Kona Stories

In this two hour workshop, we will be with and learn to communicate with crystals and stones. You will find your own relationship with the various stones, gemstones and crystals that "call" to you. By discovering your intuitive skills you will discover why they came to you and the gifts they offer. There will be time for questions.  Lead by Maraiel Ruth; Since 1985 Maraiel--following her own call-has been deeply involved with the mineral kingdom, as teacher, artist, collector, occasional miner and purveyor of the finest gems and crystals available.
