About Us

Welcome to Sharpe Crystals! Founded in 2022 by Billy Sharpe. As a University at Albany student, we are a science-driven crystal vendor dedicated to offering high-quality, ethically sourced gemstones while educating our customers about the fascinating world of crystals. Based in the Capital District of Upstate New York, we aim to support crystal collectors—whether you’re just starting out or expanding an existing collection—by providing you with the knowledge and tools to become a more informed and confident collector.

Our Mission: To Educate and Inspire

At Sharpe Crystals, we believe that crystals are not only beautiful but also deeply interesting from a scientific perspective. Our mission is to help you grow as a collector by providing you with the knowledge you need to understand the minerals and stones you’re acquiring. We take a “science-first” approach, ensuring that each crystal we offer is accompanied by accurate, accessible information about its geological properties, origins, and classification. Our goal is to make you a more informed and confident collector, whether you’re seeking your first crystal or adding to a growing collection.

The Sharpe Crystals Approach

Billy Sharpe, the founder of Sharpe Crystals, is an avid crystal enthusiast with a passion for discovering new specimens and sharing them with others. Billy spends much of his time traveling throughout the Capital District, attending local events and flea markets to bring the best crystals to his customers. Whether it’s a rare mineral or a beautifully polished piece, each item in our collection is carefully selected for its quality and scientific value.
