Lime Oolite is also called Hildegard stone, Rogen stone, Margarita stone or Margarite stone.
Smooth Stones are about 3 -4 cm in diameter. Each stone is preformed by hand, then cut and polished.
You will receive the Smooth Stones in packaging units of 0.5 kg (approx. 20-30 stones/VE).
The raw material comes from Germany; stone healing uses Lime Oolite to work with the themes of cleansing, relief and relaxation.
Many centuries ago, the nun Hilegard von Bingen was concerned with the power of precious stones and their benefits for humans. Many of the stone types she described are still "in use" today in modern stone medicine, but sometimes under a different name.
Oolite (from the Greek oon "egg" and lithos "stone") is a sedimentary rock consisting of many small mineral globules (ooids). The globules are cemented together by a clayey or calcareous binder. If the globules consist of lime (calcite or aragonite), the stone is also called rogenstone or pea stone.
