Coyote Moon Crystals & Gifts

Coyote Moon Crystals & Gifts has been a Baton Rouge fixture since 1992, located in the Duplantier Place shopping centre on Lee Drive. It is one of the city's best-known metaphysical shops, with a wide range of crystals and stones such as amethyst, rose quartz, selenite, lapis lazuli, obsidian and citrine.

The store also sells handcrafted jewelry, incense and sage, tarot decks, metaphysical books, candles, ceremonial and ritual tools, sound bowls and other sound instruments, statues, dreamcatchers and Native American pieces. Coyote Moon runs classes and offers healing services, and has a membership programme for regular customers.

Hours are Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday noon to 6pm. Call (225) 344-4448 or email info@coyotemoonbr.com.

Lee Drive is in south Baton Rouge, close to the LSU area, with parking nearby. Ask about upcoming classes and healing sessions, and about membership if you expect to come back regularly. With more than three decades in business, it is a good place to ask for advice on choosing your first stones.
