Do the mountains sing? The short answer is YES! Ask anyone who hikes, camps or travels through the lands of higher altitudes. There is a different hum or frequency than in the city. Natural Stones sing in wellness & harmony to their surroundings. We listen and find the ones who sing out!

Just because you hear someone calling out is reason enough to respond. The natural stones we have already collected, as well as the stones who are waiting for the collector, know how to connect with humans. More than a cherished doll, they want to be found as soon as possible.
UNCOVERED
Joy permeates the foothills after a hard rain and soaks down the snow as it melts. Water, with her infinite nourishment and wellness to man, plant and beast, brings to the Earth's surface the natural stones who are changing the landscape. Once uncovered, they have presented themselves at the end of a long and treacherous journey.
COLLECTED
This step is the most mindful. There are decisions by a collector that may cause some natural stones to be passed by, if only for a moment. What to leave in and what to leave out. The what is each stone's beauty, unique and natural. There will not be enough time to collect all that are beautiful. The responsibility keeps me strong.
SET OUT
Many of the natural stones we hear are partly covered in soil. We bring them to an area where weather can do her part to clean them of soil stains. How long each stone needs to sit out depends on how deep the discolor. It is amazing to watch the transformation. They are glad to be further along in their adventure, as each seeks the collector destined to be their new guardian.
SOAKED
Each stone takes a dish soap bubble bath for days. This softens any composite materials which may be loose and removes surface soil.
SCRUBBED
This is where the stones are moved indoors for the first time in their 'life'. They enjoy the kitchen sink and the warm water they haven't felt since they left the inside of the Earth. Individual characteristics and markings are revealed during the bath. If these stones have feelings, this is where each begins to look ahead to the life of becoming a collector's stone.
OILED
Which of us doesn't love the wellness of a great massage? Natural Stones are no different! There are a few who do not get oiled with coconut oil, only because they are coarsely textured or have an enormous amount of sparkle and crystallization. These stones still get caressed, admired and held just like the others.
RUBBED
Shine and gloss are the results of hand rubbing a rock or stone. Bringing the beauty and grain of the stone into view is rewarding enough, however the comfort and solace received from rubbing a stone is remarkable. Natural stones claim energy and heat internally while stress and negativity are lost to wellness from the collector holding and rubbing it.
NAMED
As each stone was being washed, rubbed and cared for, the connection to it was being developed. The characteristics and similarities are recognized and a mental communication with the stone takes place.
Naming is the beginning of all particular things.
Natural stones are individual and particular about identity. I have named each one according to my experiences and perspectives, however you, as the new Guardian and collector, may hear something different. If you choose to rename your stone, we will be happy to send an updated Certificate of Authenticity.
PHOTOGRAPHED
Looking for great lighting and a pleasant background that compliments the natural beauty of these stones has been a challenge. Native California Stones belong with collectors/guardians who understand the magical qualities of the stone's vibration. By seeing where they were 'born', these stones express what they are about...connecting you to nature...connecting you to you.
LISTED
Computer time is essential to any organization today and making these natural stones public and available for purchase is consuming. Optimizing the opportunity for each boulder, rock or stone to be found with accuracy and detail by a collector is our priority.
