A new generation of researchers is articulating a set of physical laws that bridge the gap between the material and the metaphysical. We are discovering that the "Spiritual" is simply "Science" for which we previously lacked the instruments to measure.

Raw vs. polished crystals — which is better? Raw stones carry the primal, natural energy of the Earth, while polished and tumbled stones reveal hidden colours, patterns, and a softer feel. Both forms hold value, each offering a different way to experience a crystal’s essence.

For as long as humans have walked the Earth, we have shaped stone. From flint blades and obsidian mirrors to temple statues and gemstone talismans, carving has always been an act of deep relationship. To carve is not only to shape the stone — it is to listen, reveal, and attune.

Across the world, people are drawn to stones — from sparkling crystals and colourful river pebbles to smooth, wave-worn beach treasures. Rockhounding and collecting can be a joyful way to connect with the Earth, to hold in our hands what has taken thousands or millions of years to form. But with this joy comes responsibility.

Solaria holds a growing collection of minerals and crystals, and I find myself connecting with each one at some point — whether while unpacking, cataloguing, or placing them into their new home. From tiny microminerals to large raw geodes, every piece carries its own presence. They don’t just look different — they feel different too.
