Rome, Italy

Stone 2: Igneus-Vocanic Ash with Pyroclastic Blast

"This is a rock that was given to me as a gift. A friend of mine from school was taking a trip to Italy, and said he would bring something back for me. I told him I would really like a rock from Italy, so that is what he brought me, a true piece of the country from Rome, near the Coliseum. I had a strong desire to travel as he was doing, and I figured a rock from that country was kind of a way to bring Italy to me." --Natalie Axberg, Dallas, TX

Oregon, USA

Medium orange conch shell-7

"This shell is from my first spiritual journey. When I was seventeen I decided to take a trip and live abroad. I was going to Oregon. I found this shell on the northern coast. I went through the most intense spiritual initiations, one right on top of the other. I was creating my learning, I wanted to know. I fell on many hardships and kept a smile on my face and faith in my heart. Well, most of the time. I have not experienced anything like it to date, except the School of Metaphysics. That’s what keeps me committed to my goal of receiving a doctorate; the sliver of light in the darkness that’s experienced from time to time. It solidifies the path I’m on." --Wendy Wells, Springfield, Missouri

This stone was given to Ben Wheatly by Robert MacIntosh when I was 8 years old in England. Robert was a friend of his father who let him ride on his shoulders.
