For as long as humans have walked the Earth, we have shaped stone. From flint blades and obsidian mirrors to temple statues and gemstone talismans, carving has always been an act of deep relationship. To carve is not only to shape the stone — it is to listen, reveal, and attune.

Across the world, people are drawn to stones — from sparkling crystals and colourful river pebbles to smooth, wave-worn beach treasures.

Solaria holds a growing collection of minerals and crystals, and I find myself connecting with each one at some point — whether while unpacking, cataloguing, or placing them into their new home. From tiny microminerals to large raw geodes, every piece carries its own presence. They don’t just look different — they feel different too.
