Stone Properties & Sources

Throughout this collection, notes on stone properties are included as a way to share the long-standing stories and traditions connected to natural materials. These descriptions come from well-known crystal and mineral reference books—The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall, The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian, and Love Is in the Earth by Melody—which explore how stones have been viewed, valued, and symbolically understood across cultures and throughout history. These perspectives aren’t presented as my own interpretations or as scientific claims, but as a shared body of traditional knowledge. They’re offered simply as a way to deepen appreciation for the remarkable stones Mother Nature has created. If you’re curious to learn more, these books are a wonderful place to begin exploring the rich and fascinating world of minerals and crystals.
