How to use it
Slip one or two stones into a pocket or bag, hold one in your hand during a quiet moment, arrange them in a bowl on a desk or shelf, or lay out a small crystal grid on an altar. A set is also easy to share: one stone for yourself, the others to give as gifts.
Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth, or rinse in clean lukewarm water and dry carefully. Avoid household cleaning products, knocks and strong heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade some colours.
Nature of the stone and photos

Some commercially sold stones are heated, dyed or stabilised with resin. Where this is the case, it is stated on the product page. If in doubt, write to us before buying.
