AN ANCIENT FRAMEWORK
Five elements. A world of meaning.
In Taoist-inspired feng shui, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water describe a cycle of growth, transformation and balance. Natural crystals form over millions of years beneath the earth. In traditional Eastern symbolism, their colours and character are associated with the elements, making them meaningful keepsakes for wishes around prosperity, connection and good fortune.
