You are buying 1 (One) Vatican Tumbled Stone that is from the same lot as the stones pictured. Choose from 3 sizes:
Large = 1.0" - 1.1" length
X Large = 1.2" - 1.3" length
Jumbo = 1.4" - 1.7" length
Natural stones may vary slightly from stated size, weight and color as shown. Picture color and clarity may vary due to different settings on monitors and mobile devices. These stones have more natural variations and textures; they have not been polished completely smooth.
These are ancient stones, from forests thousands of lifetimes long ago (over 300 million years) in England that have fossilized into a form of Black Limestone. They are beautifully finished into a smooth and naturally shiny tumbled stone and look just like the stone columns you see in Europe's most famous cathedrals and castles.
When you want to access ancient wisdom and honor ancestors, Vatican Stone is the perfect touchstone for ceremony, meditation or your personal altar. This is a highly spiritual stone originating from Northern England (aka Frosterley Marble from County Durham) that was used in the Middle Ages to build cathedrals and castles. Most famously it was used for columns in the Vatican, thus the honored name.
I love to use this stone when remembering my unknown yet ever present ancestors in Europe who once worshiped, prayed and lived the milestones of their lives in the oldest cathedrals. I imagine them running their hands over those soaring columns, uplifted by the hope of their faith. I carry that in my blood today...its always good to remember when I came from and the spiritual traditions that supported life.
