Dolomite is attributed with serenity and inner balance in spiritual circles; the quartz component is said, according to traditional stone lore, to amplify the properties traditionally attributed to a stone. All these properties make the ensemble a popular companion for people who wish to consciously integrate mindfulness and well-being into their everyday lives – whether on a desk, in a meditation room, or as a decorative statement piece in the living room.
