What are Crystals and Stones?
Natural crystals were formed in the wild, over thousands of years.
They are formed when minerals crystallize from melting rocks, inside the earth; or when water evaporates, leaving salt to crystalize the minerals, on the surface; or even from vapor.
In general terms, crystals are solidified minerals and stones are the combination of crystals of various minerals.
Nowadays, the majority of crystals are man-made.
