yes, IMO, it is like beeing for real in front of a "real" good old tree : we are overcome by emotions that the photos do not convey at all. It may seem excessive but for me these stones have a soul : something is happening. I had the same feeling with Jan Culek shells I recieved. And the price is quite reasonable (imo).
Do you think it will be okay in terms of stability once the tree is in?
