Raw V Tumbled

Which do you prefer the raw type of crystal or the tumbled ones? I like both I like the tumbled if i'm handling them but the raw stuff to look at I think they're prettier and have loads dotted about the house (and don't they attract dust )

I wondered too if there was any difference, does tumbling them affect their energies, diminish them in any way?

I really prefer the raw stones myself. The tumbled ones are pretty and shiny but they seem very....well, like they've been civilized or tamed or molded to fit someone else's idea of pretty or something. I guess I just feel closer to the raw ones.

I'm like you Violet - I like to handle the tumbles and look at the raw ones.
