The Crystal & Gemstone Guide

Vibration & Vitality

“Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem”

Crystals and semi-precious stones are an integral part of the Zorluna look and style philosophy and feature heavily in many of our designs. These majestic stones are not only chosen for their beauty but also for their sacred meanings and healing properties. In fact for thousands of years crystals have been used to adorn, heal and protect.

There is an undeniable attraction to crystals. Even the less attractive stones have an intriguing enticement that you can’t help but be drawn to.

Each time a new type of stone is used in a Zorluna design it will be added to the guide below:
