Properties: 

A cairn is a man-made pile (or stack) of stones. The word cairn comes from the Scottish Gaelic: càrn [ˈkʰaːrˠn̪ˠ] (plural càirn [ˈkʰaːrˠɲ]).

Rock stacking has carried spiritual meaning across cultures for centuries. The act of balancing stones carries with it a practice of patience and a physical effort of creating balance. Each rock can signify an intention of grace for thankfulness, or offered up for another in need.

It is believed that Mother of Pearl offers soothing protection from negative energy.

Aquamarine is a stone of courage and protection.  Its soothing energy makes it a perfect companion to calm fears and phobias.

Chalcedony promotes healing in the heart, boosts mental fortitude, and aids you in discovering and embracing your unique identity. As a nurturing stone, green chalcedony also heightens emotions associated with goodwill and kinship and efficiency of communication.

Apatite expands knowledge and truth and eases sorrow, apathy, and anger. It clears confusion and frustration, reducing irritability and awakening the inner self.
