Stones

Dear Customers,

The crystalline structure of gems is in the form of sacred geometry of the Platonic Solids. Gemstones are tools to assist us in creating a crystalline vibration for healing human emotion, health, consciousness and planetary ascension. Over time the belief in traditional healing and gemstone healing properties has been lost. Natural stones have been a part of this lost tradition. Now, however, quantum physics is proving the relevance on a subatomic level of everything in life as being inter-related. Everything has frequency and vibration and the mineral kingdom is alive. Use you intuition to sense what stones you are attracted to and read the meanings below. Most of all have fun.
Here is a list of some properties of gemstones I work with. This is intended for education and entertainment only and not intended as medical advice. Please seek the advice of a medical professional when needed. With Appreciation,

— Pamela Minton
