Healing Stones Chat: 10-17-06
(09:38:59) (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

(09:39:49) (Cris) Welcome to Healing Stones. The introduction of this chat is based on the Edgar Cayce readings complied in the book, Gems and Stones.
(09:40:08) (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.
(09:41:01) (Cris) Tonight we are covering two elements because of the extensive reading excerpts of Lapis
(09:41:15) (Cris) Our first metal is Gold
(09:41:29) (Cris) Native gold is usually alloyed with silver in varying amounts and sometimes traces of copper and iron. It has a hardness of 2.5 to 3, metallic luster and a gold yellow color. Please note that gold may also be reddish or white in color depending on where it is mined and the alloys used.
(09:42:01) (Cris) Reddish gold can be found in South Dakota
(09:42:14) (Cris) It sometimes contains traces of copper
(09:42:34) (Cris) Gold is widely distributed throughout the world, being most frequently found in quartz veins and various placer deposits.
(09:42:52) (Cris) The main occurrence of gold in the United States is summarized by Dana and Ford (p. 403). An unusually large deposit is known to be present at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
(09:43:11) (Cris) That is the US Treasury gold
(09:43:22) (Cris) Please note that the textbook the information on gold deposits was taken from is an old book. We now know gold is found in many places in the US and is often leached out of crushed hard rock with a cyanide solution.
(09:44:02) (Cris) Gold increases the healing properties in stones. Jewelry set in gold has a special energy. Gold is also associated with love and faithfulness. That is why it is used in wedding bands.
(09:44:14) (Cris) Reading Excerpt for this metal is combined with other minerals.

(09:44:26) (Cris) Any questions on gold?
(09:45:03) (Rosie) cris...what is white gold?
(09:45:15) (Bill) gold trivia if you took all the gold ever mined and put it in one place it would only cover a ft. ball field 3' thick
(09:45:20) (Cris) Gold with platinum
(09:45:32) (Cris) or silver
(09:45:44) (Cris) with silver being in a higher concentration
(09:45:53) (Rosie) you mean "mixed with"?
(09:46:10) (Cris) platinum has also been called white gold
(09:46:29) (Bill) gold is to soft on its own for most jewlery
(09:46:47) (Cris) gold is a very soft metal so others metals such as silver are added
(09:46:58) (Cris) to give it strength
(09:47:02) (Rosie) ahhh...ok....have always wondered about that!
(09:47:34) (Cris) That's why you have the karet system to see how pure the gold is
(09:47:51) (Cris) 24k is more gold than 10K
(09:48:12) (Cris) 24k bends easier than the 10K
(09:48:14) (Rosie) is 24K the highest concentration? Seems that's what y ou hear about the most
(09:48:28) (Cris) that is sold commercially
(09:48:37) (Bill) 1 oz. of gold is so maliable it can be made into a string that would go around the world platinum could be strung to the moon and back
(09:49:10) (Cris) In ancient times gold was worked by hand
(09:49:14) (Rosie) ok...I had it backwards
(09:49:59) (Cris) Goldsmiths were honored professionals
(09:50:16) (Cris) Lapis Family
(09:50:27) (Cris) Tonight we will just cover Lapis Lazuli and save Lapis Laguris (thought to be Malachite) and Lapis Linguis (Azurite) until next week. The reading excerpts for Lapis Linguis are too extensive for one session.
(09:50:55) (Cris) Lapis Lazuli
(09:51:17) (Cris) Lapis Lazuli or lazurite is a massive compact stone that ranges in color from rich Berlin blue to azure blue, through violet blue and greenish blue. Its harness is 5 to 5. Lazurite is probably always a contact metamorphic mineral and usually occurs in limestones near granite masses.
(09:51:30) (Cris) It commonly encloses small grains of pyrite Lapis Lazuli (lazurite) is found in Afghanistan, Turkestan, Persia, Italy and Chile. It occurs in the United States on Italian Mountain, Gunnison County, Colorado.
(09:51:52) (Cris) Remember the references in te Cayce book is taken from old references
(09:52:28) (Cris) Lapis has recently been found in quite a few places
(09:52:48) (Rosie) you mean in the U.S.?
(09:52:51) (Cris) In ancient Egypt and Babylonia, lapis lazuli was highly valued. In Egypt, for instance, pieces of lapis lazuli were inscribed with certain chapters of the Book of the Dead, a very ancient book whose chapters describe the passage of the soul of the deceased through the realm of the dead.
(09:53:20) (Cris) “The form of an eye, fashioned out of lapis lazuli and ornamented with gold, constituted an amulet of great power. It was inscribed with the 140th chapter of the Book of the Dead. On the last day of the month, Mechair, and offering of all things good and holy was to be made before this symbolic eye. For on that day the supreme God, Ra, was believed to place such an image on his head.” (Kunz p. 229)
(09:53:47) (Cris) “A notable instance of the use of lapis lazuli in ancient Egypt was the material for the image of Truth (Ma) which the Egyptian chief justice wore on his neck suspended from a golden chain.” (Ibid. p.119)
(09:54:06) (Cris) Some authorities consider lapis lazuli the 5th and others the 11th stone of the magic breastplate. An old tradition states that the tables of the Law of Moses were inscribed on two blocks of lapis lazuli.
(09:54:18) (Cris) This stone was also used in ceremonies in The Temple of heaven in China, “and the Chinese sacred writings record how at one time the priest-kings bore it as an offering to the Lord of the Universe.” (Kozminsky, p. 255).
(09:54:31) (Cris) Ancient physicians used the gem to treat eye trouble. The old alchemists appear to alluded to it as the Stone of Heaven.
(09:54:52) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(09:55:07) (Cris) In giving that which may be helpful for this entity in this experience, (we give) not only from the astrological sojourn of the entity in the environs about the earth – that have been credited by the ancients to those influences upon the earth, the active forces in their positions about the earth – but those things that are more than omens, the various accredited vibrations as in stones, etc., (which) we find having an influence upon the entity.
(09:55:27) (Cris) (In plain English it is said lapis is helpful to this person not only for the astrological sign but also because of the vibrations of the stone.)
(09:55:51) (Cris) For the entity should ever wear about the body the lapis lazuli or the lapis linguis; for these will bring strength to the body through those vibrations that are brought or built in the innate experience of the entity from its sojourn in the Egyptian land…. But wear the stone about the body and touching the body.

(09:56:28) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(09:56:39) (Cris) Q-7 If I were to wear the stone lapis lazuli or lapis linguis as suggested in a previous reading, would it improve my mental, physical or spiritual position?
(09:56:49) (Rosie) so apparently it was in ancient times carved into an "eye" due to the knowledge that it had the capability to heal eye problems??
(09:56:49) (Cris) A-7 This naturally is to make, as indicated, the body more sensitive to higher vibrations. Not so much in the physical health as in the mental and spiritual influences, that would be materially aided.
(09:56:59) (Cris) Reading 691-2 Female 34
(09:57:15) (Cris) Born 4/11/1900
(09:57:31) (Cris) The last two reading excerpts were for the same woman
(09:58:02) (Cris) I think because Lapis is supposed to open the third eye
(09:58:14) (Cris) It is noted for enhancing intuition
(09:58:35) (Cris) ancient medicine people also used it for eye ailments
(09:58:35) (Rosie) interesting that it was also used to heal eyes!
(09:58:55) (Cris) yes it is
(09:59:38) (Cris) In some experiments lapis has helped people trying to meditate
(09:59:56) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:00:06) (Cris) As to stones – have near to self; wear preferably upon the body, about the neck the lapis lazuli. This preferably encased in crystal. It will not be merely as an ornament but as strength from the emanation, which will be gained by the body always from same. For the stone itself is an emanation of vibrations of the elements that give vitality, strength and that of assurance in self.

(10:00:21) (Rosie) hey whatta ya know...I have this book you're quoting from!
(10:00:22) (Cris) Born 12/9/20
(10:00:46) (Cris) Gem & Stones? I bought mine at the ARE
(10:01:27) (Cris) It's a good primer for people interested in the Cayce material
(10:01:32) (Rosie) yep!...think mine may have been a gift...don't remember
(10:01:50) (Cris) Because this is an ARE chat is it the first one I'm using for this series
(10:02:22) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:02:32) (Cris) Symbols and such activities have always meant something to the entity. Hence certain characters of adornments would be well about the entity. Keep something blue, and especially the color and emanations of the lapis lazuli (about the body); not the slick or polished nature, but of that nature that the emanations from same may giver life and vitality.

(10:03:03) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:03:11) (Cris) Q-4 Any color stone or symbol for spiritual development?
(10:03:23) (Cris) A-4 The lapis lazuli worn close to the body would be well for the general health of the body – and this on you will have to be careful of very soon. The lapis lazuli of course, is an erosion of copper; but this encased in glass and worn about the body would be well.
(10:03:32) (Cris) Reading 3416-1 Female 40
(10:03:41) (Cris) Born 1/15/04
(10:03:54) (merri) a warning there
(10:03:54) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:04:16) (Cris) yes she couldn't tolerate the stone directly
(10:04:33) (Cris) Please note this is not the first time that Cayce noted in a reading that a mineral be encased for an individual. However, that same mineral was told to be used against the skin for another person.
(10:05:00) (Rosie) without the glass?
(10:05:08) (Cris) In one case it was because the person had worked with it in the past it was a familiar vibration to her
(10:05:22) (Bill) or crystal and that some should not wear the stone
(10:05:40) (Cris) For the one who was told to have it under glass the vibrations were too strong for this incarnation on direct skin
(10:06:16) (Cris) Not every stone or mineral should be worn by just anyone
(10:06:42) (Cris) The stone should be compatible with your vibrations
(10:07:06) (Cris) The stones vibrate to different frequencies
(10:07:25) (Rosie) this is my question...how do you know?
(10:07:53) (Cris) By the way you feel when you wear or carry a stone
(10:08:02) (Bill) look in the mirror if your hair is straight out abandon the stone
(10:08:10) (Rosie) ROFL!!!!
(10:08:13) (Cris) lol Bill
(10:08:17) (merri) LOL
(10:08:22) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Bill!
(10:08:36) (Cris) If it gives you a headache or you feel off it isn't for you
(10:08:37) (Rosie) man, you've been comin' up with some real corkers lately! heehee!
(10:08:47) (merri) or if it turns your skin green where it touches!
(10:09:03) (Bill) then its copper
(10:09:19) (Bill) i think we will be drawen to the stones that suit us
(10:09:28) (Cris) You really ought to keep notes on the jewelry you wear
(10:09:39) (Rosie) take me, for example...I can't really "feel" the vibrations...I just know what I like or what I'm drawn to
(10:09:46) (Cris) don't wear something you dislike to please someone
(10:09:56) (Cris) wear it because it makes you feel good
(10:10:14) (Cris) I refuse to wear diamonds
(10:10:20) (Cris) they feel off on me
(10:10:24) (merri) send me diamonds and I'll feel fantastic!!!
(10:10:29) (Rosie) LOL
(10:10:43) (Cris) I do wear an emerald ring
(10:11:06) (Cris) Bill is right we are drawn to the stones we need in life
(10:11:17) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:11:37) (Rosie) well I hope turquoise is suited to my vibes, otherwise I'm on some kind of bad overload! heehee!
(10:11:38) (Cris) A-7 Lapis langis, lapis lazuli. This we find might be said to be a part of the same composition referred to; for it carries that vibration which will give strength to the body. Well that this be preserved between thin layers of glass or such compositions, else the radiation is too great.
(10:11:57) (Cris) turquoise repels negativity
(10:12:14) (Cris) Reading 1931-2 male 20
(10:12:22) (Cris) Born 9/11/19
(10:12:36) (merri) I have always been drawn to Lapis...thought it was the color
(10:12:39) (Rosie) everyone could use some of it, then
(10:12:54) (Cris) there it is again with between glass for an individual
(10:13:24) (Cris) Lapis is thought to promote clear understanding and intuition. It can balance the thyroid gland while strengthening the neck and vocal cords. People who have low blood pressure should never use it.
(10:21:12) (Cris) Any questions on lapis?
(10:42:32) (Rosie) thank you, cris! very interesting!
(10:42:53) (WalksInSpirit) Yes, thank you Cris! Great chat & great info tonight!
(10:43:05) (Cris) I hope the material wasn't too dry for anyone
(10:43:12) (Rosie) I wonder why turquoise isn't mentioned in the cayce book...is it not considered "precious"?
(10:43:16) (merri) not at all Cris
(10:43:21) (Bill) it was very good Cris TY
(10:43:27) (Cris) Thanks everyone
(10:44:14) (Bill) maybe no one asked about it Rosie
(10:44:33) (Rosie) it apprently didn't come up in readings
(10:45:18) (Cris) If it did it wasn't included in the cayce book
(10:45:26) (WalksInSpirit) My People consider Turquoise to be a protector stone.
(10:45:54) (Cris) I have an interesting story on turquoise if you want to hear it
(10:45:55) (Rosie) well, if it repels negativity then I can see why
(10:46:04) (Rosie) sure!
(10:46:06) (WalksInSpirit) If a warrior wore it into battle, he wouldn't be killed.
(10:46:58) (Rosie) interesting, WE...maybe that explains how I survived journalism! heehee!
(10:47:05) (Cris) A dear friend of mine went to Costa Rica with her sister. She felt sick most of the trip so she went to a native healer for a reading
(10:47:07) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Rosie
(10:47:43) (Cris) He told her her sister was draining her energy if she thought back she would remember how toxic that sister was to her as a child
(10:48:04) (Cris) She said it was true they had never gotten along until they were adults
(10:48:44) (Cris) He told her the only way to reduce the influence of her sister's negativity was to carry turquoise at all times around her
(10:49:06) (Cris) Since she has done that she's not had a problem
(10:49:20) (merri) Kooooool!
(10:49:22) (Rosie) wow
(10:49:26) (WalksInSpirit) Cool!
(10:50:05) (Rosie) maybe turquoise IS how I survived journalism!!! There were some people who really did not like me and some of them carried guns
(10:50:19) (Cris) the vibrations repelled the influence of the sister's negativity
(10:50:22) (merri) Yikes!
(10:50:43) (Bill) Turquoise has been thought to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing color. In the 13th century, Turquoise was thought to protect the wearer from falling especially from horses. Legend has it that the Indians believed that if turquoise was affixed to a bow, the arrows shot from it would always hit their mark. It was also believed to bring happiness and good fortune to all.
(10:51:44) (Bill) now Rosie from the gang you know all about your turquoise
(10:51:50) (merri) what stone are "mood" rings made of...they change color
(10:52:05) (Rosie) and I thank you!
(10:52:06) (Cris) Turquoise will change color if you are in in a toxic situation
(10:52:18) (Cris) we've noted that in our gem club
(10:52:28) (Rosie) I just can't imagine that happening...the changing color thing
(10:52:33) (Cris) the same way some stones get cloudy if you are ill
(10:52:37) (Bill) do moon stones also change color?
(10:53:05) (Rosie) I notice in the back of the book it says turquoise was mentioned once in the readings
(10:53:15) (Cris) They pick up on other colors and light so they look different
(10:53:24) (Cris) under different lighting conditions
(10:54:21) (Rosie) I have never seen mine change color
(10:54:46) (Rosie) 35. (Q) Please give any advice to the mother that will assist in making for the best development of this entity.
(10:54:58) (Rosie) A) Always let a portion of the dress, either external or that close to the body, have something of BLUE in same. Keep not as a charm, but as the influences that may bring the greater force about the body, the moonstone or the bloodstone as the ornaments about the body; but those that will be found (that are akin to these) in the turquoise blue and the pigeon-blood ruby.
(10:55:32) (Rosie) cris, is that a blue one that turns green???
(10:56:04) (Cris) People do under estimate the influence of color and stones in their lives
(10:56:48) (Cris) My turquoise if blue a ligher blue but will take on a greenish cast
(10:56:59) (Rosie) I find four references...two are in reference to where you can dig it...one is the one I just posted and the other also has to do with wearing the color, not the vibrational influence of the stone itself
(11:00:20) (Bill) turquoise is: aluminum,copper, Phosphorus , Hydrogen , & Oxygen
(11:02:00) (Cris) Have to go Blessings all Thanks for coming
(09:39:10) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe

(09:55:51) (Cris) For the entity should ever wear about the body the lapis lazuli or the lapis linguis; for these will bring strength to the body through those vibrations that are brought or built in the innate experience of the entity from its sojourn in the Egyptian land…. But wear the stone about the body and touching the body.

(09:56:39) (Cris) Q-7 If I were to wear the stone lapis lazuli or lapis linguis as suggested in a previous reading, would it improve my mental, physical or spiritual position?
(09:56:49) (Rosie) so apparently it was in ancient times carved into an "eye" due to the knowledge that it had the capability to heal eye problems??
(09:56:49) (Cris) A-7 This naturally is to make, as indicated, the body more sensitive to higher vibrations. Not so much in the physical health as in the mental and spiritual influences, that would be materially aided.

(09:57:31) (Cris) The last two reading excerpts were for the same woman
(09:58:02) (Cris) I think because Lapis is supposed to open the third eye
(09:58:14) (Cris) It is noted for enhancing intuition
(09:58:35) (Cris) ancient medicine people also used it for eye ailments
(09:58:35) (Rosie) interesting that it was also used to heal eyes!
(09:58:55) (Cris) yes it is
(09:59:38) (Cris) In some experiments lapis has helped people trying to meditate
(09:59:56) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:00:06) (Cris) As to stones – have near to self; wear preferably upon the body, about the neck the lapis lazuli. This preferably encased in crystal. It will not be merely as an ornament but as strength from the emanation, which will be gained by the body always from same. For the stone itself is an emanation of vibrations of the elements that give vitality, strength and that of assurance in self.

(10:01:32) (Rosie) yep!...think mine may have been a gift...don't remember
(10:01:50) (Cris) Because this is an ARE chat is it the first one I'm using for this series
(10:02:22) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:02:32) (Cris) Symbols and such activities have always meant something to the entity. Hence certain characters of adornments would be well about the entity. Keep something blue, and especially the color and emanations of the lapis lazuli (about the body); not the slick or polished nature, but of that nature that the emanations from same may giver life and vitality.

(10:03:11) (Cris) Q-4 Any color stone or symbol for spiritual development?
(10:03:23) (Cris) A-4 The lapis lazuli worn close to the body would be well for the general health of the body – and this on you will have to be careful of very soon. The lapis lazuli of course, is an erosion of copper; but this encased in glass and worn about the body would be well.

(10:03:54) (merri) a warning there
(10:03:54) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:04:16) (Cris) yes she couldn't tolerate the stone directly
(10:04:33) (Cris) Please note this is not the first time that Cayce noted in a reading that a mineral be encased for an individual. However, that same mineral was told to be used against the skin for another person.
(10:05:00) (Rosie) without the glass?
(10:05:08) (Cris) In one case it was because the person had worked with it in the past it was a familiar vibration to her
(10:05:22) (Bill) or crystal and that some should not wear the stone
(10:05:40) (Cris) For the one who was told to have it under glass the vibrations were too strong for this incarnation on direct skin
(10:06:16) (Cris) Not every stone or mineral should be worn by just anyone
(10:06:42) (Cris) The stone should be compatible with your vibrations
(10:07:06) (Cris) The stones vibrate to different frequencies
(10:07:25) (Rosie) this is my question...how do you know?
(10:07:53) (Cris) By the way you feel when you wear or carry a stone
(10:08:02) (Bill) look in the mirror if your hair is straight out abandon the stone
(10:08:10) (Rosie) ROFL!!!!
(10:08:13) (Cris) lol Bill
(10:08:17) (merri) LOL
(10:08:22) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Bill!
(10:08:36) (Cris) If it gives you a headache or you feel off it isn't for you
(10:08:37) (Rosie) man, you've been comin' up with some real corkers lately! heehee!
(10:08:47) (merri) or if it turns your skin green where it touches!
(10:09:03) (Bill) then its copper
(10:09:19) (Bill) i think we will be drawen to the stones that suit us
(10:09:28) (Cris) You really ought to keep notes on the jewelry you wear
(10:09:39) (Rosie) take me, for example...I can't really "feel" the vibrations...I just know what I like or what I'm drawn to
(10:09:46) (Cris) don't wear something you dislike to please someone
(10:09:56) (Cris) wear it because it makes you feel good
(10:10:14) (Cris) I refuse to wear diamonds
(10:10:20) (Cris) they feel off on me
(10:10:24) (merri) send me diamonds and I'll feel fantastic!!!
(10:10:29) (Rosie) LOL
(10:10:43) (Cris) I do wear an emerald ring
(10:11:06) (Cris) Bill is right we are drawn to the stones we need in life
(10:11:17) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:11:37) (Rosie) well I hope turquoise is suited to my vibes, otherwise I'm on some kind of bad overload! heehee!
(10:11:38) (Cris) A-7 Lapis langis, lapis lazuli. This we find might be said to be a part of the same composition referred to; for it carries that vibration which will give strength to the body. Well that this be preserved between thin layers of glass or such compositions, else the radiation is too great.

(10:12:36) (merri) I have always been drawn to Lapis...thought it was the color
(10:12:39) (Rosie) everyone could use some of it, then
(10:12:54) (Cris) there it is again with between glass for an individual
(10:13:24) (Cris) Lapis is thought to promote clear understanding and intuition. It can balance the thyroid gland while strengthening the neck and vocal cords. People who have low blood pressure should never use it.
(10:21:12) (Cris) Any questions on lapis?
(10:42:32) (Rosie) thank you, cris! very interesting!
(10:42:53) (WalksInSpirit) Yes, thank you Cris! Great chat & great info tonight!
(10:43:05) (Cris) I hope the material wasn't too dry for anyone
(10:43:12) (Rosie) I wonder why turquoise isn't mentioned in the cayce book...is it not considered "precious"?
(10:43:16) (merri) not at all Cris
(10:43:21) (Bill) it was very good Cris TY
(10:43:27) (Cris) Thanks everyone
(10:44:14) (Bill) maybe no one asked about it Rosie
(10:44:33) (Rosie) it apprently didn't come up in readings
(10:45:18) (Cris) If it did it wasn't included in the cayce book
(10:45:26) (WalksInSpirit) My People consider Turquoise to be a protector stone.
(10:45:54) (Cris) I have an interesting story on turquoise if you want to hear it
(10:45:55) (Rosie) well, if it repels negativity then I can see why
(10:46:04) (Rosie) sure!
(10:46:06) (WalksInSpirit) If a warrior wore it into battle, he wouldn't be killed.
(10:46:58) (Rosie) interesting, WE...maybe that explains how I survived journalism! heehee!
(10:47:05) (Cris) A dear friend of mine went to Costa Rica with her sister. She felt sick most of the trip so she went to a native healer for a reading
(10:47:07) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Rosie
(10:47:43) (Cris) He told her her sister was draining her energy if she thought back she would remember how toxic that sister was to her as a child
(10:48:04) (Cris) She said it was true they had never gotten along until they were adults
(10:48:44) (Cris) He told her the only way to reduce the influence of her sister's negativity was to carry turquoise at all times around her
(10:49:06) (Cris) Since she has done that she's not had a problem
(10:49:20) (merri) Kooooool!
(10:49:22) (Rosie) wow
(10:49:26) (WalksInSpirit) Cool!
(10:50:05) (Rosie) maybe turquoise IS how I survived journalism!!! There were some people who really did not like me and some of them carried guns
(10:50:19) (Cris) the vibrations repelled the influence of the sister's negativity
(10:50:22) (merri) Yikes!
(10:50:43) (Bill) Turquoise has been thought to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing color. In the 13th century, Turquoise was thought to protect the wearer from falling especially from horses. Legend has it that the Indians believed that if turquoise was affixed to a bow, the arrows shot from it would always hit their mark. It was also believed to bring happiness and good fortune to all.
(10:51:44) (Bill) now Rosie from the gang you know all about your turquoise
(10:51:50) (merri) what stone are "mood" rings made of...they change color
(10:52:05) (Rosie) and I thank you!
(10:52:06) (Cris) Turquoise will change color if you are in in a toxic situation
(10:52:18) (Cris) we've noted that in our gem club
(10:52:28) (Rosie) I just can't imagine that happening...the changing color thing
(10:52:33) (Cris) the same way some stones get cloudy if you are ill
(10:52:37) (Bill) do moon stones also change color?
(10:53:05) (Rosie) I notice in the back of the book it says turquoise was mentioned once in the readings
(10:53:15) (Cris) They pick up on other colors and light so they look different
(10:53:24) (Cris) under different lighting conditions
(10:54:21) (Rosie) I have never seen mine change color
(10:54:46) (Rosie) 35. (Q) Please give any advice to the mother that will assist in making for the best development of this entity.
(10:54:58) (Rosie) A) Always let a portion of the dress, either external or that close to the body, have something of BLUE in same. Keep not as a charm, but as the influences that may bring the greater force about the body, the moonstone or the bloodstone as the ornaments about the body; but those that will be found (that are akin to these) in the turquoise blue and the pigeon-blood ruby.
(10:55:32) (Rosie) cris, is that a blue one that turns green???
(10:56:04) (Cris) People do under estimate the influence of color and stones in their lives
(10:56:48) (Cris) My turquoise if blue a ligher blue but will take on a greenish cast
(10:56:59) (Rosie) I find four references...two are in reference to where you can dig it...one is the one I just posted and the other also has to do with wearing the color, not the vibrational influence of the stone itself
(11:00:20) (Bill) turquoise is: aluminum,copper, Phosphorus , Hydrogen , & Oxygen
(11:02:00) (Cris) Have to go Blessings all Thanks for coming
