A 40 mm stone sphere with carved craters on its surface, set on a small glossy stand: a desk planet to place on a shelf or a bedside table. Three stones to choose from: purple amethyst (Jupiter), red jasper (Mars) and white howlite (the Moon).
Choose from: Amethyst (Jupiter), Red jasper (Mars) or Howlite (the Moon).
Each piece is unique: colour, designs and finish vary from one example to another, and the photo shows an example from the series, not the one you will receive.
What is it made of
Sphere carved from a natural stone (amethyst, red jasper or howlite). The stand is made of goldstone, a manufactured coloured glass, and not a natural stone.
Tracked parcel. Free on orders of €49 or more up to 5 kg, otherwise €5.99 to €19.99 depending on the weight of the order. Learn more

Nature of the stone and photos
A natural stone is unique: its colour, veining, inclusions and size vary from one piece to another. The photos are a guide only.
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.

Symbolism and tradition
Each planet is linked, in astrological tradition, to a stone: Jupiter to amethyst (wisdom), Mars to red jasper (courage), the Moon to howlite (calm). This is symbolism, not a promise.
This symbolism is a matter of tradition. It is neither a promise of results nor medical advice.
