They consist of Iphone, Terra-Pura dog food, yoga mats, Alnatura wholemeal cookies and Essie nail polish. At the interface between capitalism and transcendence–insights from the work of the self-appointed stone goddess and artist Sarah Steiner.
BIANCOID
Characteristics & effects
The Biancoid, also known as women‘s ice or Mary’s glass, is a special stone because it is not necessarily suitable for solving physical problems. Its high transparency makes it all the more a stone that is used for intellectual development.
“It has the ability to store and transfer information. This would also explain why the stone is sometimes also known as phone stone.”
Sensitive people can also use it for telepathic communication, as it has the ability to store and transfer information. This would also explain why the stone is sometimes also known as phone stone. People who had a piece of the same Biancoid, were able to exchange information.
BREXIDIAN
Characteristics & effects
The Brexidian is also called the stone of the genius, often forming double pyramids, so-called octahedrons. This form is certainly the most curative for our mind, as it increases our brain activity. It stimulates the hemispheres of our brain to work together optimally. The stone is irreplaceable, be- cause it was given to us from the cosmos in order to increase our intellect and expand our consciousness.
“There is also evidence of success in the treatment of mental illness.”

The Granat sets our soul in gentle vibrations and promotes our love and tenderness as well as our sense of all beauty. It helps artists, especially musicians, painters and poets, to exploit their full potential. Since the Granat has calming and soothing powers, it promotes the healing of all heart diseases. Set in gold, it has a beneficial effect on multiple sclerosis.

LAKTOIT
Characteristics & effects
The Lactoit is often confused with Biancoit because of its appearance. It also has very similar healing effects, although from a mineralogical point of view there are no similarities. The Laktoit is often coloured artificially and mistakenly marketed as Granat. The best way to avoid this is to buy stones in specialist shops.
“The best way to avoid fake stones is to buy them in specialist shops.”

This stone is ideal for people struggling with eating disorders or obesity. Thanks to its draining effect, it removes the resulting swelling from the joints, especially in the legs.
ERDBERGER DIAMANT
Characteristics & effects
The Erdberg diamond, the most majestic stone of all, is probably the most valuable gift we have ever received. Through its universal healing power, it helps us with any problem whatsoever. But those whoare not mature enough for this stone and wear it for unnoble motives should be warned. It reflects all negative thoughts of the owner back on him. Many traditions tell that people who owned a larger Erdberg Diamond suddenly and strangely died or even voluntarily left life.

Viennese artist Sarah Steiner (31) studies Transmedial Art with Brigitte Kowanz at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. She works primarily in a sculptural context, often using text as sculptural material. Sarah Steiner thinks that “beauty is what makes life worth living,” though it is better to enjoy it in small doses—too much beauty can make us sick. When asked what heals us, the artist laughs: “If only I knew!”
