"The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."
— Psalm 118:22 (ESV)
Apostle John wrote, "When I saw him, I fell as this feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, 'Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades'" - Revelation 1:17-18.
"The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters." - Revelation 1:14-15
He was there before the foundation of the world.
These stones were gathered by hand from the beaches of Plymouth, Massachusetts - America's Hometown (for a reason). The Pilgrims loved Jesus -
They respectfully honored and worshipped His greatness and were thankful and grateful for all that He provided for them - because they did what was right in His eyes.
And we, here at NE Nova, are especially thankful for the foundation our forefathers (and mothers) built. We are grateful and thankful in our prayers to our Father who blessed this town from it's beginnings with people who loved Him and through that love brought blessings upon this place - truly making it - America's Hometown.
We are especially grateful for all of the beautiful treasures, big and small - that He guides to the shores, for us to gather - for you (and me).
These stones bear His signature and symbolism - of the greatest sacrifice ever made.
Not printed. Not carved. Not placed by human hands. A J, etched naturally into the face of a stone by tide and time. Crosses — not one, not two, but many — pressed into the surfaces of these smooth, rounded stones exactly as the Creator formed them. The number 3. The number 8. New beginnings. The resurrection. The Trinity.
What You're Holding
Thirty-seven stones from the shores of Plymouth, in a palette that feels almost sacred — soft dove gray, slate blue, warm amber, dusty rose, deep charcoal, and honey gold. Each one smooth, dense, and satisfying in the hand. Stone types include:
-
Blue-Gray Quartzite — Smooth, dense, and a soft slate blue that deepens when held. Several bear natural cross markings on their surface.
-
Warm Feldspar Granite — honey gold and amber, speckled with dark minerals, shaped by tide into rounded, palm-filling forms.
-
Dusty Rose Granite — blush and warm white tones with subtle mineral patterning. Gentle and unexpected.
-
Deep Charcoal Metabasalt — dark, dense, and smooth with a distinctive waxy surface. Grounding and still.
-
The J Stone — you will know it when you find it. A natural J, formed by the shore itself. There is no explanation. There is only wonder.
Each stone is one-of-a-kind.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." — Hebrews 13:8
