- Refresh weekly: Rinse quickly (stone-safe), wipe dry, or rest it near Clear Quartz. Avoid long sun exposure for color-sensitive stones like Amethyst and Fluorite.

FAQ
- Can I use more than one stone? Yes—pair one “core” stone with a supporting stone (e.g., Tiger Eye + Clear Quartz).
- Do shapes matter? Shapes guide how energy is used: towers focus, hearts soften, animals symbolize qualities (wolf = protection/instinct).
- How long until I feel results? Often immediately as a cue for mindful action; habits compound the effect.
