Healing Properties of Stones

In The Sn to Su Alpha Section

➤ By Liz Oakes

This page only relates to the healing properties of stones in the second half of the S section of the alphabet, Sn through to Su.

There are so many stones beginning with S, that the page was very long. 

So it was necessary to divide off the stones from Sn through to Su (which is the theme of this page). 

There are some common as well many uncommon stones covered here. Some of these stones may have their own in-depth page written about them.

Do not be surprised if you discover that the stone you are looking for information about has another name.

Note that some stones have more than one name that refers to the same crystal. Stichtite in Serpentine is also called Atlantisite.
