Mini FAQ: natural stones, the questions that everyone is asking

1. What is the difference between a natural stone and a synthetic stone?
A natural stone is extracted directly from the earth, without human intervention on its structure. It has been trained naturally over the centuries. Conversely, a synthetic stone is made in the laboratory. It can have the same chemical composition, but it does not have the same “energy” or symbolic value, especially in lithotherapy.

2. What is the most powerful natural stone?
It all depends on what you are looking for. Many consider that the Labradorite is one of the most powerful for energy protection, while the Quartz is often cited for its amplifying effects. THE Roche crystal is known to purify and recharge other stones.

3. How do you know if a natural stone is true?
Look at his irregularities: a stone too perfect, too smooth or too colorful can be an imitation. You can also test it to the touch: a real natural stone remains cold, even after a few seconds in your hand. Falus stones, plastic or glass, warm up quickly.

4. Can we sleep with a natural stone?
Yes, but not with everyone. Some stones are very stimulating, such as garnet or red jasper, and may disturb your sleep. On the other hand, stones like amethyst, moonstone or lepidolite are known to appease and promote restful sleep.

5. Should you cleanse or recharge your natural stones?
Absolutely. A natural stone absorbs energies around it, so it needs to be purified regularly. You can pass it under clear water, bury it in the ground, or use sage smoke. To recharge it, sun or moon light is often used.
