Could stones be substituted? I have seen that many spells need stones(haematite,tiger eye etc) and in Singapore (my country) , i noticed that there is no new age shop, so could the stones be substituted with something?

Hello there my dear,

Generally if you can find another stone with similar properties, then there is no problem in substituting one for another….
