DISCLAMERS:

Every natural stone/mineral or crystal is unique as it has been created from earth and then some of them are carved/polished by hand. Small flaws, natural fissures, drusy pockets, vugs, and cracks are commonly found on many crystals. We need to see the beauty in the little imperfections, that's the trademark of stones/mineral, or crystals nothing it's 100% "perfect".

Stones/minerals and crystals look amazing in collections, home decorating, and altars. Some are small enough to carry with you at work or during travel. Although crystals can support energetic well-being and make wonderful additions in meditation and reiki, they should never replace traditional medical treatment.
