(09:32:22) (Cris) Welcome to Healing Stones. The introduction of this chat is based on the Edgar Cayce readings complied in the book, Gems and Stones.
(09:32:52) (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.
(09:33:23) (Cris) The first metal of the evening is Platinum
(09:33:59) (Cris) Edgar Cayce didn't have a lot to say in the readings but did cover it some
(09:34:13) (Cris) Native platinum is whitish steel gray in color and has a metallic luster. It has a hardness of 4.0 to 4.5 and is sometimes magnetic and usually occurs in grains and scales. This mineral is rare in the United States. It occurs in the gold sands of Rutherford and Burke Counties, North Carolina and in the black sands of California placers.
(09:34:55) (Cris) The references are older platinum has been discovered in several other places in the US
(09:35:37) (Cris) There were no reading excerpts except for those referenced with gold
(09:36:07) (Cris) Platinum Alleviates depression and improves memory. Provides permanence to relationships and stimulates self-approval. Enhances intuition, psychic abilities and awareness of other levels
(09:37:12) (Cris) we will wait for Roz any questions so far?
(09:38:07) (Rosie) what's platinum's relationship with gold? Makes me think of an album that goes "platinum" before it goes "gold"
(09:38:37) (Cris) platinum is more rare than gold
(09:39:00) (Rosie) but not related directly to gold?
(09:39:04) (Bill) platinum is worth more money than gold as well
(09:39:05) (Cris) it is a harder metal
(09:39:31) (Rosie) I didn't know that!
(09:39:40) (Cris) yes it is and some people like it because it has less give than gold. Gold is easily warped
(09:39:45) (Bill) Platinum is more maliable than gold 1 oz. can be stretched thin enough to go to the moon and back
(09:40:15) (Rosie) what's it used for?
(09:40:24) (Blu) I have noticed I am hard on my gold rings, ripped a stone rightout of a set and bruised the heck out of my finger
(09:40:31) (Cris) It forms a finer thread but wears better in rings
(09:41:07) (Rosie) so it's used in jewelry?
(09:41:08) (Cris) Jewelry, medical equipment all kinds of things
(09:41:09) (WalksInSpirit) Well, actually, an album will go Gold before it goes Platinum, according to the RIAA.
(09:41:28) (Cris) Physically it stabilizes the physical body, clears the digestive tract, and stimulates the health of the eyes.
(09:41:29) (Rosie) oh....OK WE...was beginning to wonder if I had that backwards!
(09:41:29) (Bill) glad your the one that told her W_E :o)
(09:42:07) (WalksInSpirit) ;-$
(09:42:17) (Cris) On an emotional level it improves one’s ability to interpret psychic experiences. Enhances one’s ability to move towards one’s goals.
(09:42:19) (Rosie) goes to show how much I know about jewelry AND good music :o)
(09:42:25) (Bill) Cris do they call platinum white gold in jewlery?
(09:43:18) (Cris) Sometimes when it is mixed with gold. But silver mixed with gold also carries that label at times
(09:43:30) (Bill) IC TY
(09:44:29) (Cris) Gold also ranges from a very pale gold color in some areas to really golden or almot red
(09:44:54) (Cris) South Dakota has beautiful reddish gold
(09:45:39) (Cris) The next mineral we are covering is the ruby
(09:45:49) (WalksInSpirit) I have some Black Hills Gold. It's beautiful. :-)
(09:46:02) (Cris) yes it is
(09:46:34) (Cris) there are two varieties of corundum the ruby and the sapphire
(09:47:07) (merri) I'll take either!
(09:47:11) (Cris) the difference is that rubies always have a reddish color sapphires are blue, white black and green
(09:47:12) (Roz) is a pink sapphire a ruby?
(09:47:24) (Rosie) lol...merri is our jewelry maven, I think :o)
(09:47:27) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Merri!
(09:47:27) (Cris) technially speaking yes
(09:48:12) (Cris) Rubies are found in the United States at Amity, New York and Vernon, New Jersey. They usually occur in places as accessory minerals in crystalline rocks.
(09:48:49) (Cris) For those who are interested North Carolina has ruby and sapphire mines
(09:49:57) (Cris) “To dream of a ruby indicated to the businessmen rich patronage and success in trade, to the farmer a successful harvest and to the professional man elevation or fame and success in different degrees. It was always considered more fortunate to wear the ruby on the left hand or left side of the body.” (Kozminsky, p. 350)
(09:50:27) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(09:50:42) (Cris) Q-5 Is there any stone or ring waiting somewhere for me, that I should wear? What causes the feeling that there is, and what power has such a stone in reference to one’s life?
(09:51:10) (Cris) A-5 That has been builded on by the knowledge which has come to self oft, as to the influences that are without self. That thoughts are things and may be miracles or crimes is true. So the experiences have brought that; as to how those things in their various emanations of the cosmic or etheric forces in nature gather about them – as in stones- a concentration of force or power.
(09:51:16) (Moira) lol my dog just stole my notes dah
(09:51:41) (Cris) The ruby would make for the body that not as something which would be other than power that self attributes to same, through its actual experience. But the light or reflection from same (the ruby) worn on the hand or body, will enable the body to concentrate in its mental application the greater – through the influences such a stone brings to material expression.
(09:52:25) (Cris) How? Each element, each stone, each variation of stone has its own atomic movement, held together by the units of energy that in the universe are concentrated in that particular activity. Hence they come under varied activities according to their color, vibration or emanation.
(09:53:00) (Cris) Here again we hear about atomic structure of stones affecting the vibrations of the human body
(09:53:29) (Cris) In this particular one (the ruby) there is that fitness with that material expression. Hence it is as an aid, a crutch to lean upon. But, as it has always been given, let it be a stepping-stone, not that which thou standeth upon!

(09:54:03) (Cris) Born 12/6/1893
(09:55:17) (Moira) would u say that dreaming of red stones in general has the same connotaion as a ruby
(09:55:31) (Cris) Cayce called stones an aid to help people often cautioning that they were simply that a help
(09:55:46) (Cris) A red stone could also be a garnet
(09:56:01) (Cris) it would depend on the shape and color
(09:56:17) (Moira) cool ty
(09:56:42) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(09:56:53) (Cris) Q-7 What is my seal? Please give interpretation.
(09:57:13) (Roz) garnets seem to have a healing quality
(09:57:13) (Cris) A-7 The tree –as of the bay tree; with the cross and the cup on same. The cross on the trunk, the cup or chalice in the foliage. The words would be with same, Ixcel Tum Ken; the interpretation: Grow in strength, in might, as the tree; but in the Lord as thy guide.”
(09:57:33) (Cris) they do and I'll compare them after
(09:57:49) (Cris) This should be in color, to be sure, as the bay tree – and the chalice or cup red, while the cross would be green.
(09:58:14) (Moira) Im thinking red corral
(09:58:19) (Cris) Here EC is discussing this man's seal first
(09:58:26) (Cris) The stones that should be about the body would be of the ruby; the color or the cloth as should be most used would be purple and mauve – these should ever be. And wear something blue ever nest to the body.
(09:58:28) (Roz) sounds beautiful
(09:59:02) (Cris) This woman's seal it was a female he read for

(09:59:28) (Cris) The ruby detoxifies the body, blood and lymph and treats fevers, infectious disease and restricted blood flow. It is beneficial to the heart and circulatory system. It can also stimulate the kidneys, reproductive organs and spleen.
(10:00:34) (Cris) Garnets come in many different colors but those we see most often are red
(10:00:52) (Cris) Garnets help regenerate the body
(10:01:19) (Cris) It is a powerful energizing stone
(10:01:41) (Roz) I feel that when I wear them
(10:01:53) (Cris) It purifies and balances energy too
(10:02:29) (Cris) I'll send you one to tape on your knee Roz
(10:02:44) (Roz) oh thanks Cris
(10:04:10) (Cris) Garnet is useful in a crisis because it helps bring courage and strengthens the will to live
(10:04:45) (Cris) Itcan also stimulate past life recall
(10:05:26) (Cris) It's greates attribute is helping the body to regenerate after a trauma or injury
(10:06:15) (Moira) that would be a nice gift
(10:06:22) (Cris) If you feel attracted to a particular stone it usually means you need it in your life
(10:07:15) (Cris) I dig for stones Moira so I am lucky to have access to a lot of them
(10:07:28) (Moira) nice Cris
(10:08:25) (Cris) There are gem and mineral groups every place and they welcome newcomers even if you don't know anythng about them. They love t help peole in the hobby
(10:08:41) (Roz) besides Cris is a darlin woman
(10:08:45) (Cris) You would be welcome in any group
(10:09:07) (Moira) ill check it out
(10:09:28) (Cris) Our next mineral is Sardonyx
(10:10:58) (Roz) Great chat Cris
(10:11:49) (Cris) Thanks Roz
(10:12:00) (Cris) It differs, however, in that it includes layers of clear red to brownish red chalcedony (carnelian, sard), along with other layers of white, brown and sometimes black colored material. Sardonyx has a hardness of 7. The coloration is probably due mainly to small amounts of iron.
(10:13:13) (Cris) Swedenborg is reported to have seen in the sardonyx the “Love of Good and Light.”
(10:13:30) (Cris) It exhibits sard and white chalcedony in layers, but some ancient authors account as fine only those specimens which exhibit three layers at lease, a black base, a white zone and a layer of red or brown – the black symbolizing humility, the white virtue and the red fearlessness.
(10:13:38) (WalksInSpirit) Cris, is that the same as Onyx?
(10:13:54) (Cris) No the structure is a little different
(10:14:06) (Cris) In the Rosicrucian jewels the sardonyx appears as the gem of victorious ecstasy and rapture which flow from the eternal font of delight, banishing grief and woe. It was said to give self-control, conjugal happiness and good fortune. It is said that if the woman whose talismanic stone it is neglects to wear it she will never marry.
(10:14:11) (WalksInSpirit) Ok, thanks :-)
(10:14:32) (Cris) It is actually banding of the different layers in one stone
(10:14:57) (Cris) with slightly varying chemical compostions in each band
(10:15:08) (Cris) Reading Excerpt:
(10:15:26) (Cris) Well that there be carried on the person the sardonyx stone (that is in its semi-precious state), either in statuettes, pins, buttons, or a piece of same carried.
(10:15:46) (Cris) . Not as a protection but rather for the vibratory forces that influence the choices made by the mental forces of the entity itself. Statuettes, frames or the like are well.
(10:15:56) (Cris) Much of the same vibrations may be obtained from using those combinations of stone made from the soya bean which may act in much the same capacity. Figures made of same are well to have about the entity’s sleeping quarters or abode.

(10:16:40) (Cris) Sardonyx heals the lungs and bones. It also improves sensory perception and strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system. It reinforces the immune system by stimulating the flow of body fluids. It is effective in preventing bronchitis and infections of the respiratory system.
(10:17:00) (Cris) This mineral can help the wearer confront the world with open eyes so they don’t get lost in dreams and wishful thinking.
(10:17:16) (Cris) That is the last of our minerals tonight
(10:18:11) (Cris) Any questions?
(10:19:07) (Cris) If not it is open chat
(10:19:30) (Rosie) stone made from the soya bean???
(10:19:40) (merri) thanks for the info Cris
(10:19:47) (merri) very interesting
(10:19:47) (Cris) He was making a comparison
(10:20:16) (Cris) of similar properties of the soy and the sardonyx
(10:20:30) (Rosie) oh, OK :o)
(10:21:15) (Rosie) well, soy IS supposed to be good for your health
(10:21:18) (Cris) A mineral shop or a gem and mineral show is a wonderful way to see a variety of stones both cut and as specimens
(10:22:03) (Cris) Some of the exhibits put in are nicer than those you see at museums
(10:24:39) (Cris) I will have to go shortly I've been having some very early mornings of late
(10:24:41) (Rosie) Gotta go. Thanks for the great chat, Cris :o) Peace {{{{{everyone}}}}}

(09:32:22) (Cris) Welcome to Healing Stones. The introduction of this chat is based on the Edgar Cayce readings complied in the book, Gems and Stones.
(09:32:52) (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.
(09:33:23) (Cris) The first metal of the evening is Platinum
(09:33:59) (Cris) Edgar Cayce didn't have a lot to say in the readings but did cover it some
(09:34:13) (Cris) Native platinum is whitish steel gray in color and has a metallic luster. It has a hardness of 4.0 to 4.5 and is sometimes magnetic and usually occurs in grains and scales. This mineral is rare in the United States. It occurs in the gold sands of Rutherford and Burke Counties, North Carolina and in the black sands of California placers.
(09:34:55) (Cris) The references are older platinum has been discovered in several other places in the US
(09:35:37) (Cris) There were no reading excerpts except for those referenced with gold
(09:36:07) (Cris) Platinum Alleviates depression and improves memory. Provides permanence to relationships and stimulates self-approval. Enhances intuition, psychic abilities and awareness of other levels
(09:37:12) (Cris) we will wait for Roz any questions so far?

(09:39:45) (Bill) Platinum is more maliable than gold 1 oz. can be stretched thin enough to go to the moon and back
(09:40:15) (Rosie) what's it used for?
(09:40:24) (Blu) I have noticed I am hard on my gold rings, ripped a stone rightout of a set and bruised the heck out of my finger

(09:41:08) (Cris) Jewelry, medical equipment all kinds of things
(09:41:09) (WalksInSpirit) Well, actually, an album will go Gold before it goes Platinum, according to the RIAA.
(09:41:28) (Cris) Physically it stabilizes the physical body, clears the digestive tract, and stimulates the health of the eyes.

(10:15:46) (Cris) . Not as a protection but rather for the vibratory forces that influence the choices made by the mental forces of the entity itself. Statuettes, frames or the like are well.
(10:15:56) (Cris) Much of the same vibrations may be obtained from using those combinations of stone made from the soya bean which may act in much the same capacity. Figures made of same are well to have about the entity’s sleeping quarters or abode.
