More about this category

Raw, tumbled, polished or carved, stones are chosen for their material as much as for their colour. Here are ten common stones, with their traditional symbolism (a cultural belief, not a demonstrated property):

  • Amethyst: associated with calm and serenity.
  • Rose quartz: evokes tenderness and love.
  • Rock crystal: a symbol of clarity.
  • Tiger's eye: linked to courage.
  • Selenite: linked to light.
  • Labradorite: associated with intuition.
  • Agate: a symbol of balance.
  • Green aventurine: luck is attributed to it.
  • Black tourmaline: a symbol of protection.
  • Moonstone: linked to cycles and intuition.

Material, any treatment, hardness and care: everything is detailed in our guide to choosing and caring for your stones.

How to choose

  • To get started: a bag of tumbled stones or a small mineral specimen on a stand.
  • For decoration: a point, a sphere or a stone tree.
  • For contemplation: a crystal ball on a stand.
