Inside the Jaisalmer Fort in
Rajasthan, on the way that leads to the Jain temples, there is a fascinating shop called Light of the East. It sells at least forty different kinds of crystals, semi-precious stones and rare mineral specimens such as zeolite, at a wide range of prices. The qualities and healing powers of each will be explained on request. One can also look at a huge piece of apophyllite which would cost a fortune, had it been on sale.
The shop has a branch at
Manali, in Himachal Pradesh.
