Carve the tradition's cleansing stone into the world's oldest love token and the pairing writes itself: the heart bowl is where the crystal custom rests its heart-file stones, the rose quartz that never leaves the nightstand, the ring that marks the promise, the token a partner gave. Satin spar gypsum, named plainly as everywhere on our shelf, glowing silk-white in the shape everyone reads at a glance. The resting custom holds that stones laid in selenite clear and recharge between workings, a tradition we pass on as the tradition it is, and the heart gives that custom its tenderest station. It is also, frankly, the family's best gift. The bowl loves no one on its own, as we say plainly; it rests the tokens of the people who do.

1. Rest the heart-file stones and love tokens in it, nightstand or altar.
2. Keep it dry always; wipe with a dry cloth only.
3. Give it: the shape was made for the giving customs.

• Rose Quartz Tumbled, 1 lb: the heart stones for the heart dish.
• Selenite Stand Bowl, 4": the footed centerpiece.
• Selenite Crystal Bowl, 2": the ring-dish smallest.

Is this true selenite?

Satin spar gypsum, the form the trade sells as selenite, named plainly: same mineral species, fibrous and silk-lustered.

Does it recharge crystals?

That is the crystal tradition's custom, passed on as tradition: stones rest in selenite dishes between workings.

Can it hold water?

Never: gypsum is water-soluble. Dry use only.
