How to work with them
Balance means different things on different days. Hematite and smoky quartz are the traditional grounding stones for a scattered mind. Lepidolite and amethyst are reached for when moods swing. Tiger's eye suits the pull of too many demands, moonstone the wish to live with natural cycles, fluorite a cluttered mind, and green aventurine the balance between giving and receiving. Clear quartz is the all-round starting point. These are traditional associations, offered as companions to real care and never as a replacement for it.
Whichever stone you choose, cleanse it when it's new and now and then after. Our cleansing guide walks through seven gentle methods.
