As always, there was excellent shopping to be had at the Mind Body Spirit festival in Dublin at the weekend, but I think this is my favourite purchase. This is bastite, also known as dragon stone, with such wonderful energy I felt the need to buy two pieces for myself. #divinerlife #gemstones #bastite #dragonstone #dragonvibes #crystals #crystalhealing
