Hare Krishna
I found a beautiful website that sells shaligrams and vaishna objects, but I have Heard from a devotee that shaligramas are not to be selled/buyed?

Who can do that?
I want to worship it's really helpful for me if you can give one shaligramji to me.
Hare Krishna,
Its recommended to give them as a gift, or even better, to find them yourself in the holy Gandaki river.
SB 5.7.10 — In Pulaha-āśrama is the Gaṇḍakī River, which is the best of all rivers. The śālagrāma-śilā, the marble pebbles, purify all those places. On each and every marble pebble, up and down, circles like navels are visible.

It is good if it is received as a gift but no harm in purchasing if you can care for Him. For Gaudiya vaishnavas worshipng Giriraj is more preferred. If we see the example of our prayojan tattwa acharya Srila Raghunath Das Goswami , he was gifted Giriraj by Mahaprabhu himself. However giriraj or saligram should be cared like a baby and should not be left unattended.
