I personally prefer the mochi balls. they have a 'smoother' feel to them. The boji stones are 'harsher' to me.

The mochi balls do work on more of a fine sandpaper while the boji work much like a jackhammer. LOL I know funny way to describe it.  

I had a set of mochi balls but they wanted to go home with my step mom. She has fibromyalgia, so maybe that is why.

I have been working with Boji Stones and they have helped my Lupus. Mochi Balls seem to work on a different level.....and yes, Novia, they seem to be "softer" energy-wise. Great stones all the way around!

Nyllynn, Mochi Balls and Boji Stones are stones, not crystals. Kinda ugly when you first see them, until you feel their energies. If you go into the Encyclopedia sectrion here, we have a very wonderful section on Crystals and Gemstones.

If you are interested in purchsing stones and crystals, check your local yellow pages under "Lapidary" and also alot of Metaphysical stores carry a selection of stones. Also, if you look for Gem-Shows coming thru your area, you can purchase some amazing pieces that way as well.

Blessings Bright and Dark,

That and if you have a 'science' oriented store they often carry lots of stones as well.

I'm lucky enough to know a guy that used to stock the small case at the Children's Museum and he works at a store nearby that carries lots of not only stones but fossils as well. I'm sure if there was something special I wanted he'd find it for me.

Also if you do have a metapphysical shop near you and are in need of somehting special, ask. They are more than willing to help their clientelle, all's you gotta do is ask.
