Totem Power Stones

For any rock shop retailer looking to attract a regular stream of new customers, adding Totem Power Stones to your inventory is a very smart move.  Also known as Spirit Stones, the collectible Totem Power stones add an interesting new dimension to your store’s retail rock and mineral offerings, and Totem Power stones can drive repeat business as well.  Whether they are called totem stones or spirit stones, these colorful semi-precious natural stones are deeply carved with “power” figures, each of which has its own intrinsic meaning.  Interestingly, the meaning behind the images is blended with the metaphysical make-up of each stone to create a powerful “totem.”

Why would your customers want to collect Totem Power Stones, or buy them as gifts?

While most Americans associate the word “totem” with Native American beliefs, “totemistic” ideologies extend far beyond this to include societies throughout much of the world, including Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe.  Even though most of the original tribal religions are no longer practiced, many individuals have chosen to adopt their own personal spirit helper from the animal world. The animal, or totem, that an individual chooses is usually one that bears a special meaning to them, and this practice has become a very important part of the New Age and some Metaphysical movements.
