There are many crystals that nature gives us. This article describes some of the lesser known crystals. What colors does the stone come in, what is its effect and where are the stones mined? Moreover, if you know a little more about them, you can use them more effectively… or simply admire them for their beauty.
Application
You buy a particular stone by looking at the stones that are there and selecting the one that immediately appeals to you. Even if it is not the most beautiful of the group of stones. A stone may have passed through many hands in a shop or at a fair, so clean it first. You can clean them by holding them under the tap and leaving them in a container with fresh salt water for a day or so (this is not possible with all stones, there are stones that dissolve in water such as selenite). You can also place them outside in the soil or in the sun for a while. You can store the stones in soft material bags in the dark when you are not using them. There are only a few stones that are self-cleaning.See stones as support for a healing process. A healing process that can be strengthened with a product from nature, even if you do not believe in it. After all, it certainly can’t do any harm. And in addition to all this, you can of course also just enjoy the stones. There are very nice specimens.
