No. A yoga studio qualifies on its own. Our wholesale program is open to anyone selling our products in a storefront, at markets or online, and to anyone using them as part of a business — practitioners using stones in sessions, teachers running workshops, educators and decorators all qualify. If you teach out of a rented room, that still counts.

Usually under one business day. You fill in a short form about your studio once, we review it, and your account is approved. There is no annual fee and no renewal.

No minimum, ever. That is the single most useful thing about buying here as a studio: you can order one bag of tumbled stones and two packs of worry stones to see if your students bite, then reorder the ones that sold.

Who you are, what your business is and where you sell — a studio address, a website, a booking page or an Instagram shop is enough. If you get stuck on the form, email support@stonebridgeimports.com and we will set the account up manually.

Most studios start between $150 and $300 at listed prices, and your wholesale price is lower than that. Orders over $300 CAD ship free, which is why a first shelf order often lands right around there.

Tumbled amethyst, rose quartz, clear quartz and black tourmaline cover most of it, plus worry stones for something to hold and 8mm bead bracelets for something to wear. Selenite sticks sell well because they are inexpensive and easy to explain. Start with five or six stones people already know the names of.

Yes. There is a chakra worry stone 5-pack, chakra pendulums in 3-packs, chakra bead bracelets and laminated chakra QuickStudy guides, so a seven-week chakra series can have a matching take-home each week.

Both are stocked and both are labelled. Anything treated, dyed or lab-made carries “Enhanced” or an equivalent note in the product title or description. Dyed agate slices are popular and perfectly legitimate to sell — just label them the way we do, because your students will ask.

No to all three, and we would rather say so than send you a substitute. What we do have for the same shelf is 8mm bead bracelets in over 100 styles and gemstone bead strands, so you can stock the wrist piece even though we do not make finished 108-bead malas.

The common set, root to crown, is red jasper (root), carnelian (sacral), citrine or tiger's eye (solar plexus), green aventurine (heart), sodalite or blue lace agate (throat), amethyst or lapis lazuli (third eye) and clear quartz or amethyst (crown). Different traditions swap several of these, which is worth saying out loud when a student asks. Our chakra worry-stone 5-pack and chakra bracelets follow the standard order.

If you are handing one to each student and taking them back, a single bag of small tumbled stones (roughly 30 to 80 pieces depending on size) covers a class with spares. If they keep them, budget one per student and price it into the workshop ticket rather than selling at the door.

Dry methods only, for practical reasons: a selenite plate, smoke, sound, or simply leaving them out overnight. Do not rinse selenite, and do not soak anything soft or porous. Water is the fastest way to ruin a studio's stock.

It depends on size. Tumbled stones and chips are sold by weight in five sizes, and the tumbled sizing chart and chip sizing chart give approximate piece counts per bag so you can work out a cost per stone before ordering.

Yes. Most items are sold individually or in small packs of 3, 5 or 10 precisely so a small business can test. Bead strands restock roughly every two months, so if a strand is out, it is worth checking back.

Free on orders over $300 CAD to Canada and the United States. Under $300 it is a $19 flat rate. Heavy items such as large geodes and salt, and remote or territorial addresses, are charged separately.

Orders ship from our Kitchener, Ontario warehouse and reach most Canadian provinces in 2–5 business days. There is no customs delay on domestic orders, which is the main reason studios switch from overseas suppliers.

Yes, and free shipping over $300 CAD applies there too. We have customers in more than 40 states. Current rates show at checkout.

Tell us and we replace or credit it. Orders are packed in reinforced, crush-tested boxes with recycled fill — the single most common review theme we get is packaging — but stones are stones and occasionally one arrives chipped. Send a photo and it is handled.

Wholesale orders of $300 or more come with a 365-day exchange: send unsold, unused, sellable stock back within a year and take store credit against your next order. Within the first 30 days we cover return shipping; after that you do. Final-sale, clearance, live-sale, custom and digital items are excluded.

Yes. Affirm appears as a pay-over-time option at our regular checkout, and if you prefer trade terms you can order Stonebridge through Faire and use their 60-day terms instead.

Most small retailers work from a keystone-style markup — roughly double your landed cost — and then round to a price that feels right at a front desk ($8, $12, $20). Our bulk tumbled stone guide works through the arithmetic on a real bag, and the free menu on this page has a fill-in sheet.

Describe tradition, not treatment. “Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and rest” is fair; “amethyst reduces anxiety” is a health claim and should not appear on your signage, website or class descriptions. Keep the language experiential — what people use it for, how it feels to hold — and you stay on the right side of both advertising rules and your own integrity.

It feels commercial when it interrupts. It does not when it answers. A bowl at the desk with a small sign never interrupts a class, and it is there for the person who was going to search for one anyway. Most studios start by only mentioning it when someone asks.

Yes. Printed Stone Meaning Cards come in 10-packs per stone, the Healing Crystals Database covers 500+ stones with usable descriptions, and QuickStudy guides work as both a teaching reference and a retail item.

Yes, and plenty of studios only ever order that way. There is no ongoing commitment, no quarterly minimum and no penalty for going quiet between retreats.

Three stones in a pouch with a meaning card is the format that travels best — it is light, unbreakable enough for a suitcase, and it keeps working as a souvenir long after the weekend. Boxed collections work too when you want one item that explains itself. Most hosts budget a few dollars a guest and build it into the ticket.

We buy direct from family-run mines and cutting houses in Brazil, India, Madagascar, Morocco, Pakistan, Mexico and Australia — relationships going back decades, started by our founder, who trained as a mining engineer in Brazil. We can tell you the origin of a given stone, and our commitment is that everyone in the chain is fairly paid. We would rather show you the specific relationship than wave a certificate at you.

Yes. Our showroom and warehouse are at 396-B Victoria St N, Kitchener, Ontario, and wholesale customers can shop both. Once a year in March we run the Off the Truck sale, which is the best in-person buying window of the year.

Three things, concretely: no minimum order, a 365-day exchange on $300+ orders, and the teaching material that comes with the products. We have been family-owned since 2002, buy direct from family-run mines, inspect every shipment in Kitchener, and hold a 4.8-star rating from 6,939 verified buyers.
