Astral Project: A Crystal-Clear Choice for Your Smoke Shop

If your customers like their sessions with a side of zen and a dash of sparkle, Astral Project is basically their love language. This fast-rising brand blends crystal aesthetics with functional smokeware—so your displays look good, your baskets look better, and your profits look, well, crystal clear. ✨

Who (and what) is Astral Project?

Astral Project positions itself at the intersection of craftsmanship and spirituality: think genuine crystal/stone pipes and brand copy about connecting “to oneself, others, and the universe.” In short: feel-good vibes, giftable looks, and easy impulse appeal.

The Lineup (aka “rock stars”)

1) Gemstone Jewel Pipe – the faceted crowd-pleaser

• What it is: The brand’s signature, multi-faceted “jewel” silhouette in authentic stones such as Rose Quartz, Obsidian, Amethyst, Tiger’s Eye, Lapis, and more. Includes 2 mesh screens + cleaning brush; approx. 4.25" x 1.25" x 0.75".

• Positioning: Entry-to-mid price points with lots of color/stone variety—perfect for color-blocked displays and gifting.

• Site MSRP signals: Stones typically fall around $24–$36, depending on variety (e.g., Obsidian ~$24, Lapis ~$36). Pricing can vary by stone.

2) Spoon Pipe – classic shape, crystal upgrade

• What it is: An ergonomic spoon profile carved from genuine gemstone (great everyday driver).

• What’s included: 2 mesh screens + cleaning brush; dimensions ~3.5" x 1.4" x 1.1".

• Price signals: Styles typically range $23–$38 MSRP.

3) Shroom Pipe – whimsical, gift-forward mushroom silhouette

• What it is: A mushroom-inspired stone pipe (a bona fide shelf-stopper). Typical listing specs show ~1.9" x 1.9" x 2.2" with 2 mesh screens + cleaning brush. 

• Positioning: Highly giftable and trend-aligned (nature, cottage-core, crystal boom).

• Price signals: Stones generally land $34–$40.50 MSRP.

4) Tower (Gemstone One‑Hitter) – pocketable powerhouse

• What it is: A slim, travel‑friendly one‑hitter carved from crystal—perfect for checkout lanes and travel kits.

• What’s included: Removable screen + cleaning brush (compact kit).

• Positioning: Entry price point, high novelty, excellent for multipacks and impulse.

Why Astral Project sells (and sells out)

• Looks that lift: The pieces are striking on a shelf or behind glass; they photograph beautifully for your social/promos. 

• Gifting & self-care angle: Crystal names (Rose Quartz! Amethyst!) cross over into pseudo wellness and decor—ideal for gifters and “treat yourself” shoppers.

• Ready-to-use kits: Including mesh screens + cleaning brush reduces friction for first-timers and justifies pricing. 

• Proof of demand: Presence across major e-comm smoke shops suggests consistent consumer interest (great for new-to-category retailers). 

Merchandising that really rocks (pun 100% intended)

• Color-story the shelf. Group by stone/color (e.g., “Pinks & Purples” with Rose Quartz + Amethyst) so shoppers can pick by vibe. 

• Good‑Better‑Best ladder. Good: Tower One‑Hitter (entry/impulse). Better: Jewel or Spoon (daily driver). Best: Shroom (premium gift & display anchor).

• Bundle basics. Merch screens and cleaners adjacent to pipes; mirror the in-box parts for an easy “stock up” moment. 

• Occasion hooks. Position as birthday/housewarming/holiday gifts—great for endcaps and seasonal displays. (Those gemstones do the selling for you.)

Suggested assortment (starter set)

• Core stones in the Jewel Pipe (mix of light/dark tones) + a healthy row of Spoons for everyday carry. Add Shrooms to keep the vibe playful and seasonal. Finish with Tower one‑hitters near checkout for grab‑and‑go. Include screen 5‑packs at POS.

Pricing & margin notes (read the room, and the rock)

Official site pricing varies by stone (and can fluctuate). We recommend benchmarking your MSRP against what’s listed on our site and then setting your keystone+ target based on your local competitive set. As of this writing, Jewel Pipe stones cluster around $24–$36, while Globe stones can range roughly $46–$80, depending on the gemstone—use those bands to frame your ladder. 

Light legal + reality check

Astral Project’s marketing references metaphysical/crystal properties (e.g., “Rose Quartz awakens the heart,” “Amethyst helps mental clarity”). These are brand claims, not medical advice; avoid making health claims and follow local laws and age-gate best practices.

Stone-Cold Summary

Astral Project gives you display‑worthy design, gift‑ready storytelling, and accessory upsells—a trifecta for steady turns. Start with a color‑varied Jewel assortment, layer in Spoons for daily drivers, add Shrooms to keep the vibe playful, and sprinkle Tower one‑hitters near POS. Then, let the crystals do the talking while your register does the cha‑ching. ?
