About the Stones
Stones and crystals come in more varieties than you can imagine. They were created as the earth formed and have continued to evolve along with the rest of the natural world. They have been present for millennia and serve as witnesses to all that came before us. They have developed deep underground, in the oceans, or under enormous pressure. These intense conditions have given them all their unique characteristics. The structure of these stones and crystals can absorb and emit energy.
