Tumbled stones:

Our collection of tumbled stones includes a wide variety of minerals. Each offers a unique palette of colours, patterns and textures that reflect the Earth’s mineral diversity.

Tumbled stones are pieces of raw minerals that have been carefully shaped by human hands.

This is a mechanical process during which the raw stones are polished.

The minerals are usually placed in a rotating drum containing water and an abrasive. This process takes around ten days.

As the stones rub against one another, they become polished into pebble-like shapes.

Whether for meditation, home décor or to expand your mineral collection, you’re sure to find something to suit you in our online shop.

Rose quartz:

The origin of the word ‘quartz’ is uncertain.

The first theory suggests that it may derive from the term ‘quaterz’ or ‘quaderz’, which, until the 16th century, referred to lower-quality ores.

Another theory suggests it comes from a contraction of the German word ‘gewärz’, meaning ‘growth’ or ‘sprout’.

Rose quartz has always been associated with love and fertility in many civilisations.

Rose quartz derives its colour from its inclusions: metal oxides, manganese, titanium and dumortierite.

The main deposits of rose quartz are found in Brazil and Madagascar.
