Rough Points make an incredible focal point to any room or desktop. This is an all natural, rough point right from the earth and has not been polished or cut, but left in its raw state. You can also use it in a medicine wheel or as a healing wand, an extension of your hand to direct and intensify energy. Pointed away from the body, it draws energy off and pointed inward it directs energy to the body. So depending on the purpose, it can be used either way.
