The properties of each are abbreviated in short description for your reference as you browse, touch, and hold the stones. These descriptions can help you determine what stones are most useful to you. Although, sometimes, the best way to find a crystal is to just hold them and learn what feels good to you. The best way to learn about stones is to live, work and meditate with them, discovering what insights you can gain for yourself.

Our small stones range in price from just .10 cents to about $5.00 each. We also have a variety of rare, specialty, and larger stones that are priced individually.

Our wonderful staff can hep guide you to stones that may help or be of interest to you.  However, stones speak to each person differently.    We also carry many books and references about stones and crystals that can assist you in your learning.  The most important thing to remember is that there are no hard and fast rules — what feels good to you is likely best for you.  Stones can be an amazing teacher!

Both quartz crystals and certain types of stones strengthen the energies of the inner self, but each does it in a slightly different way.  A stone gives off a very specific narrow (in bandwidth) type of subtle energy vibration because of its crystalline structure and chemical makeup, and it is the stone itself that is the source of this vibration.

In contrast, quartz crystals are called the “master stone” because they operate in a much broader way that amplifies all the subtle energy frequencies.  This happens because quartz crystals, unlike stones, are not the actual source of the subtle energy vibration, but instead they amplify and then reflect back those subtle energy vibrations that exist in their immediate environment.  For this reason, a quartz crystal is able to strengthen all the energies of the inner self at once.  For example, if you feel loving toward someone, and you are carrying a quartz crystal in your pocket at the time, that crystal will amplify and intensify the love energy you put out by resonating with it and making it stronger.

Although stones and quartz crystals operate somewhat differently, each has its purpose.  Because of its narrow focus, a stone is somewhat stronger than a quartz crystal, but it only works in its own specific area, that is, each stone only strengthens the particular energy or human quality it resonates with.  This makes stones ideal for concentrating on your growth by working on one energy at a time, or working on several energies at once by using several stones.  Because of its broad and more general way of operating, a quartz crystal works to strengthen all areas of the inner self at the same time.

Because a quartz crystal strengthens everything at once, it doesn’t usually change the balance of the energies.  And balance in the energies is extremely important, sometimes even more important than growth itself.  This is why stones are so important.  They can not only strengthen the energies, but, if chosen properly, they can bring the weaker energies up closer in strength to the stronger energies, and produce an internal balance that gives you a serenity and peacefulness that comes from being of one mind (not of divided opinion) in all areas of your life.
