A quaint and peculiar little shop located on Main Street in downtown Blue Ridge. We were wandering around and decided to pop in Silk Road Traveler. This store certainly has an energy to it, one we unfortunately did not vibe with, so our visit was brief. They cater to the energy-centric folks with shelves filled with stones, incense, crystals and more. Additionally, they do a variety of readings on-site. We made a quick lap through the full store and sadly none of the three associates spoke or acknowledged us at any time. Overall, Silk Road Traveler is not my thing, but I can see it being attractive to others.

Was my fourth time going in since moving up here in august and I absolutely love it! I walk up to it when I get off work and just the whole vibe relaxes me. The people there are great even tho people complain ab the older lady staying close by. I believe it’s just bc nothing in there is a toy and she wants to make sure you’re properly educated on what you’re buying. I recommend this place to everyone in my hometown!

My younger brother and I came in here to simply look around. I’m really into crystals and since my brother is younger then me, he likes to follow my lead. The whole time we were in there, there was a lady (I’m assuming the owner from the other reviews) and she kept staring at us as we walked around. There was little drums that had a “be gentle” sign next to them with the sticks to play them so I very lightly did. As a 16 year old that has always been gentle, I can say I was not loud at all. My younger brother did mess with a wind chime in another room and I grabbed him and pulled him out telling him not to do that and before we knew it, the lady ran back there and just stared at him while following us up front. We continued to walk around with her following behind to eventually have her run up to us and say rudely, “where are your parents. you have to be 18 to be in here because of the cbd products.” There were no 18 and up signs outside of the place and they did have cbd signs up but I had no idea we had to be 18. I informed her I was 16 and our parents were up the road and she rudely stated that my brother and I had to leave. I bought nothing and I’ll never be going in here. If she kindly came up to us in the first place and informed us, I probably would of been much more understanding.

You can feel a shift in energy when you walk into this place. Good vibes and great prices. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and great to chat with. They have every crystal or stone you could imagine, wind chimes, books, sound baths, jewelry, etc. highly recommend this place, even to walk around and get some positive energy for your day! Thanks for my malachite necklace and the chats! "Chicken nuggies and good vibes"!

The owner of this store is judgmental and rude. My two sons and three of their friends went in the store to look around. She asked a couple of the boys how old they were and then proceeded to follow them around everywhere. My son overheard her accuse one of his friends of stealing from her a while back. I called the store and spoke with the owner. She said that the boy did steal from her a year ago. She still believes that! I made sure to let her know that all of the kids that came in her store are over 18 and that they do not steal. The one she accused of stealing has never even been to BR before! I said “but you are okay with them buying from your store-right?” She said that they could come back by and she would give them a full refund. I ended up hanging up on her because she was such a “Karen” and could not be reasoned with. I do not recommend this store to anyone!!! Reading the other reviews makes me feel vindicated.

One of my favorite shops in Blue Ridge! I stop by almost every weekend. Huge selection of crystals, incense, candles, jewelry, etc….. and I LOVE their collection of books. The employees are always so wonderful, and eager to share their knowledge. Definitely have to stop in if you’re visiting!

This is a lovely place to visit with tons of crystals, crystal jewelry, candles, incense, books, wind chimes, and more. My husband and I spent four days in Blue Ridge and I liked it so much we shopped here twice! They have great prices too. I looked at some of the books they had for sale on Amazon and Amazon was several dollars higher. Staff are friendly and helpful.

I was on a mission to find my Lemurion quartz crystal and the young gentleman that works there is full of knowledge. They are all wonderful people there

This shop is wonderful in every sense of the word. The staff is amazingly knowledgeable, I learn something new every time I go in there and they are all joyfully nice and polite. The shop has just about anything you could want for a wide range of spiritual practices, from all types and shapes of crystals to books on everything under the sun. They have statues and decoration pieces, really unique knickknacks, handmade native American decor, authentic mala beads, singing bowls of all sizes and so much more. Unlike other shops I've been too Silk Road has less of a witchy vibe and more of an eastern mystic feeling, though if you're looking for candles or a smudge stick they have them along with other ceremonial pieces. A definite must see shop if you're in downtown Blue ridge and want to experience one of the most unique shops I've ever seen!

Really cool local spirit shop showcasing rocks/minerals, jewelery, music makers, herbs and incense, the whole lot. The workers here clearly drink the kool-aid in the best way - great energy, instantly able to connect with you in such a warm and pleasant way, and deeply knowledgeable about the story and culture behind their wares.
