Healing Stones Chat: 10-10-06
(09:33:09) (Cris) Any questions on particular stones?
(09:33:41) (Cris) Tonight we will cover crystal diamond and emerald
(09:37:14) (Cris) In Bill's talk last night it mentioned the mineral kingdom
(09:37:37) (Cris) This is about specific minerals
(09:43:03) (Cris) Welcome to Healing Stones. The introduction of this chat is based on the Edgar Cayce readings complied in the book, Gems and Stones.
(09:43:21) (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
(09:43:35) (Cheryl) Amen, Cris
(09:43:41) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(09:43:43) (merri) Amen
(09:43:54) (Roz) Amen
(09:44:28) (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.
(09:45:25) (Cris) Every week we are covering three specific stones according to the cayce readings
(09:46:49) (Cris) Rock crystal is colorless or nearly colorless quartz, whether in distinct crystals or not. Its harness is a 7. Crystal can be found in many localities throughout the world. In the United States brilliant crystals can be found in Middleville, Ellenville, and Little Falls, New York. Beautiful colorless crystals also occur at Hot Springs, Arkansas. (Dana and Ford P. 474)
(09:47:25) (Cris) Keep in mind the references are old quartz crystals can be found in many states today
(09:47:44) (Cris) The art of crystal gazing with an eye toward prophecies is well known. Kunz (pp. 207-233) has summarized the lore of crystal balls and points out that for “The Japanese rock crystal is the “perfect Jewel, tama, it is at once a symbol of purity and of the infinity of space and also patience and perseverance. (Kunz, p. 217)
(09:48:25) (Cris) Through out the centuries quartz crystals have been sought after for mystical properties
(09:49:03) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(09:49:22) (Cris) As to the elemental influences having to do with the entity’s experience – we find that the crystal as a stone, or any white stone, has a helpful influence. It should be carried about the body; not as an omen, not merely as a “good luck piece” or “good luck charm” but these vibrations are that are needed, as helpful influences for the entity are well kept close about the body.
(09:50:52) (Cris) It should be remembered that the crystal is a focusing tool for the mind
(09:51:28) (lilith) Cris - are these the plain ones, or the lovely rose ones?
(09:52:05) (Cris) plain quartz crystals
(09:52:13) (lilith) ty
(09:52:16) (Cris) They are also healing stones
(09:52:37) (lilith) got that - but the rose ones get so warm, thought they would be in there somewhere
(09:53:02) (Cris) They sdtimulate the immune system and sooth burns
(09:54:18) (Cris) Rose quartz promotes unconditional love
(09:54:33) (Cris) and peace
(09:55:04) (Cris) It strenghtens the heart and circulatory system
(09:55:19) (lilith) it is soft, somehow, cris - the rose quartz and so soothing
(09:55:22) (Blu) *passing out Rose Quartz to the room*
(09:55:54) (Cris) It's a warm healing stone when worn
(09:55:58) (mimi) thanks Blu, I needed that
(09:56:06) (Blu) ;-D
(09:56:14) (lilith) ty Blu
(09:56:14) (Cris) Diamond
(09:56:49) (Cris) Cayce had a lot of diamond referals
(09:57:07) (lilith) I personally have a lot of diamond wishes!!
(09:57:17) (Cris) It has a hardness of 10, being the hardest substance known. A diamond is composed of pure carbon and the name has been derived by corruption from the ancient Greek name for the mineral that means the invincible. Diamonds are found in several countries.
(09:57:31) (mimi) what are referals? Cris?
(09:57:36) (Cris) Again remember the references are old
(09:57:48) (Cris) reading excerpts
(09:58:06) (Cris) They occur mainly in stream deposits ( gravels, sands and silts). In the United States a few stones have been found in gravels in North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Colorado, California and Wisconsin. Near Murfreesboro, Arkansas, diamonds occur in the soil and in a peridotite rock. Africa, Brazil and India are regions wherein great quantities have been mined.
(09:58:37) (Cris) There are also major diamond fields open in Canada today
(09:59:14) (Cris) Kunz relates the following in regard to legends concerning the therapeutic use of the diamond: “In the Babylonian Talmud we read of a marvelous precious stone belonging to Abraham. This was perhaps a diamond or possibly a pearl.
(09:59:14) (Anonymous) are we looking for money or healing?
(09:59:28) (Cris) The following version represents it to be a diamond: R. Simeon, Ben Johanan said, “A diamond was hanging on Abraham’s neck, and when a sick man looked upon it he was cured. And when Abraham passed away, the Lord sealed it into the planet of the sun.’” (Kunz p. 377)
(10:00:13) (Cris) “The Hindus believed that it was extremely dangerous to use diamonds of inferior quality for curative purposes as they would not only fail to remedy the disease for which they were prescribed, but might cause lameness, jaundice, pleurisy and even leprosy.” (Ibid. p. 378)
(10:00:33) (Cris) “To dream of diamonds was considered symbolical of success, wealth and happiness and victory and its reputed power of binding every man and woman together in happy wedlock has made it a favorite stone for engagement rings and in some countries for wedding rings.”
(10:00:34) (Blu) wow did not even think of that Cris!
(10:01:08) (Anonymous) if this stone is worth this and that stone is worth that,
(10:01:26) (Blu) its not about money Anon
(10:01:40) (Blu) its about attunement
(10:01:54) (Cris) In healing diamond treats glaucoma aqnd clears sight
(10:02:11) (Cris) Reading Excerpts:
(10:02:45) (Cris) Q-5 “Is there any particular stone or stones I should wear?”
(10:02:59) (Cris) A-5 Gold in the form of circles or many bangles and the like are greater help to the entity than stones; save diamonds.
(10:03:20) (Cris) Reading 852-12 Female 18
(10:03:30) (Cris) Born 6/5/17
(10:03:40) (Blu) I have never heard that either, like hoop earrings?
(10:03:43) (Cris) Another excerpt:
(10:04:03) (Cris) bangles are the gold bracelets
(10:04:04) (lilith) Cris - does it mention what karat weight the gold should be??
(10:04:22) (Cris) No just gold
(10:04:26) (lilith) OOOOHHH!
(10:04:50) (Anonymous) pick a stone any stone tell it it is your healing stone and it will heal
(10:04:52) (lilith) sorry about the caps
(10:05:13) (lilith) rose quartz gets so hot in my hand - just love it
(10:05:15) (Cris) In the present experience, things pertaining to the Oriental mind become f special interest to the entity; as also especially the intricate work as carvings, filigree, and activities of such a nature that were part of the entity’s experiences throughout that sojourn.
(10:05:36) (Cris) Things overlaid with gold, ivory or coral, things of that nature become part of the entity’s experience. These are innate or manifested by a great influence.
(10:05:49) (Cris) Hence the abilities of the entity in the present to attain or maintain close relationship to vibratory influences and forces, whether they emanate from the mineral, the animal or the vegetable kingdoms. All of these become innately as portions of the entity’s experience.
(10:06:01) (Cris) Reading 1847-1 Female 61
(10:06:06) (Cris) Born 5/15/1878
(10:06:54) (Cris) Different stones vibrate at varying rates anonymous
(10:07:41) (Cris) because our bodies are made of atoms certain stones can help our vibrations
(10:08:07) (Cris) Excerpt:
(10:08:17) (Cris) Before that the entity was in the Egyptian land when there were those activities in the replenishing or reestablishing of the activities of the Priest with the return from banishment.
(10:08:30) (Cris) The entity was among those in charge of the preparations of the precious metals; as a carver of gold, as a carver of stones- as of rubies, diamonds, emeralds and of those (stones) prepared for those in authority and in power.
(10:08:51) (Cris) As each stones indeed has the spirit – as the spirit of the pearl – the spirit of the diamond – it is the fire that may be in a little different vibration, burned – so that in its oppression (misuse) it may bring that which fires the imagination of those who are very selfish or it may bring peace to the wearer.
(10:09:25) (Cris) One wonders if some of the Hope diamond wearers were not in tune with its vibrations
(10:09:57) (Cris) The diamond is selfish in its very nature, while you will find the pearl is a natural consequence of irritation – and it will bring either peace or irritation to the wearer as will the diamond while all of the others have their varying vibrations as the bloodstone or the others as the entity as indicated in the things set down during those periods of activity in Egypt as Ark-uen.
(10:10:02) (Roz) saw a raw one today 56 carats uncut
(10:10:13) (Cris) Reading 3657-1 Male 58
(10:10:23) (Cris) Born 11/8/1885
(10:10:27) (lilith) wow! roz!~
(10:10:41) (mimi) sounds like a big one Roz, did ya get it??
(10:11:04) (Cris) That would be a fantastic sight Roz
(10:11:39) (Cris) Excerpt:
(10:11:53) (Cris) In Venus we find appreciation of beauty, as well as of things. Ye should find the diamond and ruby close to your body oft, for their vibrations will keep the vibrations of the body in better attune with infinity and not with purely mental or material things in life.

(10:12:57) (Cris) Reading 1561-1 Male 57
(10:13:06) (Cris) Born 9/6/1880
(10:13:32) (Cris) Any questions on diamonds
(10:14:41) (lilith) believe that about the pearls - lluv them - very smooth, very soft feeling
(10:14:49) (mimi) thats ok lilith I don't have any diamonds either
(10:15:13) (Cris) Diamonds symbolize wisdom and enlightenment
(10:15:35) (Cris) Our next mineral is Emerald
(10:16:01) (Cris) Emerald is the clear emerald green variety of beryl and should not be confused with the oriental emerald of jewelry, which is an emerald colored sapphire. The emerald’s coloration is due to small amounts of chromium. Its physical and chemical properties are those of beryl.
(10:16:13) (Cris) Good emeralds are not common in the United States. The most famous locality for emeralds in the world is Muso, Colombia.
(10:17:11) (Cris) Again the references used in the Cayce Book Gems and Stones were from some years back
(10:17:44) (Cris) New deposits of good quality emeralds have recently been found in North carolina
(10:18:20) (Cris) Therapeutic uses of the emerald were largely as an antidote for poisons and as a deterrent for possession by demons. They were also used in treatment of diseases of the eye.
(10:18:33) (Cris) Emeralds found in the workings of the old Kleopatra mines are of the light beryl variety. “These gems were very much sought after in ancient times, the Egyptian women being esteemed of the best searchers “because of their superior eyesight.” (Kozminsky, p. 141)
(10:19:20) (Cris) All of the Cayce references to emeralds were covered under beryl
(10:19:47) (Cris) Is there any questions on the stones covered tonight?
(10:20:39) (lilith) terrific difference in colors in those stones, Cris - columbian are so clear & pure looking - lots of others, as you know, are just plain cloudy lookin'
(10:21:14) (Cris) Yes they are Lilith it depends on where they are mined
(10:21:46) (Cris) Some of the recent finds in North Carolina are spectacular
(10:21:52) (lilith) Cayce say anything about how the greeks used to grind up amethysts to "strengtjen their digeestion?"
(10:22:00) (Cris) they have exceptional clarity
(10:22:43) (Cris) No
(10:23:09) (lilith) what's the largest NC emerald lately, Cris?
(10:23:11) (Cris) Amethyst can relieve headaches
(10:23:45) (lilith) how does that work, Cris - not grinding it up, surely!
(10:23:51) (Cris) Some 16 inch crystals were found near Hiddenite
(10:24:18) (Cris) No just wearing amethyst helps
(10:27:51) (Roz) Love and Light All ...Thanks Cris great chat even with all the interuptions
(10:28:18) (Cris) It is now open chat
(10:28:34) (Blu) That was intersting stuff Cris!
(10:28:46) (lilith) Enjoyed that immensely, Cris
(10:31:15) (Cris) I would like to encourage people to see some of the local gem & mineral shows those put on by mineral societies
(10:31:32) (Blu) I am looking forward to it Cris
(10:31:32) (Moira) ty Cris
(10:31:50) (Cris) They usually have a variety of stones for sale at a very reasonable rate
(10:32:40) (Cris) many of the jewelry dealers sell the same things jewelry stores do without nearly as much mark up
(10:33:06) (Anonymous) they who ever they were gave you a hard time, you did a good job
(10:33:06) (Leon) I have a very slight interest in gemsbut there is a remarkable gem shop in Franklin,NC
(10:33:07) (Blu) mark up in our store is out rageous

(10:34:58) (lilith) Still want/will never afford - a huge piece of amethyst, about a foot tall, that I can just polish & look at~
(10:35:49) (WalksInSpirit) Cris, great chat tonight! Thank you!

(10:18:33) (Cris) Emeralds found in the workings of the old Kleopatra mines are of the light beryl variety. “These gems were very much sought after in ancient times, the Egyptian women being esteemed of the best searchers “because of their superior eyesight.” (Kozminsky, p. 141)
(10:19:20) (Cris) All of the Cayce references to emeralds were covered under beryl
(10:19:47) (Cris) Is there any questions on the stones covered tonight?
(10:20:39) (lilith) terrific difference in colors in those stones, Cris - columbian are so clear & pure looking - lots of others, as you know, are just plain cloudy lookin'
(10:21:14) (Cris) Yes they are Lilith it depends on where they are mined
(10:21:46) (Cris) Some of the recent finds in North Carolina are spectacular
(10:21:52) (lilith) Cayce say anything about how the greeks used to grind up amethysts to "strengtjen their digeestion?"
(10:22:00) (Cris) they have exceptional clarity
(10:22:43) (Cris) No
(10:23:09) (lilith) what's the largest NC emerald lately, Cris?
(10:23:11) (Cris) Amethyst can relieve headaches
(10:23:45) (lilith) how does that work, Cris - not grinding it up, surely!
(10:23:51) (Cris) Some 16 inch crystals were found near Hiddenite
(10:24:18) (Cris) No just wearing amethyst helps
