Practical Tips: How to Find the Right Healing Stone

The zodiac sign table is a good starting point. However, it is not a rigid system. Many people feel more drawn to a different stone than the classic zodiac stone. That's perfectly fine.

Here are our recommendations from experience:

• Trust Your Intuition: Hold the stone in your hand before buying it. In our showroom in Feldkirchen near Munich, you can touch and compare stones directly.
• Pay Attention to Authenticity: Only buy from trustworthy dealers. Synthetic or dyed stones are often sold as natural healing stones.
• Choose Size and Shape: Tumbled stones (approx. 2–5 cm) are suitable for beginners. Raw stones feel more original to many people.
• Don't Forget Cleansing: You should cleanse new stones before using them. You can learn how here: Cleansing Healing Stones – How to Discharge and Clear Crystals Properly.
• Charging and Activating: After cleansing, we recommend charging stones in sunlight (max. 1–2 hours) or under moonlight. You can find more on this at Charging & Cleansing Healing Stones – A Guide.
