Is this astrology?

No. Five Elements is a classical Chinese framework, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, that maps how the body's energy states shift through grief, transition, and threshold moments. It is not chakras and not Western astrology. We use it diagnostically, to choose a stone for where you are right now.

What does "blessed at Putuo Mountain" mean?

Putuo Mountain is the earthly home of Guanyin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and a site of continuous pilgrimage for over a thousand years. Every stone travels there for a monthly blessing ceremony before it ships to you. Each order includes a personal blessing certificate with your name, your stone, and the date it was carried to the mountain.

How do I know which element I need?

Take the free Find My Element test, a few short questions about where you are right now. For a precise reading based on your birth chart, book a Custom Reading.

What is a Custom Reading?

It begins with your Ba Zi chart, the Four Pillars of Destiny, which maps the elemental proportions present at your birth and how they have shifted over your years. We identify where the imbalance is now, then select a stone for that. See the Custom Reading page for tiers ($288 and $488).

How long does it take to receive my order?

Because every piece is carried to Putuo Mountain for the monthly blessing ceremony before shipping, please allow approximately 2–3 weeks. See Shipping for details.

Can I return a piece?

Ready Collection pieces can be returned within 14 days if unopened. Custom Readings are non-refundable once the blessing has begun. See Returns.

Are the stones natural?

Yes, natural stones, handcrafted. Each carries its own inclusions and markings; these are not flaws but the fingerprint the stone was formed with.
