TEM DESCRIPTION
Natural dendritic stone said to be from the top area of Mount Sinai / Jabal Musa in Egypt. The dark fern-like dendrite patterns are often described as resembling the Burning Bush (סנה) and are treasured as meaningful keepsakes and souvenirs.
Each stone is completely unique in pattern and shape. The photos are examples and your stone will have its own natural design.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THESE STONES
Many people believe that when these stones are broken open, the same branch-like pattern can often be seen inside the stone as well — something said to be unique to this type of Sinai stone. I share this out of respect for the tradition and the people who value it.
PLEASE NOTE
Some people believe these stones are spiritually significant. I respectfully present them as natural stones with beautiful dendritic patterns, and make no historical or religious guarantees about origin or meaning.

The Mysterious Stones of Mount Sinai Own A Piece Of History
A granite stone from the top area of Mount Sinai showing what seems to be a depiction of a bush (סנה). Collection item - August 1989 Hand picked by a group of historians, visiting the top of Mount Sinai The most famous mountain in history, as described in the Torah The most unique rock in the world, Each rock is unique to itself Rock will never lose it’s internal image, The image of the bush will remain even if you break it A good luck charm to keep in house,
As has been written by many religious scholars and rabbi’s Rabbi Yaakov Emden writes in Migdal Oz (Zitamar 220b), “The stones of Mount Sinai have on them an image of the sneh; therefore this mountain is called Sinai because of the sneh in which G-d revealed Himself to Moshe. One of the distinguished members of Barcelona brought to me some of these stones and I saw on them the sneh in perfect detail. This is a Heavenly phenomenon, for when I broke the stone in pieces I found the image of the sneh on every side and inner part of the stone, and I marveled at this.” Similarly, the kabbalistic work Arvei Nachal (Parshat Shemot) notes, “It is known that the image of this sneh appears on all the stones of Mount Sinai, and it is a wondrous sign that this is so, since when any such stone is broken into fragments, each will have an image of the sneh. Indeed, these stones from Mount Sinai are a segula for the revelation of the Torah.”
