Science & Origin of Preseli Bluestone
Preseli Bluestone, also known as Preseli Stone or Preseli Spotted Dolerite, is a very unique and rare igneous rock that crystallizes in the form of masses. This crystal is made up of multiple minerals that include Dolerite, Feldspar (Plagioclase), Diopside, Biotite, and Quartz just to name a few. The color can range in a variety of different green hues (Dolerite) with inclusions of tiny white spots (Quartz) and black specs (usually a mix of Hematite, Biotite, and Ilmenite). The only known locality of this stone is within both the Preseli Hill and mountain ranges in western Wales.
 
Controversial History
Preseli Bluestone has a long storied past that's shrouded in controversy. The famous Stonehenge in England is made up of 43, 4,000-8,000 pound blocks of Preseli Bluestone. Stonehenge is estimated to be over 5,000 years old (dating back to 3100 B.C.) and is thought to have once contained over 80 Preseli Bluestone “standing stones”. The main controversy that entangles this prehistoric site and million-year-old mineral is how exactly it got to its location. Stonehenge is located in Wiltshire, which is about 150 miles away from the Preseli Hills, the only known locality of this infamous stone. Historians are divided on just about every aspect of this stone, its cultural site, and how it got to where it is.
 
Glacial Theory
One side wholeheartedly believes in the “Glacier Erratic” theory, which infers that massive chunks of Mother Earth were transported 150 miles across the UK during the melting of the Irish Sea Glacier. The other leading theory is human labor forces were able to transport these massive stones across large valleys of the land. Some historians that share this theory believe it could have taken upwards of 500 years to fully complete the transportation process. Others share the common ideology that these stones were once used in another monument and then dismantled and recreated in Wiltshire for an unknown reason. There is also a third theory or idea that raises the question of the possibility of some “other” way in which these stones got there. That “other” is indeed the question and debate that the third theory focuses on!
 
Rooted Through History
In addition to the blocks at Stonehenge, there was also a large number of ancient tools and weapons carved directly out of Preseli Bluestone. These artifacts have been found throughout mainland England, but the exact stone used to carve these specific items is much more intriguing. Throughout England, archaeologists have uncovered multiple different types of Dolerite, more specifically Preseli Bluestone. Since this igneous rock is a combination of multiple different minerals, each stone’s chemical body varies slightly. Through present-day research, scientists and historians have been able to directly link the tools around Stonehenge to the blocks themselves; nearly mirroring the exact chemical makeup.

The Mystery Continues
This long debate has finally been settled and it shows the intelligence level and crafting skills needed to work with this exceptionally unique mineral. Preseli Bluestone is harder and stronger than Granite, known as one of the strongest materials in the world. For these ancient people to have been able to develop an understanding of how to craft, carve, and sculpt this mineral shows the high level of intelligence of this unknown society. This long-standing hypothesis based on the tools surrounding Stonehenge only amplifies the conspiracies and mysteries associated with this rock. How could a settlement of people not leave behind any written or physical artifacts but carve a rock with a hardness of 8-9? We would love to hear your ideas of what happened to these people, as well as what Stonehenge was used for!

Preseli Bluestone offers up a strong, yet subtle transformative energy that immediately begins to imbue your aura. One’s spirit and energy levels will push one to take action and soar through their current obstacles.
 
Crystal Towers
Crystal towers are believed to have several metaphysical properties and perks, but it's important to remember this is based on spiritual beliefs and has yet to be verified by science. Here's a breakdown of the potential benefits and the science behind the shape:
Metaphysical Properties:
Amplified Energy: The pointed shape of a crystal tower is believed to focus and amplify the crystal's natural energy, strengthening the specific properties associated with each crystal type.
Directed Energy: Towers are thought to direct energy outward from the point. Depending on your intention, you can position the point outwards to send energy into your environment or inwards to draw energy towards yourself.
Protection and Grounding: Some believe a crystal tower creates a protective shield around its location, filtering negativity and promoting security.
Manifestation: The focused energy of a crystal tower is said to aid in manifesting your desires and intentions.
Perks:
Aesthetics: Crystal towers are beautiful and visually appealing. They can add a touch of natural beauty and positive vibes to your home or workspace.
Focal Point: A crystal tower can be a focal point for meditation or crystal healing practices, helping you focus your intentions.
Conversation Starter: Unique crystal towers can be starters with friends or family interested in crystals.
Science Behind the Shape:
The pointed shape of a crystal tower may have a minor piezoelectric effect. This means some crystals can emit a small electrical current when pressure is applied (like from the point). However, the scientific community doesn't consider this effect strong enough to impact the human body significantly.
Overall:
Crystal towers can be a visually attractive and helpful tool for those interested in crystals and their metaphysical properties. While the science behind their amplified energy is minimal, the focus and clarity they provide during meditation or visualization practices could be beneficial.
