Sunlight: It loves the sun! Because of its fiery reds and yellows, a few hours of direct sunlight will "wake up" its vitality and make its colors pop.
-
Running Water: It is a very hard and durable stone (6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale). You can safely wash it in a natural stream or under a tap to "rinse off" absorbed stress.
-
Smudging: Use Eucalyptus or White Sage to honor its connection to the rugged landscape.
