There is a delicate, sometimes not so delicate as in the case of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, energetic relationship between the rocks and stones that lay beneath our feet and ourselves. The geological and mineral content of any given area determines what might grow there, what might live there, what might be mined there and ultimately in my argument it determines the very consciousness of the people that live, work and play there.
