Just wanted to say thanks! Per everyone's suggestions I found three great places!
Zuzu's Bead (Nasuha, MA), Taproot (in Worcester, MA), and Quartz Source (in Milford, NH). As one would assume, my crystal collection is growing nicely -- and my credit card is getting some use! haha.
I would reccommend any one, and all, of these three places. All were unique to themselves.
I'm glad I posted this thread initially. Rocks rock!
