How should you read a mineral entry?

Three levels of reading help distinguish physical characteristics, symbolic traditions and the precautions specific to each material.

Identify the stone

Start with its composition, structure, hardness, lustre and origin. These criteria help identify a stone beyond its colour.

Understand its correspondences

Then explore the symbolism, planets, elements and uses passed down through different traditions, without confusing them with medical effects.

Respect its sensitivity

Water, sunlight, salt and heat do not suit every mineral. Check its hardness, porosity and composition before cleaning it.
