Healing Stones Chat: 10-03-06
(09:31:44) (Cris) Lord and Protector of all please be with us on our spiritual journey as we seek a higher plane of thought. Let us see opportunity to work in your grace as we come together to seek peace in this world. Amen
(09:31:54) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(09:32:01) (merri) Amen
(09:32:09) (Blu) Amen
(09:32:22) (Roz) Amen
(09:32:44) (Cris) Welcome to Healing Stones. The introduction of this chat is based on the Edgar Cayce Readings compiled in the book, Gems and Stones.
(09:33:05) (Cris) Keep in mind that this lesson can be interrupted if you have any questions you want answered or is you are confused about anything that is said. This study is taken directly from the book, Gem and Stones, based on the Edgar Cayce Readings. It is the starting point for this series on healing with stones.
(09:34:05) (Cris) I am covering three minerals per session to make it easier for people to keep up. I will answer questions on other minerals at the end of covering these
(09:34:17) (Blu) Thank you Cris
(09:34:26) (Cris) Crysolite
(09:34:29) (WalksInSpirit) Sounds great, Cris!
(09:34:45) (Roz) great plan Cris
(09:34:55) (Cris) Crysolite (Olivine) has two distinct methods of occurrence: (a) in igneous rocks as peridotite, norite, basalt, diabase and gabbro…..(b) As the product of certain metamorphism of certain sedimentary rocks containing magnesium and silica….” (Dana and Ford p. 599) Crysolite is commonly olive green but may range through browns and reds.
(09:35:19) (Cris) It exhibits the luster and fracture of glass and has a hardness of 6 to 7. The clear green varieties are termed peridot but peridot is to be distinguished from “peridot of Brazil” and “peridot of Ceylon” which are tourmalines. Crysolite occurs in the United States at Thetford, Vermont: Webster, North Carolina; and at a few places in Arizona and New Mexico
(09:35:41) (Cris) Again, please note the sources for this information were from very early reference books. This mineral has been discovered in many other places in the US and abroad by mining companies.
(09:36:18) (Cris) In some areas of Virginia the road crews use this mineral in the asphalt giving them a greenish cast
(09:36:56) (Roz) love peridot it is so clear
(09:37:22) (merri) my grandaughter's birthstone
(09:37:38) (Cris) I do too in some ways it is prettier than emeralds if they aren't a decent grade
(09:39:05) (Roz) and so hard to get an emerald w/o flaws
(09:39:09) (Cris) This was the end of the cayce section on Chrysolites
(09:39:21) (Cris) You can if they ar manmade
(09:39:45) (Roz) yah
(09:39:49) (Blu) are man made as good as natural in terms of spiritual use?
(09:39:58) (Cris) but the lab grown lacks the warmth of those dug from the earth
(09:40:14) (Blu) guess that answers that question!
(09:40:21) (Cris) You can see a difference side by side it lacks the spark
(09:40:44) (Cris) Copper
(09:40:53) (Roz) can always tell a real stone if ya put it up to your face
(09:41:54) (Cris) “Pure” copper found in nature sometimes contains small amounts of iron, silver, bismuth, tin, lead or antimony. Its color is copper red; it has a metallic luster and a hardness of 2.5 to 3.
(09:42:14) (Cris) Native copper usually occurs in beds and veins associated with chalcopyrite, chalcocite, cuperite, malachite and azurite. In the United States it is found in great abundance on the Keweenaw Peninsula in northern Michigan. Copper crystals are found in Bisbee and Globe, Arizona and at Georgetown, New Mexico.
(09:42:31) (Cris) Small amounts of copper can be found in Alabama
(09:42:48) (Cris) Reading Excerpts:
(09:43:18) (Cris) The excerpts are from the Cayce life readings when mineral questions were asked
(09:43:40) (Cris) As will be, as has been the experience, days and periods the vibrations from metals and their elements have a great deal of influence on the entity.
(09:44:34) (Cris) Hence as we find, the days close to and upon the thirteenth of October make for the periods when the events, the happenings, the changes, the decisions become mandatory in the influence of the entity.
(09:44:53) (Cris) It will be found that the odors of henna tolu and myrrh, create an influence of ease while the fire opal, the lapis or copper in its elemental form, bring great passion; and intentness, the abilities to lose emotions through the very centers of the body for the closer association of the spiritual with the activated influences of the mental self.
(09:45:06) (Cris) But the well of truth, yea that fountains of eternal life, wells up from within.

(09:45:33) (Roz) WOW interesting
(09:46:11) (Blu) he named it down to the day...incredable
(09:46:31) (Cris) I wish more of the readings went into mineral influences
(09:46:44) (Blu) really!
(09:46:55) (Cris) More excerpts:
(09:47:00) (Cris) We find it would be very helpful for the entity to wear upon the body a piece of stone that is of the lapis lazuli variety, but the essence of fusion of copper; not worn as a charm but as a helpful force in the vibrations that will coordinate with the body. This worn as a locket or the like would be helpful.
(09:47:20) (Cris) Reading 1651-2 Female 49
(09:47:28) (Cris) Born 11/6/1889
(09:47:46) (Blu) what does fussion of copper mean, fuses with lapis?
(09:48:44) (Cris) It means it works well with lapis
(09:48:52) (Blu) ok
(09:48:58) (Cris) they enhance each others properties
(09:49:21) (Cris) copper can be used on all chakras
(09:49:37) (Cris) It helps in meditation
(09:49:44) (Roz) I find that gold works well w/Lapis also
(09:49:44) (Blu) interesting, now how am I going to convert my jewelry?
(09:50:30) (Cris) Yes it does and in more than one instance Cayce said the mineral should be wrapped or set in gold
(09:50:33) (Roz) better than silver
(09:51:33) (Cris) The next mineral is formed from fossils
(09:51:43) (Cris) Coral
(09:52:15) (Cris) The precious (red; Corallium rubrum) coral is found widespread on the borders and around the islands of the Mediterranean Sea. It ranges in depth from shallow water (25 to 50 feet) to water over 1000 feet. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1956 v. 6 p. 431)
(09:52:57) (Cris) “Coral, which for twenty centuries or more was classed among the precious stones, to retain its power as an amulet, must not have been worked, and in Italy such pieces are valued for this purpose as have been freshly gathered from the sea or have been cast up by the sea on the shore.” (ibid. p. 69)
(09:53:18) (Cris) “No gem has been more employed as a charm for averting the fell spell of the evil eye than the innocent coral which was credited with the power of destroying the first stroke of the glance, after which it – like the drawn fang of the serpent – was rendered incapable of injury..” (Kozminsky p. 173)
(09:53:41) (Cris) “Plato says, Coral is good to be hanged around children’s necks as well as to rub their gums to preserve them from the falling sickness. It hath also some special sympathy with nature, for the best coral being worn about the neck, will turn pale and wan if the party that wears it be sick and it comes to its former color again as they recover health.” (ibid, p. 174)
(09:53:43) (Roz) hey how intersting
(09:54:22) (Cris) Coral isn't the only mineral to dull when a person wearing it becomes ill
(09:54:45) (Cris) even diamonds get cloudy when the wearer is ill
(09:54:56) (Blu) I would never have thoughtof that
(09:54:59) (Cris) quite a few stones cloud up
(09:55:27) (Roz) and amythist
(09:55:31) (Cris) they regain their clarity when the wearer is well or the stone is passed on to a new owner
(09:55:47) (Roz) or put into the sun
(09:56:04) (Cris) that restores them too
(09:56:13) (merri) is it something the body lacks when one is sick that clouds the stone
(09:56:25) (Cris) It is as though some of the energy is leached from them
(09:56:37) (Roz) been super Cris got to go L&L to all
(09:56:41) (Blu) I would think it has to do with vibration
(09:56:46) (WalksInSpirit) Light of a Full Moon will cleanse Quartz Crystals.
(09:57:24) (Cris) It does because on an atomic level everything is a mass of vibrations
(09:57:39) (Cris) Brown corals are supposed to delight evil spirits ad oriental mystics warn against wearing dull, dirty or discolored specimens.
(09:57:48) (Cris) Reading Excerpts:
(09:58:02) (Cris) Q-7 Are there any colors or jewelry that I should wear in order to have better vibrations? If so, what?
(09:58:18) (Cris) A-7 Any jewelry or ornaments that are of coral would be well; for this is – represents , as it is in itself of Creative Forces or from the water itself. Red, white or coral in any form.
(09:58:26) (Cris) Reading 307-15 Female 60
(09:58:33) (Blu) cool
(09:58:36) (Cris) Born 6/6/1878
(09:58:56) (Cris) Another excerpt:
(09:59:09) (Cris) Hence we find be cause of the activities of the entity through the earth have involved and do involve the lives and activities of the many, the elements which are of natures vibrations would have, do have, much to do with the entities activity.
(09:59:22) (Cris) Coral should be worn about the entity at all times: worn – not as a charm, not other than the vibrations of the body as related to same. Because of the very nature of its construction, and the very activity of the soul forces of the entity, this (coral) would become a helpful influence in the experience of the entity. Hence this we would wear about the body but against the flesh.
(09:59:39) (Cris) All things that have to do with such as marine activities will be part of the entities ultimate activities in this material experience.
(10:00:02) (Cris) For a birth into materiality is not by chance, but the will of the Creative Forces may make manifest in the experience of each soul, its purpose in a material and mental plane.
(10:00:18) (Cris) Through the very indications of that element as would be helpful inits experience (the coral) we find that the entity is highly sensitive to intuitive forces, spiritual aspects, spiritual imports.
(10:00:29) (Cris) Reading 2073-2 Female 40
(10:00:37) (Cris) Born 4/25/1900
(10:01:06) (Cris) It is interesting to note many of the pearl divers wear coral
(10:01:40) (Blu) I have never really paid attention to coral
(10:01:59) (Blu) Going to look for some now!
(10:02:10) (Cris) Some people say it enhances their intuitive ability
(10:02:46) (Cris) You can find it at bead shops and at gem and mineral shows but make sure it isn't dyed
(10:03:15) (Cris) A lot of it is
(10:03:15) (Cris) Any questions?
(10:03:44) (Blu) how do you know if it is dyed?
(10:04:15) (Cris) Ask and look at it carefully the color shouldn't rub off
(10:04:24) (Blu) ok
(10:04:41) (Blu) What is your favorite stone to wear Cris?
(10:05:00) (Cris) Mine is jade and amethyst
(10:05:25) (Cris) I have all kinds but wear those most frequently
(10:05:30) (Blu) I wear a lot of lapis and amethyst
(10:05:49) (Cris) Coral symbolizes joy and happiness
(10:06:16) (Blu) also sapphires
(10:06:17) (Cris) Red coral can be used on the root chakra
(10:06:51) (Blu) interesting, have never really worked to much with the chakras and stones
(10:07:05) (Blu) does size matter?
(10:07:07) (Cris) Coral protects against negative energy
(10:07:23) (Cris) Only if you are Godzilla
(10:07:31) (Blu) LOL
(10:07:40) (Blu) so a bead would work?
(10:07:46) (Blu) or several beads?
(10:07:47) (WalksInSpirit) LOL
(10:08:03) (Cris) Coral is often used as spacer in bead necklaces
(10:08:29) (Cris) coral can make a nice necklace by itself
(10:09:27) (WalksInSpirit) I had a shell necklace I got in Galveston, TX that had coral spacers in it, Cris.
(10:09:53) (Cris) An interesting experiment is to try wearing different stones and note how you feel when you wear them
(10:10:37) (Cris) It is also worth noting how others react to them because sometimes I find negative people leave you alone when you wear certain stones
(10:10:38) (David_au) I wear different stones and wear them appropriately to how i wish to feel :)
(10:10:41) (Blu) That is a good idea Cris. When I want to be sure to get an ap I wear my lapis earrings
(10:11:33) (Cris) I don't know if the vibration of the stone repells them or they just feel uncomfortable
(10:11:44) (Moira) wow Cris which stones would they be?
(10:11:47) (Blu) people react to vibrations
(10:12:07) (Cris) Different stones for different people I'll list some
(10:12:49) (MaryAnne) Cris, since you work with stones do you sometimes get a feel for what stone would be appropriate for others?
(10:13:39) (Moira) I read that flourite and turqoise are good to ward off negative influences Cris
(10:14:10) (WalksInSpirit) My People believe that if a Warrior wears Turquoise into battle, he won't be killed.
(10:14:57) (Cris) Fluorite is good as is coral, jade turquoise
(10:14:57) (Blu) LOL @ Moira
(10:15:01) (WalksInSpirit) I used to have a big chunk of raw turquoise.
(10:18:13) (Cris) Amazonite is good too
(10:19:23) (Blu) so is Crysolite the same as peridote? I did not understand that
(10:19:24) (Cris) I am taking questions now on specific stones
(10:19:52) (Cris) It is the mother stone to peridot
(10:20:00) (Moira) how about amber have you done that one
(10:20:16) (Cris) one of the ways it forms
(10:20:23) (Blu) ok
(10:20:31) (Cris) what would you like to know about amber?
(10:20:40) (Blu) do they make jewelry of it?
(10:21:06) (Cris) Amber is used for jewelry and carving
(10:21:22) (Cris) It is used to stimulate the metabolic system
(10:21:24) (Moira) how cute stones have children ....little stone families
(10:21:43) (Cris) It is also used for allergy and asthma
(10:21:55) (Moira) ty
(10:22:22) (Cris) What it means is that it forms in different ways from massive to crystals
(10:22:25) (Bill) amber at one time was used for currency
(10:22:51) (Moira) where Bill
(10:22:55) (merri) where does amber come from Cris
(10:23:02) (Cris) ground amber is used to treat infection adn boils
(10:23:12) (Bill) around the Baltic sea area would be my guess
(10:23:16) (Cris) It is fossilzed tree sap
(10:23:16) (Moira) oh okay
(10:23:26) (merri) right
(10:23:28) (Cris) that's why you see insects in it
(10:23:37) (Moira) maple syrup lol
(10:23:40) (merri) a thick liquid at first?
(10:23:40) (Cris) they were trapped when the sap was liquid
(10:24:01) (Bill) it is also probably one of the most faked
(10:24:31) (Cris) Not always just a lot of it sometimes it collected in pools
(10:25:07) (Cris) Copal found in some places is a very young amber
(10:25:21) (Cris) Not to be confused with the fossil variety
(10:26:33) (Cris) Another interesting stone is barite
(10:27:05) (Cris) it forms in rose shapes
(10:27:15) (WalksInSpirit) Yep. Rose Rocks!
(10:27:27) (WalksInSpirit) We have those back home in Oklahoma.
(10:27:28) (Bill) desert roses?
(10:27:33) (Moira) I recognize that it is tan in color isnt it
(10:27:34) (Cris) It protects against radiation and those working around computers all day
(10:27:56) (Cris) Barite can be anything from a dusty brown to bright blue crystals
(10:28:08) (Moira) that would be nice to have on one's desk
(10:28:39) (Cris) It also helps with fungal infections
(10:29:22) (WalksInSpirit) Me and my best friend used to pick 'em up when we were kids. The guy at the little gift shop down the road would give us a dime each for them. Then, he put them in a small bag, stuck a little card in them that told about them, and sold 'em for $1 each to tourists!
(10:29:45) (Cris) You can order them on line at western rock shops or go to a gem and mineral show
(10:30:05) (Cris) They are still sold that way WIS
(10:30:13) (WalksInSpirit) Yep! :-)
(10:30:18) (Cris) in some cases for more than a dollar
(10:30:56) (Cris) You can find them in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona
(10:31:30) (Cris) The state geology offices can direct you to approved collecting sites
(10:32:07) (Cris) Do Not collect on private property without permission or you might end up in jail for tresspassing
(10:33:12) (Cris) Most land owners are willing to let you look if you aren't agressive and ask nicely. Be sure to back fill all holes
(10:33:55) (Cris) Does anyone else have any mineral questions before we revert to open chat?
(10:34:14) (Blu) Not me , Thank you!
(10:34:36) (Blu) This has been good, I am going to have WIS get my Christmas list from you Cris!

It hath also some special sympathy with nature, for the best coral being worn about the neck, will turn pale and wan if the party that wears it be sick and it comes to its former color again as they recover health.” (ibid, p. 174)
(09:53:43) (Roz) hey how intersting
(09:54:22) (Cris) Coral isn't the only mineral to dull when a person wearing it becomes ill
(09:54:45) (Cris) even diamonds get cloudy when the wearer is ill
(09:54:56) (Blu) I would never have thoughtof that
(09:54:59) (Cris) quite a few stones cloud up
(09:55:27) (Roz) and amythist
(09:55:31) (Cris) they regain their clarity when the wearer is well or the stone is passed on to a new owner
(09:55:47) (Roz) or put into the sun
(09:56:04) (Cris) that restores them too
(09:56:13) (merri) is it something the body lacks when one is sick that clouds the stone
(09:56:25) (Cris) It is as though some of the energy is leached from them
(09:56:37) (Roz) been super Cris got to go L&L to all
(09:56:41) (Blu) I would think it has to do with vibration
(09:56:46) (WalksInSpirit) Light of a Full Moon will cleanse Quartz Crystals.
(09:57:24) (Cris) It does because on an atomic level everything is a mass of vibrations
(09:57:39) (Cris) Brown corals are supposed to delight evil spirits ad oriental mystics warn against wearing dull, dirty or discolored specimens.
(09:57:48) (Cris) Reading Excerpts:
(09:58:02) (Cris) Q-7 Are there any colors or jewelry that I should wear in order to have better vibrations? If so, what?
(09:58:18) (Cris) A-7 Any jewelry or ornaments that are of coral would be well; for this is – represents , as it is in itself of Creative Forces or from the water itself. Red, white or coral in any form.

(09:58:56) (Cris) Another excerpt:
(09:59:09) (Cris) Hence we find be cause of the activities of the entity through the earth have involved and do involve the lives and activities of the many, the elements which are of natures vibrations would have, do have, much to do with the entities activity.
(09:59:22) (Cris) Coral should be worn about the entity at all times: worn – not as a charm, not other than the vibrations of the body as related to same. Because of the very nature of its construction, and the very activity of the soul forces of the entity, this (coral) would become a helpful influence in the experience of the entity. Hence this we would wear about the body but against the flesh.
(09:59:39) (Cris) All things that have to do with such as marine activities will be part of the entities ultimate activities in this material experience.
(10:00:02) (Cris) For a birth into materiality is not by chance, but the will of the Creative Forces may make manifest in the experience of each soul, its purpose in a material and mental plane.
(10:00:18) (Cris) Through the very indications of that element as would be helpful inits experience (the coral) we find that the entity is highly sensitive to intuitive forces, spiritual aspects, spiritual imports.

(10:01:06) (Cris) It is interesting to note many of the pearl divers wear coral
(10:01:40) (Blu) I have never really paid attention to coral
(10:01:59) (Blu) Going to look for some now!
(10:02:10) (Cris) Some people say it enhances their intuitive ability
(10:02:46) (Cris) You can find it at bead shops and at gem and mineral shows but make sure it isn't dyed
(10:03:15) (Cris) A lot of it is
(10:03:15) (Cris) Any questions?
(10:03:44) (Blu) how do you know if it is dyed?
(10:04:15) (Cris) Ask and look at it carefully the color shouldn't rub off
(10:04:24) (Blu) ok
(10:04:41) (Blu) What is your favorite stone to wear Cris?
(10:05:00) (Cris) Mine is jade and amethyst
(10:05:25) (Cris) I have all kinds but wear those most frequently
(10:05:30) (Blu) I wear a lot of lapis and amethyst
(10:05:49) (Cris) Coral symbolizes joy and happiness
(10:06:16) (Blu) also sapphires
(10:06:17) (Cris) Red coral can be used on the root chakra
(10:06:51) (Blu) interesting, have never really worked to much with the chakras and stones
(10:07:05) (Blu) does size matter?
(10:07:07) (Cris) Coral protects against negative energy
(10:07:23) (Cris) Only if you are Godzilla
(10:07:31) (Blu) LOL
(10:07:40) (Blu) so a bead would work?
(10:07:46) (Blu) or several beads?
(10:07:47) (WalksInSpirit) LOL
(10:08:03) (Cris) Coral is often used as spacer in bead necklaces
(10:08:29) (Cris) coral can make a nice necklace by itself
(10:09:27) (WalksInSpirit) I had a shell necklace I got in Galveston, TX that had coral spacers in it, Cris.
(10:09:53) (Cris) An interesting experiment is to try wearing different stones and note how you feel when you wear them
(10:10:37) (Cris) It is also worth noting how others react to them because sometimes I find negative people leave you alone when you wear certain stones
(10:10:38) (David_au) I wear different stones and wear them appropriately to how i wish to feel :)
(10:10:41) (Blu) That is a good idea Cris. When I want to be sure to get an ap I wear my lapis earrings
(10:11:33) (Cris) I don't know if the vibration of the stone repells them or they just feel uncomfortable
(10:11:44) (Moira) wow Cris which stones would they be?
(10:11:47) (Blu) people react to vibrations
(10:12:07) (Cris) Different stones for different people I'll list some
(10:12:49) (MaryAnne) Cris, since you work with stones do you sometimes get a feel for what stone would be appropriate for others?
(10:13:39) (Moira) I read that flourite and turqoise are good to ward off negative influences Cris
(10:14:10) (WalksInSpirit) My People believe that if a Warrior wears Turquoise into battle, he won't be killed.
(10:14:57) (Cris) Fluorite is good as is coral, jade turquoise
(10:14:57) (Blu) LOL @ Moira
(10:15:01) (WalksInSpirit) I used to have a big chunk of raw turquoise.
(10:18:13) (Cris) Amazonite is good too
(10:19:23) (Blu) so is Crysolite the same as peridote? I did not understand that
(10:19:24) (Cris) I am taking questions now on specific stones
(10:19:52) (Cris) It is the mother stone to peridot
(10:20:00) (Moira) how about amber have you done that one
(10:20:16) (Cris) one of the ways it forms
(10:20:23) (Blu) ok
(10:20:31) (Cris) what would you like to know about amber?
(10:20:40) (Blu) do they make jewelry of it?
(10:21:06) (Cris) Amber is used for jewelry and carving
(10:21:22) (Cris) It is used to stimulate the metabolic system
(10:21:24) (Moira) how cute stones have children ....little stone families
(10:21:43) (Cris) It is also used for allergy and asthma
(10:21:55) (Moira) ty
(10:22:22) (Cris) What it means is that it forms in different ways from massive to crystals
(10:22:25) (Bill) amber at one time was used for currency
(10:22:51) (Moira) where Bill
(10:22:55) (merri) where does amber come from Cris
(10:23:02) (Cris) ground amber is used to treat infection adn boils
(10:23:12) (Bill) around the Baltic sea area would be my guess
(10:23:16) (Cris) It is fossilzed tree sap
(10:23:16) (Moira) oh okay
(10:23:26) (merri) right
(10:23:28) (Cris) that's why you see insects in it
(10:23:37) (Moira) maple syrup lol
(10:23:40) (merri) a thick liquid at first?
(10:23:40) (Cris) they were trapped when the sap was liquid
(10:24:01) (Bill) it is also probably one of the most faked
(10:24:31) (Cris) Not always just a lot of it sometimes it collected in pools
(10:25:07) (Cris) Copal found in some places is a very young amber
(10:25:21) (Cris) Not to be confused with the fossil variety
(10:26:33) (Cris) Another interesting stone is barite
(10:27:05) (Cris) it forms in rose shapes
(10:27:15) (WalksInSpirit) Yep. Rose Rocks!
(10:27:27) (WalksInSpirit) We have those back home in Oklahoma.
(10:27:28) (Bill) desert roses?
(10:27:33) (Moira) I recognize that it is tan in color isnt it
(10:27:34) (Cris) It protects against radiation and those working around computers all day
(10:27:56) (Cris) Barite can be anything from a dusty brown to bright blue crystals
(10:28:08) (Moira) that would be nice to have on one's desk
(10:28:39) (Cris) It also helps with fungal infections
(10:29:22) (WalksInSpirit) Me and my best friend used to pick 'em up when we were kids. The guy at the little gift shop down the road would give us a dime each for them. Then, he put them in a small bag, stuck a little card in them that told about them, and sold 'em for $1 each to tourists!
(10:29:45) (Cris) You can order them on line at western rock shops or go to a gem and mineral show
(10:30:05) (Cris) They are still sold that way WIS
(10:30:13) (WalksInSpirit) Yep! :-)
(10:30:18) (Cris) in some cases for more than a dollar
(10:30:56) (Cris) You can find them in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona
(10:31:30) (Cris) The state geology offices can direct you to approved collecting sites
(10:32:07) (Cris) Do Not collect on private property without permission or you might end up in jail for tresspassing
(10:33:12) (Cris) Most land owners are willing to let you look if you aren't agressive and ask nicely. Be sure to back fill all holes
(10:33:55) (Cris) Does anyone else have any mineral questions before we revert to open chat?
(10:34:14) (Blu) Not me , Thank you!
(10:34:36) (Blu) This has been good, I am going to have WIS get my Christmas list from you Cris!
