Gemstones & fossils

Our Spiritual shop in The Hague is open by appointment – read more here. To have something send to you is also possible.

Quality and care
We opened our spiritual shop in the Hague in 2003. Since then our collection of gemstones, minerals and fossils gradually grew. As a result, our shop has primarily become a gemstone shop. From the very beginning we chose gemstones of good quality. A number of things are very important to us. The gemstones in our store must be of high quality and in good condition. This makes them not only very beautiful, but you can also feel the difference. In our spiritual shop you will only find gemstones and fossils that have been personally selected by us. With love and attention – stone by stone. If you wish, we can also select the suitable gemstone for you through a muscle test.

Natural and real
In addition, it is very important to us that gemstones are natural and genuine*. In our spiritual shop you will only find gemstones that were created in nature (in a process of many thousands to millions of years). So no lasered, painted, man-made, programmed or synthetic gemstones and no glass, plastic, etc. For gemstones and fossils that are more likely to be counterfeited than others, you will receive a certificate of authenticity from us. * Genuine also means that we don’t sell non-existing gemstones in our shop. Such as Andara Obsidian / blue or green Obsidian (is colored glass), Rainbow Amethyst or Aqua aura (is Chemically treated / destroyed). In our shop you also won’t find gemstones with invented names. These are used by traders to attribute special effects to cheap gemstones. These are then sold very expensively (for example Azeztuliet which is simply white quartz).

Fair origin
Not only quality and authenticity are important to us. That is why we only sell gemstones and fossils of fair origin in our spiritual shop. This means that they have been taken from the mountains and such with attention and respect for nature. And also that the working conditions and wages for the people are fair. To take it a step further, we do not sell gemstones in our spiritual shop from areas where the proceeds from the gemstones may be used for war or unfair competition. (and for those who would like to know: these things were all checked by the Triodos bank (conscious bank) before we were allowed to open our account there).

Many kinds and shapes
Spiritual shop ‘de Oorsprong’ in The Hague is a small and cozy shop where, even though it is not a very big shop, you will find a large collection of gemstones. Of most kinds we offer rough and polished (also called tumbled stones or comfort stones) gemstones and pendants. Of many kinds we also have spheres, eggs, sliced pieces, bracelets, donuts, lace pendants and jewelry.
On the page collection Gemstones & Fossils you can find an overview of the gemstones, minerals and fossils we normally sell in our shop. There is always a possibility that we have added new gemstones to the collection which are not yet mentioned on our website. So if you are looking for a gemstone that is not listed here, please contact us by phone.

An impression
To give an impression of the gemstones and fossils we sell in our store, you will see a number of photos at the bottom of the page. This is a selection of our offer. Purely to give an impression (Note: the colors in the photos can vary greatly per screen). When you purchase a gemstone in our spiritual shop, you will receive a card with the effect of the stone if you are interested. On the page discharging and charging gemstones you will find extensive information on how you can keep the gemstone in good condition.

Muscle test
There is a Dutch saying that can be translated to: ‘what does not benefit, does not harm’. This does not apply when it comes to gemstones because some of them are certainly not suitable for everyone. Therefore we can do a muscle test at our shop to check whether the gemstone you would like to buy is suited for you or not (and, if you know the person very well, the person you would like to buy the stone for). Even if you don’t know which gemstone you would like to buy or wear yet, the muscle test can indicate which gemstone is most suited for you for the coming period of time in your life. By letting us do a muscle test with you, you can prevent buying a gemstone that will have a weakening effect on you. Naturally, the type of gemstone you pick remains your choice.
When you buy a gemstone from the shop, the test is free. If you would only like to have the test done without buying a gemstone, the test will cost € 5,=.
