Where do you get your sage?
All varieties of sage here at Mineralogy are certified, ethically, and sustainably sourced from reputable companies across the country.
Do the shapes of the minerals matter?
They can! Many people believe different shapes have various effects on how energy is directed.
Wands are used for directed energy towards specific areas.
Rounded Stone/Spheres are used to aid in healing and comfort.
Towers/Pyramids/Points are used to draw energy towards an area.
Sacred Geometry is dependent on the structure. Straight lines and angles symbolize structure and order while curves symbolize connection and community.
