In this category you will understand the power and presence that stones have in our lives. For many people, stones are considered as a simple hard rocks with different shapes found in the ground sometimes filled with colours or sparkle but deprived of any emotional value.

In addition to cure a sore, each stone have different caracterics carrying a specific energy power.
