Most of us spend time during … Continue reading Top Five Summer Destinations

Apart from these highly popular stones, I wasn't aware of the others that were used for not only fashion, but as a healing alternative to medicine, among other things. As I navigate through our modern society, I've discovered … Continue reading What I Experienced on My First Visit to a Healing Crystal Store
