Natural Stone Properties for Stone Plugs & Ear Plugs
At Auxshine, we carefully select each material for our stone plugs based on durability, beauty, and wearability. Understanding the properties of different stones helps you choose the perfect pair for your collection or your customers.
Hardness & Durability for Everyday Wear
When choosing stone plugs, hardness matters. Stones with Mohs hardness of 6 or higher (like Amethyst, Tiger’s Eye, and Jade) offer excellent scratch resistance for daily wear. Softer stones like Obsidian and Opalite (hardness 5-5.5) require gentler care but offer unique visual qualities. Our ear plugs collection includes both durable natural stones and carefully crafted synthetic options to suit every preference.
Natural vs. Synthetic Materials for Ear Plugs
Our ear plugs range includes both natural gemstones and high-quality synthetic materials. Natural stones like Amethyst, Jade, and Obsidian offer unique veining and authentic energy properties. Synthetic options like Opalite, Iridescent Glass, and Synthetic Turquoise provide consistent color, lighter weight, and affordable pricing — perfect for everyday rotation or matching specific color schemes.
