Far from being confined to the New Age era, lithotherapy has become very popular in recent years and is now taking its place in our everyday lives. Each stone has its energetic virtue and can bring emotional well-being.
Stones carry the energy of the earth. Contrary to what one might think, their action does not result from a simple placebo effect. It has been proven that they emit waves, like energetic vibrations, capable of acting on the emotions of people who are sensitive to them. They do not have healing power over illnesses, but they can calm the mind or promote concentration. They can be a good meditation support. And help to channel thoughts and refocus on one’s inner world.

First let your intuition speak. A stone that we like surely has something to bring us. But it is also possible to find out about the properties of each to choose the one that can alleviate the problems of the moment.
