a favor and stop by Mother Earth—you’ll surely be mesmerized by this incredibly special place .

You just gotta go!! The owner is just a delightful sprit and the range of crystals is just stunningly beautiful. However these is still just so much more than just crystals. My husband and I stopped in on our date night and they did not disappoint. We left there feel light and warm. Great shop all around fantastic.

Beautiful shop. Knowledgeable staff. Zero pressure sales people. When I got home there was a personal Welcome to our store note in the bag and an unexpected surprise...a gift! They really pay attention, my gift was my favorite stone!!!! Well done!!!!

This place is wonderful, the stones are gorgeous, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I've purchased several uncut geodes, and many pieces for my collection of minerals and crystals here.

Oh I went for the very first time to buy a gift for my aunt and I absolutely adore it! The ladies at the shop are angles! The owner picks the handpicks the crystals and they are to die for! Love it!

Customer service is amazing!!! Very knowledgeable staff. Great selection.

Went for the first time and can't wait to come back! The ladies working were wonderful and helpful. The shop had great vibes all around. The prices were super reasonable and there was a large variety of tumbled and rough crystals. The shop had candles, incense, and essential oils as well.

I love their stuff. I'm fairly new to crystals and to Mother Earth storefound them last yr They're awesome. They answered any n every question I had. Their inventory is phenomenal, in that they carry so much AND their stuff is gorgeous! I totally recommend

Amazing little shop right on the main road once you get into New Milford. With amazing prices and a wonderful staff. I can always find different items every time I go because they always bring in new crystals or jewelry that I absolutely love. Their ring section gets me every time, and I can always find the perfect little gifts for a special someone, and they beautifully gift wrap it for you.
