What's Your Favorite Stone/Material to Work With?

What are your favorite stones or materials? I’ve never seen a general topic on this (which is weird) so I thought I would start one.

I recently have discovered the majesty of white jade. I picked up a bracelet from my local metaphysical shop and I don’t want to take it off my arm. It’s so calming and gentle, yet emits an impressive kind of power. It has a bunch of benefits. I’ll put a link here: Properties of White Jade

Another thing I’m keen on trying is associated with one of my deities; Rudrakasha beads. They’re sacred seeds. Finally ordered one yesterday! I wonder if anyone here has any experience with these?

So share with us your favorite stones, shells, plant materials, animal materials, natural tools, you get the idea! It’ll be fun reading and it might give some of our newbies here ideas on what to start with. :wink:

Cheers. :lotus: :bell:

The stone closest related to Shamanism in the Americas is probably Turquoise.

I have some authentic pieces from my mother, who traveled to the Southwest often

and knew what to look for. I wear those mostly. They’re silver settings. I have a small

brass Singing Bowl. Hope to get a bigger one I do love brass and bronze and copper.
