This is an offshoot question from my Apache Tear thread since I thought it would relate to other crystals. Does the polishing, tumbling, or even carving a stone into a specific shape (i.e. point for jewelry) in any way negatively affect or diminish the stone's power? For some crystals, especially quartz, amethyst, and other translucent stones, I prefer them in the rough when possible. Other stones such as jaspers, agates, and other opaque stones, tumbled is fine. I am finding online some apache tear stones, but most are polished.
Thoughts?
