BAKERITE

Colour:  white, very much like porcelain

Found in: Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Turkey, US

Named after R.C. Baker, discoverer of the species.

Crystal healers suggest that this stone is good at coping with allergies as it increases the body's ability to withstand stress, and strengthens the immune system.
