Wish i could find them in real small pieces for me to keep.Thank you.
Generally, You shouldn’t wear more than 2 different gemstones at the time, especially if they have opposite effects. The exception is Clear quartz, you can wear it with other stones to amplify their energy. If you can resist combining different stones, pick the ones with similar characteristics e.g. Rose Quartz and Amethysts.
I hope this helped. Keep reading this page, there’ll be more articles on this subject.
