<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Apache
tears are a form of black obsidian found around Superior, AZ. Apache tears are more than just a piece of
black obsidian they hold a deeper meaning.
The legend is about the Coyote, Tonto and Pinal Indians who were all
part of one Apache tribe. They lived on
top of Big Picacho, a mountain that was hidden to those around them. Here is where our story begins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> In July of
1870, the Apaches were living life as they always did until “General George
Stoneman deemed it necessary to establish an outpost” (The Legend of Apache...)
west of what is now called Superior, AZ.
Things did not start to get worst until the winter, when the tribes were
having a difficult time gathering and hunting.
The buffalo and vegetation were scarce and the Apache men did not know
how they were going to feed their families and tribes. In desperate need of food, the “Pinal Apaches
had made several raids on a settlements” (Native American...) but after these
raids the ranchers decided to do something about it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> US
Calvary Company B and the ranchers gathered and went on a search for the Apache
tribes. During the search, the men found
a hidden trail leading up Big Picacho to where the Apaches camp was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Not
knowing that their camp had been discovered, the tribes were unprepared for the
attack that was coming. After finding
the trail up to the camp, the soldiers proceed to up the mountain for a sneak
attack. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> With the
Apaches unaware of the soldiers coming up the mountain, they had no time to
prepare. Within moments, the soldiers
had killed “nearly 50 of the band of 75 Apaches were killed in the first volley
of shots” (Apache Tears) causing the rest to retreat. With nowhere to go the rest decided to
“retreated to the cliff's edge and chose death by leaping over the edge rather
than die at the hands of the white man” (Apache Tears) leaving the women to
grieve the death of their men.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> It is said that
they gathered a “short distance from the base of the cliff where the sands were
white, and for a moon they wept for their dead.
They mourned greatly, for they realized that not only had their 75 brave
Apache warriors died, but with them had died the great fighting spirit of the
Pinal Apaches” (Native American Indian
Legends). The spirits were greatly
saddened and made a stone were the tears of the Apache women and their loved
ones hit the ground called the Apache Tear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Some
believe that the Apache Tear has spiritual and healing power. For those who possess an Apache Tear they
will never cry again because the Apache women cried enough for the one who
holds the stone. If one carries an
Apache Tear in their pocket "
protection from all types of negative energies, including psychic attacks. The Apache Tear will help to remove and
transmute these energies, clearing the way for more positive vibrations. They help to ground spiritual experiences
into the physical, helping one to integrate these experiences into the everyday
life" (Apache Tears – Volcanic)
They are sometimes used to calm muscle spasms, detoxification of the
body, absorb vitamins, and can enhance the immune system (Apache Tears –
Volcanic). These beautiful stones are
more than just volcanic glass; they are a legend, a form of strong love, and a
healing stone. The question now is; how
do they get them from their raw form to a beautiful polished stone?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Apache Tears - Rough Black Obsidian Nodules - Apache Tears
are a type of Obsidian, which appear rough and opaque at first glance, but are
often translucent when held up to a light source. Apache Tears are created when hot lava is
forced directly into the air and quickly solidifies before hitting the
ground. Made from the fire energy deep
within the Earth, this mineral is wonderful at grounding energies into the
Earth before, during and after energy work.
Apache Tears help one to see into the core of an issue to assist with
deep healing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Apache Tears have an uncanny ability to lend support during
times of sorrow. They will gently help
one to accept and then release their grief, thereby releasing and removing
blockages. Apache Tears can help to
relieve stress by bringing opportunities for positive change into one's sights
so they can formulate a plan of action.
This can bring a sense of hope to a dire circumstance. Apache Tears can also enhance one's logical
thinking skills, which can open new doors for success. Many work with these stones to facilitate
spontaneity in many different areas in life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Carry an Apache Tear in your pocket as protection from all
types of negative energies, including psychic attacks. The Apache Tear will help to remove and transmute
these energies, clearing the way for more positive vibrations. They help to ground spiritual experiences
into the physical, helping one to integrate these experiences into the everyday
life. This grounding energy can also
help one to realize the importance of all frequencies, and to not limit oneself
to only the higher energies of this existence.
They can also help one to connect with nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Physically, Apache Tears are often used for the calming of
muscle spasms, detoxification of the body, and absorption of vitamins. They can also enhance the immune system and
fortify the body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Apache Tears are a type of Obsidian and carry many of the
same qualities as regular Black Obsidian.
In general, Obsidian is a very grounding and protective stone. It is
used as a great cleanser of negative energies, helping to remove not only
negativity experienced in the environment, but also that of one's own emotions,
such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, etc. Obsidian is often used for healing and
releasing energy blockages, and has a tendency to work quickly to move truths
to the surface to be resolved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for depression <o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today I would like to talk about using gemstones and crystal
to help with depression. By no means does the use of any gemstone replace any
medical advice. They are list here for your consideration to add to your
healing program. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I started the research for gemstones for depression when
a dear family member became seriously depressed in hopes of helping them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For depression and anxiety:. I suggest either wearing a
piece, touching your skin, or keeping one with you all the time as a touch
stone whenever the feelings start to hit you. Aquamarine is another good one to
use as a touch stone, especially useful if you suffer from panic attacks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The better the quality the more the gemstone will help </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The modern age has witnessed a
number of people turning to age old remedies for new diseases. One such example
is that of depression. While science battles the effect of gemstones on the
body and brushes it off as more of a mental stimulation, there are many people
who live to tell how a particular gem stone helped them fight depression. The
use of various gem stones to fight depression has been around for a while.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">It is believed that the body
gets physically and mentally prepared to act against the self destroying
forces. Prior to the onset of depression on a greater level, there is no harm
in trying out the effect of various gem stones to fight depression. This
heightened response helps to elevate the resources in the body to help it to
function normally. The healing power of gems for depression has even been
suggested by many alternative medicine practitioners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

unlike ordinary rocks and they help in treating mental agony that could be
caused by many things. The various gem stones to fight depression could be worn
as charming jewelry or within an electronic application, or even submerged in
oil, ointments or medication. There are many online and offline resources that
enable access to the various gem stones to fight depression. Gemstones have
been part and parcel of the art of healing depression since ancient times. In
the orient, the medicine men recognized the powerful force present in gem
stones and made several attempts to channel the power into treating depression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Each stone is associated with a
particular level of energy and magnetism. They are a part of recognized
alternative medicine techniques. The various gem stones to fight depression
have particular powers under specific conditions. Wearing the gem stones
anywhere on the body is believed to ward off negative forces and bad auras. The
practice has been part and parcel of a number of ancient societies throughout
the world. The various gem stones to fight depression are graded according to
the kind of powers each one is supposed to have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Though, in modern times, the
belief is that you must wear the gem stones in their pure form,. The use of
various gem stones to fight depression is not a new practice even in modern
times. Many people are known to access online resources for the supply of a
particular gem stone. They are easily available and priced according to their
carats. The various gem stones to fight depression are marketed by
professionals who know the effect of each on depression. They make their
expertise available with the sale of every gem stone. Gem stones make great
ornaments. Even if you do not believe in their power over depression, nothing
like using them to make you look good! Gems work as a feel good factor this
way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Do not forget your gemstones
will need to be cleansed and charged regularly. I like to run pure water over
mind and simply set them in the sun for a while. Some people prefer setting in moon like but I
believe for depression it is best to let
the sun bring its energy into the stone to help bright your outlook on life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On August 12, 1912, the American National Retail Jewellers
Association arbitrarily decided on a list of birthstones for each month, adding
to or changing many of the traditional stones to those more commercially
viable. In other words, a month was allocated to the stones which would make
them most money. In 1938 the American Gem Society adopted this list for use by
its members. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The idea of birthstones is however, rooted in fact. The exact time of birth, not merely
month, indicates which gems are most
beneficial for us as individuals. Over 5000 years ago the rishis, (translates
from Sanskrit as "seers"), understood the correlations and underlying
unity of all things. Through astrological science, Divine revelation and mystic
vision they established the original Vedic astrology and actual idea of
birthstones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Something for the understandably sceptical among us to
consider, is that they recorded complex calculations that precisely plotted the
orbits of the planets, long before modern telescopes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you want to experience the genuine transformational
properties of gems, the list of birthstones for each month has to be seen for
what it is - a scam. Is it really possible to enhance our health or
relationships based on the marketing strategies of the jewellery industry?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Each planet rules and resonates with their respective gems
and by strengthening well placed planets with the appropriate gem, all areas
ruled by that planet are enhanced. Talismans of this type have been used and
recorded by many ancient civilizations. Gemstones have always been considered
precious and attributed metaphysical qualities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If jewelry industry just made up a list of birthstones for
each month, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">how do we know which gems are genuinely beneficial
birthstones?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Birthstone Zodiac signs are the astrological version of the
monthly birthstones that symbolize the month of birth in the Gregorian
Calendar. The Birthstone Zodiac signs use the twelve zodiac signs instead of
the twelve calendar months. Every sign of the zodiac is ruled by one of the
planets in the Solar system and each planet rules over specific gemstones
according to their color. The following chart, or list, contain details of each
of the Zodiac Signs and the various gem stones that are the closest to vibrate
to their particular Zodiac Sign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The signs of the Zodiac are used to cast Horoscopes from
astrological calculations which are used as a guide to personality,
relationships and business affairs. The twelve Zodiac signs represent the
"houses" or divisions into which the heavens are charted by the
astrologer. The Zodiac signs represent the placement in the sky where the sun
was during the time of birth. The twelve signs of the Zodiac are Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius
and Pisces. Each sign of the Zodiac influences people who were born between
certain dates. Life predictions are upon the position of the planets in the
"twelve houses " at the moment of the birth. The signs of the Zodiac
change on, or about, the 22nd of every month. Every sign of the zodiac is ruled
by one of the planets in the Solar system and each planet rules over specific
gemstones according to their color. The energies associated with each planet
are affected by a classical element to which the sign belongs to either fire,
earth, air, or water. The gemstones assigned to each of the Zodiac signs are
believed to influence both positive and negative personality traits and
characteristics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">A Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that
is composed of a fossilized coral.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets
of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and
depositing them in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the northwestern portion of
Michigan's lower peninsula. In some areas of Michigan, complete fossilized
coral colony heads can be found.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Petoskey stones are found in the Gravel Point Formation of the
Traverse Group. They are fragments of a coral reef that was originally
deposited during the Devonian period, about 350 million years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">When dry, the stone resembles ordinary limestone but when wet or
polished using lapidary techniques, the distinctive mottled pattern of the
six-sided coral fossils emerges. Other forms of fossilized coral are also found
in the same location.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In 1965, it was named the state stone of Michigan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The name comes from an Ottawa Indian Chief, Chief
Pet-O-Sega. The city of Petoskey, Michigan, is also named after him, and is the
center of the area where the stones are found. The stones are commonly found on
beaches and in sand dunes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to legend, Petosegay was the child of a descendant
of French nobleman and fur trader, Antoine Carre and an Ottawa princess.
Petosegay, meaning "rising sun", "rays of dawn" or
"sunbeams of promise", was named after the rays of sun that fell upon
his newborn face. In keeping with his promising name, Petosegay was a wealthy
fur trader who gained much land and acclaim for himself and his tribe. He was
remarked upon to have a striking and appealing appearance, and spoke English
very well. He married another Ottawa, and together they had two daughters and
eight sons. In the summer of 1873, a few years before the chief's passing, a
city began on his land along Little Traverse Bay. The settlers christened the
newborn city Petoskey, an anglicized form of Petosegay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

trade name given to (usually) colourless topaz that has had a very thin layer
of titanium metal coated to the pavilion of the cut stone. The very thin layer
of metal causes interference patterns with light entering the stone, forming a
rainbow of iridescent colours, similar to the colour range you see with oil on
water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

combining science and mother nature to produce some of the breathtaking and

is used on genuine natural topaz gemstones to which titanium, (one of the
strongest metals in the world), are bonded together at the very molecular level
and become one on the surface of the topaz gem stones after the bonding process
occurs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Preparing Your Crystal For Healing <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To prepare your crystal for healing, first clean the crystal
physically of any mud, oils, sand or other debris. Then using a cleansing technique,
be sure any negative energies are removed from the crystal so that you do not
transfer residual energies onto yourself or your client. For maximum healing effects, charging
crystals will ensure the crystal is ready electromagnetically and is saturated
with ultraviolet light which energizes each crystal. To "wake-up"
your crystal, you may need to activate it into its role and mission.. And
finally, program your crystal to direct the energy for a specific outcome or
for support during a healing session.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cleaning Crystals <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you purchased a crystal with mud on it, chances are it
still has part of the growth matrix on it. The matrix is the part of the earth
that the crystal grows in, full of mineral nutrients. Try using a dry brush
first, to remove what you can but be careful as the crystal may be softer than
the matrix it grows in. Then use a warm water bath and a stiff scrub brush for
coarse crystals or a flexible medium-soft toothbrush for more brittle crystals.
I sometimes use a high foaming dishwashing detergent with a scrub brush, using
the lather to lift off small pieces of grit and sand from tight corners. The
matrix on quartz crystals is usually yellow, somewhat cakey-hard like mud and
can be removed in a 2-5 day bath of oxalic acid if brushing and water doesn't
take it off. I suggest that you look at the following link to Sweet Surrender
Mines in Arkansas which details the process better than I could write here for
you.. A chemist/phamacist may be able to get the oxalic acid for you or try contacting one of the many
mines on the web. Use 1 part oxalic acid to 2 parts water. As for
"normal" mud, I suggest that you use a warm water bath and/or a high
pressure hose stream at the mud. You can pick at the mud with a firm wooden
stick. If you use a steel tool, you will probably scratch or break the crystal
as steel is harder than the crystal. Let your crystal dry in the sun and catch
those rays !<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cleansing Crystals <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you have cleaned the crystal physically, the next step
is to cleanse the crystal of unwanted vibrations and energies that come from
other people handling the crystals during its mining, packing, transportation,
unpacking and display before it has actually reached you. Crystals tend to take
on energy indicriminately and like wearing someone else's clothing, you can
feel what's not the right energy for
you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have read and heard a lot from people advised to do
everything from burying their crystals in salt for several weeks to performing
elaborate cleansing ceremonies. Do what you feel comfortable with and what
makes sense to you. Experiment and see what works for you. From my own
extensive experience, I recommend using a salt water bath for crystals that are
able to take salt. Salt is really good for removing negative energies from most
crystals. However, some crystals like Angelite and some marbles and pearls are
sensitive to salt and their surfaces can be damaged very quickly in a salt
bath. For those, you can use a smudge (see below.).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You don't really need to soak your crystals very long in
salt water. A minimum of 7 hours is usually all that is needed unless you have
crystals that are extremely toxic for some reason. When I do some really,
really heavy clearing with clients (exorcism level), I will soak the crystals
is heavily saturated salt water for 3-4 days or longer. However, in normal
daily wearing of crystals, a light short 7 hour bath every 2 weeks or so is
fine. Get a plastic bowl large enough to hold your crystal(s). Glass is fine
but it is a hard surface and you could chip your crystals easily if not
careful. Fill the bowl with water to cover the crystals by about 1 inch. Room
temerature water is fine and it would be best to have spring water whch is
"alive" with nutrients that crystals like. For more refined energies,
use distilled water. It doesn't matter to the crystal unless you go back and
forth between extremes of very hot and very cold (even Pyrex has a maxium
tolerance). Then, for each crystal, add 1 tablespoon of salt as a rough
guideline. The "perfect" cleansing solution is a 30% solution of sea
salt and spring water. If you have genuine sea water, use that ! As a
intuitive, I usually just throw a handful of salt over the crystals and just
leave the bucket in the sun to soak.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Try using a pendulum to help you determine when the crystals
are ready to come out of the bath. This method works well for me, although I
usually walk past the cleansing crystals and intuitively know when they are
"done". When you pour off the salt water, do not touch the water or
you will be transferring the negative energies back onto yourself. remember to
thoroughly rinse off any salt resideue from your crystals. I let the crystals
drip on to newpapers or tea towels.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some people ask if there is a difference between using sea
salt and table salt (rock salt). There is. Most people are not very sensitive
to subtle energies. In my experience, I find that sea salt leaves the crystals
with a different feeling than table salt. Sea salt has a more refined energy
signature with a lot of small rainbow-coloured vibrations. Table salt is like a
workhorse, less subtle, more coarse and has clunky yellow and grey-blue
vibrations. If I plan to use a crystal at my upper chakras (3rd Eye or Crown),
I will want it cleansed in sea salt, as these centres are very refined on my
body and I prefer the more subtle vibration. Wouldn't you ? Try soaking two
crystals - one in sea salt and onbe in table salt. Rinse thoroughly and then
see if you can tell the difference energetically.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I've also smudged crystals with sage, sweetgrass or incense
such as frankincense to cleanse them. This is especially good for crystals that
cannot be soaked in salt water. I usually spend about 3-7 minutes doing a
smudge, fanning the incense over the crystals with a feather fan. This is particularly
good of you have a whole cabinet full of crystals or some that are very large
and awkward to bathe. Try not to use your hand as a fan - as the smoke rises,
it pulls out and takes the negative energies away from the crystal. Passing your hand in this
smoke will track these negative energies onto yourself. Don't forget to give
yourself a good smudge to clear your own negative energies, especially your
hands which are handling crystals directly.You can also rinse your hands in
salt water after using the crystals either on yourself or someone else.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Charging Crystals <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunlight re-charges crystals with ultrviolet light,
sometimes called light radiation. You see, when the crystal comes from the
Earth, it is has been nutured in yin energy, the feminine. The crystal has been
taking nutrients from the ground - gases, water, various minerals and other
nutrients to develop into a crystal. When it is "harvested" from the
Earth, it is being removed from the yin energies and needs now to receive yang
energies as its source of energy renewal. So, the ultrviolet light from the
sun, the full spectrum of light, restores the crystals depleted energies. The
time it takes depends on the crystal's capacity to absorb the light (it's
crystalline energy structure has a lot to do with it), the stage of energy
depletion within the crystal, and I think the will of the person who has been
handling the crystal. Typically, I find 4 hours in the sun once a week keeps a
small crystal energetic and alert. However, some crystals require a much longer
time to recharge. You can experiment with the crystal by putting it in the sun
for 1 week then holding it in your hand. You may receive and energy discharge
from the crystal ! Also use your pendulum to check if it is ready and also to
find out the percentage of replenishment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are another six methods of re-charging crystals that I
teach in my crystal healing classes. Programming a crystal will also take up
some of the energy of a crystal and that you may need to recharge more often <o:p></o:p></div>

depending
on the usage of the crystal. Also crystals vary a lot between each other in
terms of ability to store energy. Size has something to do with it, but also
the energy structure of each crystal will be different.in its ability to hold
an energy charge.<br />

Activating Your Crystal <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some readers will not be familiar with how to activate a
crystal. Sometimes, a crystal can be a "sleeper", and needs to know
it is going to be used for healing or meditative purposes. Making a spiritual
connection with the crystal helps to activate it, to awaken its consciousness.
You can activate your crystal through an initiation ritual, by holding it,
rolling it quickly back and forth in your hands, sleeping with it, gazing at
it, washing it and generally handling it. To awaken its consciousness through ritual,
offer some sage, sweetgrass or tabacco and indicate your intent for use of the
crystal (e.g. for healing). This event marks the initiation of the crystal and
makes an energy connection with the person using the crystal. Remember to fully
recharge your crystal after you've been handling it for activation purposes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Programming Crystals <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why do we want to program our crystals ? There is a folklore
that crystals carry programming (a set of instructions) put there by other
people or other beings before we acquire the crystals and that sometimes we do
not want that. Well, I have the view that first, crystals come on the planet
already with a set of instructions on how to grown, what structure, where, how
fast and with what energy characteristics - just like humans who have a set of
genetic instructions. This inherent pattern cannot be changed. It is up to your own belief system whether
there were extra-terrestials or others who have loaded instructions into
crystals or not. Let's move on then.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second, each crystal has its own mission, or its own
programming for healing. Sometimes, it is to provide a grounding force on the
planet, maybe working energetically with other crystals in the earth to provide
a network of stabile energy across the planet as part of the physical matrix of
the planet. Sometimes, the crystal will carry a specific energy signature by
resonating tones, colours and other vibrations that are provided through
compassionate forces for humans and other life forms on Earth. Crystal people sometimes
say that a crystal resonates for a particular chakra, or has a mission to "clear a past life" for
instance. We don't want to harm that type of programming either.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Third, there is a blank database in each crystal. This is a
spiritual (ie, not physical) energy centre which has the ability to store new
instruction. Just like humans who have infinate capacity for spirituality, the
crystal can translate and absorb an energy signature from outside itself and
store it into a crystalline energy structure within itself. Now this is the
real esoteric work of a crystal ! The mundane science of a crystal explains
some of how these energy instructions are stored, but now we've left that far
behind now and are going into an area of deep inner science! This database sometimes gets filled up with
unconscious instructions from people handling the crystal, unaware they are
projecting energy thought forms that are picked up and stored by the crystal.
So, we will want to be sure that the database is empty of any unknown
programming first. When we add our set
of instructions. The crystal will then resonate with those instructions,
amplifying, broadcasting, and projecting the new set of energy patterns to
ourselves or others as directed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some different programming techniques used with
crystals. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) A simple method is
writing a thought on a piece of paper then placing a crystal on top to
absorb the thought energy. The crystal magnifies the thought and acts as the
transmitter, sending the thought in its amplified state to the target person or
thing mentioned in the note. You can also use one of the other methods below
and place the crystal on a person's photograh to send them an amplified
thought. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) You can also program your crystal by holding it in your
hand then breathing in through your nose, hold the thought in your mind of what
you want, then forcefully breath out (snort !) into the crystal through your
nose. Do this on each side of the crystal to program it. There are 6 sides to a
clear quartz crystal. This is a powerful programming technique that I teach in
my classes and hope you will benefit from it. You can also read about this
technique at the Vogel-Cut Crystal site. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) Another method is to create a circular breath by holding
the thought of what you desire in your mind and then breath slowly and
naturally through your nose into the crystal and then breath energy back in
from the crystal. Repeat this circular breath for 10 - 20 minutes. This is an
effective meditative techniqueand is quite powerful to direct your mind for
positive results.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can put as many thoughts, affirmations or items such as
holographic images into your crystal. Whenever you want to clear them out, just
forcefully breathe the word "CLEAR!" into the crystal 6 times (one
for each side of the crystal) and this will be done. By the way, if you are
holoding a crystal and are thinking bad thoughts, don't. Put the crystal down
and clear your mind. Revisit yout intent and then you can proceed to use the
crystal, unless you need to cleanse the crystal of any negativity its picked up
or to clear it of any unintentional programming. Crystals are indiscriminate
about energy, but Spirit isn't - so please use them for positive purposes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I program my crystals for protection, to enhance my dream states,
to store affirmations ("I am healthy, wealthy and wise!") among other
usages. I have lots of suggestions for using programmed crystals and teach
these methods in my classes. Please see my web site at www.crystaltiger.com for
more articles about crystals.<o:p></o:p></div>

for your gem stones<o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;">In order to keep gems looking as vibrant and valuable as on
the first day of purchase, it is important to keep in mind a few basic rules
and follow some specific cleaning techniques:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;">Since gems vary in durability, storing them next to each
other may cause scratching and dullness to the stone. Keeping jewelry in
separate spaces or in separate bags of paper, silk, or velvet is an easy task
that will ensure preserving lustrous and damage-free gems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;">The temperature where gems are kept should be constant.
Gemstones can crack from dramatic shifts in temperature. Also many colored
gemstones may fade or discolor while in the sunlight, so make sure to keep
certain jewelry away from the sun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;">Check for loose gemstones before wearing your jewelry and
always remove it when engaging in strenuous activities. Restring pearl or bead
necklaces at least every two years (or every year if you wear them frequently).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;">Do not wear your jewelry if there is a risk of exposure to
chemicals. For example, do not wear your jewelry during housecleaning or during
activities such as swimming or showering. Chlorine will damage the gemstones
and soap will leave the jewelry looking dull. In addition, the chemicals in cosmetics,
hairspray, and/or perfume can damage gems, so make sure to wear necklaces or
pendants only after such tasks</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gemstones are durable substances; still, they do need some
care. Follow a few general rules and they'll last for generations still looking
brand new.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Keep your jewelry clean! Rings in particular tend to collect
dirt behind the stone, especially if you wear them on a regular basis. You can
clean transparent gemstones by simply soaking them in water with a touch of
soap. Use a soft toothbrush to scrub the stone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Even the hardest gemstone variety can be vulnerable to
breakage if it has inclusions that weaken the crystal structure. Exercise
common sense: if you have a ring set with a softer gem variety or an included
stone, take it off before strenuous activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Even the hardest gemstones like Diamonds, Rubies and
Sapphires can shatter with a single well-placed blow especially if they have
inclusions, which weaken the crystal structure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Think twice before putting gems in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Diamonds, rubies and sapphires will be fine but many other gems may not be:
when in doubt, leave it out. Diamonds, rubies and sapphires, and other
single-crystal gems can be cleaned with a touch of ammonia in water to remove
all films and add extra sparkle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-highlight: yellow;">Never use an
ultrasonic cleaner or ammonia for cleaning such opaque gemstones like lapis, turquoise,
malachite or onyx</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. They should be wiped clean gently with a moist
cloth. These gemstones can be porous and may absorb chemicals, even soap, which
may build up inside the stone and discolor it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The reason why these materials need more care than transparent
gemstones is that these materials are essentially rocks, not crystals of a
single mineral. Think about it: when you put a rock in water, it absorbs the
water and is moist all the way through. A single crystal gem like sapphire will
not absorb water: all the molecules are lined up so tightly in the crystal that
there is no room for water to enter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-highlight: yellow;">Opals also require
special care.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Never use an ultrasonic cleaner or ammonia, and avoid heat
and strong light which can dry out the water in opals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Organic gems like pearls, coral, and amber should only be
wiped clean with a moist cloth. Due to their organic nature, these gems are
both soft and porous. Be careful about chemicals in hairspray, cosmetics, or
perfume: they can, over time, damage pearls in particular.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Store each piece of gemstone jewelry separately so that
harder stones don't scratch softer ones. Almost every gemstone is much harder
than the metal it is set in. Gems can scratch the finish on your gold, silver
or platinum if you throw your jewelry in a heap in a drawer or jewelry box.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the less well known gemstones first discovered in the
USA is Danburite, a calcium boric silicate first discovered in 1839 in Danbury,
Connecticut. The city of Danbury is better known as the birthplace of Charles
Ives (1874-1954), arguably the greatest American musical composer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Danburite was discovered by Charles Upham Shephard
(1804-1866), an eminent American mineralogist who was for many years professor
of natural history at Amherst College. Shepard began his career as assistant to
Benjamin Silliman at Yale University.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Danburite is usually colorless to very light pink in color,
but some deposits may produce specimens in shades of light yellow or brown.
Danburite is known for its excellent transparency and clarity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By chemical composition, danburite is a calcium aluminum
borate silicate. It is quite hard, with a rating of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
Since it has a reasonably high refractive index (6.30 to 6.36), in the same
range as tourmaline, the material can be faceted with good results. Danburite
has very little cleavage, so it is easy for lapidaries to cut. Danburite's
density is 2.97 to 3.03, about the same as jadeite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Though danburite was first discovered in Danbury,
Connecticut, the original deposit is buried under the city. Other deposits have
been found in Burma, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico and Russia. Much of the
danburite in today's market comes from Mexico.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Market interest in danburite derives from the fact that
there are relatively few hard clear gems available at an affordable price.
Since danburite can be found in larger sizes -- often up to 10 carats -- it
completes mainly with rock crystal (quartz), white topaz and white zircon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Danburite facilitates deep change and the ability to leave
the past behind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Danburite is a very spiritual stone that carries a pure
vibration. It is excellent for relief of stress and worry. Hold a danburite in
each hand for a calming effect and to prepare for deep meditation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The name Nuummite
which means "derived from Nuuk" in Greenlandic, was given to the rock
type which was found near Nuuk, by the town council of Nuuk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nuumite is purported to be one of the oldest minerals in
existence, about three billion years old, and originates exclusively from
Greenland. Its energy can remain extremely quiet until needed, when it suddenly
comes to life. It encourages physical presence in the body, as opposed to
grounding, and also confers protection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nuumite inhabits several dimensions simultaneously, and
works on many levels. While maintaining presence, it clears and opens the
Throat, Third Eye and Crown Chakras, facilitating higher communication,
especially with our spirit guides, and assists multidimensional travel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nuumite also encourages self-examination and
self-exploration. In addition to the higher work nuumite engenders, it has a
powerful physical effect, entering the body with tendrils of energy, similar to
static electricity, which then target and “mop up” anything that does not
belong, so while it does not necessarily shield against electromagnetic stress,
it can help clear up the results of exposure to it. This can work in a similar
way with cancer cells and the effects of cancer treatments, as well as
pathogens and inappropriate signals from the immune system, for example
autoantibodies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Naisha Ahsian believes it helps us to connect with our
shadow side, while Melody suggests that it activates and integrates the
chakras, and enhances memory and mental activity. Description: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nuumite is found in an area slightly north of Nuuk,
Greenland - accessible only by boat. The area where Nuumite occurs is in the
so-called 'Isuakasia' iron ore region, the origin of which dates back almost
four billion years. Nuumite has been used rather widely for untold centuries as
beads and ornamental stones. The locality is high in the mountains and requires
lugging heavy mining equipment up to retrieve the best specimens. These areas
produce some of the oldest stones found on earth, and Nuumite falls in this
category. Geologically speaking, nuumite is of volcanic origin and was formed
about 3 billion years ago. Subsequent </span></div>

influences on the rock (metamorphism)
have given rise to the striking mixture of crystals which gives Nuumite its
unique appearance. Rocks resembling nuumite are also found in a few minor
occurrences in the USA, but it is only in the Greenland type that coloration is
developed well enough for the stone to be suitable for gemstones. <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At first glance, Nuumite appears similar to labradorite but
upon closer examination the beauty of nuumite and its schiller effect is
astonishing. Labradorite usually shows broad splotches of “flash” while the
smaller mixture of elongated crystals in nuumite (often in sheaf-like groups)
create a striking gemstone. In the transition between the individual crystals
(and especially the thin ones), an optical effect is created causing a special
“inner” golden brown glow. This effect is also called iridescence, and is
especially distinct on polished surfaces. The result is that the crystals
appear as bright lamellae, almost like flames in a fire. The colours vary
somewhat between reddish, greenish, and bluish hues, sometimes even within the
same lamella. Between the bright lamellae, the colour is dark brown to black.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ammolite is a rare gemstone of organic origin that is fairly
new to the market, with commercial mining beginning only in 1981. Ammolite is
the fossilized shell of ammonites, which are composed primarily of aragonite,
the same mineral that makes up nacreous pearls. Ammolite's main attraction is
an opal-like play of color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The chemical composition of ammolite is variable, and aside
from aragonite may include calcite, silica, pyrite, or other minerals. The
shell itself may contain a number of trace elements, including: aluminium;
barium; chromium; copper; iron; magnesium; manganese; strontium; titanium; and
vanadium. Its crystallography is orthorhombic. Its hardness is 4.5–5.5, quite
soft for a gemstone, and its specific gravity is 2.60–2.85. The refractive
index of Canadian material (as measured via sodium light, 589.3 nm) is as follows:
α 1.522; β 1.672–1.673; γ 1.676–1.679; biaxial negative. Under ultraviolet
light, ammolite may fluoresce a </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">An iridescent opal-like play of color is shown in fine
specimens, mostly in shades of green and red; all the spectral colors are possible,
however. The iridescence is due to the microstructure of the aragonite: unlike
most other gems, whose colors come from light absorption, the iridescent color
of ammolite comes from interference with the light that rebounds from stacked
layers of thin platelets that make up the aragonite. The thicker the layers,
the more reds and greens are produced; the thinner the layers, the more blues
and violets predominate. Reds and greens are the most commonly seen colors,
owing to the greater fragility of the finer layers responsible for the blues.
When freshly quarried, these colors are not especially dramatic; the material
requires polishing and possibly other treatments in order to reveal the colors'
full potential.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The ammolite itself is actually a very thin sheet, ca.
0.5–0.8 millimeters (0.02–0.03 inches) in thickness. Rarely is ammolite without
its matrix, which is typically a grey to brown shale, chalky clay, or
limestone. So-called "frost shattering" is common; exposed to the
elements and compressed by sediments, the thin ammolite tends to crack and
flake; prolonged exposure to sunlight can also lead to bleaching. The cracking
results in a tessellated appearance, sometimes described as a "dragon
skin" or "stained glass window" pattern. Ammolite mined from
deeper deposits may be entirely smooth or with a rippled surface. Occasionally
a complete ammonite shell is recovered with its structure well-preserved: fine,
convoluted lines delineate the shell chambers, and the overall shape is
suggestive of a nautilus. While these shells may be as large as 90 centimeters
(35.5 inches) in diameter, the iridescent ammonites (as opposed to the
pyritized variety) are typically much smaller. Most fossilized shells have had
their aragonite pseudomorphously replaced by calcite or pyrite, making the
presence of ammolite particularly uncommon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

grade system, from most desirable to least desirable: AA; A+; A; and A-.
However, this system is not yet standardized and some vendors may use their own
systems. The grade and therefore the value of an ammolite gemstone is
determined by the following criteria:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A large array of color is displayed in ammolite, including all
the spectral colors found in nature. Red and green are far more common than
blue or purple due to the latter's fragility (see properties). There are also
certain hues, like crimson or violet or gold, which are derived from a
combination of the primary colors, that are the rarest and in highest demand.
The most valuable grades have roughly equal portions of three or more primary
colors or 1–2 bright and even colors, with the lowest grades having one
comparatively dull color predominant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The way the colors play (chromatic shift and rotational

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Chromatic shift is how the colors vary with the angle of
viewing and the angle of light striking the gemstone; in higher grades this
variation is almost prismatic in its scope, while lower grades show very little
variation. Rotational range is how far the specimen can be turned while
maintaining its play of color; the best rotate 360 degrees uncompromised, while
lesser stones may exhibit highly directional colors that are only visible
within a narrow rotational range, down to 90° or less. Intermediate grades have
ranges of 240–180°.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The brightness of colors and their iridescence is
essentially dependent on how well-preserved the nacreous shell is, and how fine
and orderly the layers of aragonite are. The quality of the polish is also a
factor. The "dragon skin" cracking usually hinders its value; the
most prized ammolite is the sheet type (see formation) and has broad,
uninterrupted swathes of color similar to the "broad flash" category
of opal. The matrix is not visible in finer grades, and there should be no
foreign minerals breaking up or diminishing the iridescence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The thickness of the ammolite layer is also an important
factor: after polishing, the ammolite is only 0.1–0.3 millimeters thick. The
rarest and most valuable are thick enough to stand alone, with only a thin
portion of its original matrix (not exceeding 1.5 mm); but the vast majority
require some sort of supportive backing. Other treatments are also commonly undertaken;
all other factors being equal, the less treatment an ammolite gem has received,
the more valuable it is. Calibrated stones—that is, stones fashioned into
standard dimensions that will fit most jewelry settings—may also command a
higher price.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Although fully mineralized and containing no water—and
therefore not subject to dehydration and subsequent crazing as seen in
opal—ammolite is often damaged due to environmental exposure. The thin,
delicate sheets in which ammolite occurs are also problematic; for these
reasons, most material is impregnated with a clear epoxy or other synthetic
resin to stabilize the flake-prone ammolite prior to cutting. Although the
tessellated cracking cannot be repaired, the epoxy prevents further flaking and
helps protect the relatively soft surface from scratching. The impregnation
process was developed over a number of years by Korite International in
partnership with the Alberta Research Council. Impregnated and epoxy-coated
ammolite first entered the market in 1989 and the treatment significantly
increased the availability and durability of the gem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Because the ammolite layer is usually mere fractions of a
millimeter in thickness, most ammolite gems are in fact composite stones: these
usually take the form of two-part </span></div>

doublets, with the ammolite layer adhered to
a dark backing material. This is usually the matrix or mother rock from which
the ammolite was quarried; black onyx or glass could also be used as backing.
In composites where the ammolite layer is exceptionally thin, a third component
is used: this constitutes a triplet, with a durable and transparent convex
topping piece. This cap may be either synthetic spinel, synthetic corundum,
synthetic quartz, or in lower-end productions, glass. The convex cap acts as a
lens and has the effect of enhancing the ammolite's iridescent display.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The detection of these treated and composite stones is
relatively simple via inspection with a loupe; however, certain jewelry setting
styles—such as those with closed backs—can complicate things. A triplet can be
identified by inspecting the stone in profile; the top of the stone can then be
seen to be domed and transparent, with no play of color. If the dome is made of
glass, bubbles, swirl marks, and scratches may be present; the harder synthetic
materials are optically flawless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Although the vast majority of commercial-grade ammolite has
been treated in some way, a small fraction of production requires no treatment
other than cutting and polishing. Ideally, any treatments should be disclosed
at the time of sale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

include: labradorite (also known as spectrolite), an iridescent feldspar also
of Canadian origin; and broad-flash black opal. Neither are convincing
substitutes, and the latter is actually of greater value than ammolite. Indeed,
ammolite is often used as an imitation of black opal. An even less convincing

marbles. This group includes lumachella or "fire marble", a similarly
iridescent marble composed of fossilized clam and snail shells. Found in Italy
and Austria, lumachella is rarely if ever used in jewelry; rather, it is used
as a decorative facing stone or in mosaics. The iridescence of lumachella is
fragmentary and not nearly as brilliant as that of ammolite. Despite these
differences, lumachella may be considered synonymous with ammolite in some
circles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The predominantly blue-green iridescent shell of abalone (or
paua; genus Haliotis) is one last possible imitation. Abalone shell is
inexpensive and plentiful owing to the commercial mariculture of these
gastropods for their meat. The shell's structure is distinctive: sinuous bands
of blue, green, and rose iridescence are delineated by dark brown lines of
conchiolin, a proteinaceous material that holds the shell together. The luster
of abalone shell is silky rather than the near vitreous luster of polished
ammolite, and the colors of the two materials do not closely approximate.
However, some abalone shell has been dyed and given a transparent cap of
synthetic quartz, forming a doublet in the same fashion as ammolite. These
doublets are perhaps the most deceptive, and have also been used to imitate
opal. Under magnification most abalone doublets will show dye concentrated
along certain areas and air bubbles trapped at the shell-quartz interface.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Blackfeet tribe know ammolite as iniskim, meaning "buffalo stone",
and have long believed it to possess amuletic powers; specifically, the gem is

the power to enhance well-being and detoxify the body by improving its flow of
energy or "chi".[citation needed] Named the "Seven Color
Prosperity Stone", each color is believed by Feng Shui practitioners to
influence the wearer in different and positive ways; a combination of ruby red,

primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America. It
is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed
primarily of aragonite, the same mineral that makes up nacreous pearls. It is
one of several biogenic gemstones; others include amber and pearl.1 In 1981, ammolite
was given official gemstone status by the World Jewellery Confederation, the

specimens, mostly in shades of green and red, though all the spectral colors
are possible. The iridescence is due to the microstructure of the aragonite:
unlike most other gems, whose colors come from light absorption, the iridescent
color of ammolite comes from interference with the light that rebounds from
stacked layers of thin platelets that make up the aragonite. The thicker the
layers, the more reds and greens are produced; the thinner the layers, the more
blues and violets predominate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

group of shelled cephalopods that lived ~400 to ~65 million years ago. The name
may specifically refer to one branch of them, the Ammonitida, that lived ~200
to ~65 million years ago. Their living relatives include the octopus, squid,

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ammonites lived in an external chambered shell, usually in
the shape of a coiled spiral. Depending on the species, it could also be
straight, partially bent, or corkscrewed. Their body was in the last and
largest chamber. As they grew they added progressively bigger compartments to
the mouth of their shell, walling off the old ones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This chambered shell is called a phragmacone
(“frah-muh-cone”), from the Greek phragmo, “fence, enclosure, partition”, +
konos, “cone”. A thin organ called a siphuncle (“sigh-fung-kuhl”) connected
each segment to the body chamber like a strand of beads. The word comes from
the Latin sīphunculus, meaning “a little siphon”. They used this tube to maintain
their buoyancy, regulating the mixture of water and gas in each compartment
through their blood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

aptychus (“ap-tea-cus”) or a symmetrically mirrored pair of them. The word
comes from the Greek aptychon, “a folding panel with two parts”. There is
debate among scientists if they were part of their jaw, a protective cover like
the hood of a nautilus, or both. While ammonite shells were grown from
aragonite, the aptychus was made from calcite. Although they are chemically
related, calcite is more durable so many were preserved on their own, washed
away from their shells. They were misidentified historically as a species of
clam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Spiral: Both ammonite and nautilus shells are commonly used
to illustrate the golden spiral, a growth pattern based on the Fibonnaci
sequence with a ratio of 1.618. Unfortunately research suggests this is only
rarely true. The nautilus is a logarithmic spiral but its average ratio is
1.33. Because these numbers are close, the inner chambers resemble the golden
spiral but the outer ones deviate from it. While an individual shell may be a
golden spiral, it is not true for all of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ammonites are associated with change, resiliency, and
overcoming obstacles. Like the labyrinth, the spiral represents the journey of
life, death and rebirth, and repeated cycles like the seasons and movement of
celestial bodies. The spiral shell of the ammonite literally represents their
life, created as they added chambers to the open end of their shell. Cross
sections of an ammonite are popular wedding gifts because they represent a
journey and two parts coming together to make a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

like a ram, snake, dragon, or buffalo. Rarely does one fossil have so many
animal relationships. Ammonites can be used to connect spiritually to any of
these medicines or animal totems in general.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">6. Abundance: Ammonites represent abundance in several
cultures. The Zeus and horn connection even suggests the cornucopia (Latin,
“horn of plenty”). One variety of ammonites is named after it. When he was an
infant, Zeus was hidden in a cave from his tyrannical father Cronus. A goat
named Amalthea nursed him. When he accidentally broke off one of her horns, it
became a symbol of divine generosity, overflowing with food and drink.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">7. Aligning the Chakras: Energy follows the structure of a
material, producing a similar effect within us. An ammonite shell is a series
of chambers, connected together by the siphuncle tube, which regulated the
balance of water and gas in each section. The chakra system is very similar. In
the original Hindu and Buddhist models, spiritual energy flows through the
subtle body along channels called nadi (Sanskrit, “flow, river, conduit”). The
body has three main nadi, one in the spinal column and two that wrap around it.
The chakras occur where they intersect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Because of this structural similarity, ammonite and nautilus
fossils are used to adjust the flow </span></div>

of energy in the nadi, aligning the
chakras. In most nautilus species the siphuncle tube is centrally located. In
most ammonite species, it is found along the bottom of the chambers instead.
This suggests that a nautilus is better suited for the central nadi and an
ammonite the side channels, although either can be used. They can even be
combined to balance the entire system. However the snake symbolism of ammonites
associates them with kundalini, which is produced in the central channel by
joining together the energies of the side ones.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">8. Balancing the Chakras: In many spiritual traditions
clockwise motion is used to open and counter clockwise is used to close.
Clockwise vs. counterclockwise is always a matter of perspective. On one side
of an ammonite, moving from the mouth to the center of the shell is clockwise,
on the other side, counterclockwise. From the center to the mouth instead is
reversed. A chakra that is too open or too closed is out of balance. Running
energy through an ammonite in a specific direction can help regulate a chakra:
out or clockwise to help open, in or counterclockwise to help close.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">9. Healing Properties: Ammonites were used historically for
fertility, pregnancy, and birth in both people and animals. Fossils in general
are related to Saturn, astrologically oriented healers recommend them for parts
of the body ruled by it like the legs, bones, joints, teeth, skin, and hair.
Because they come from the ocean, ammonites are also linked to the Moon, which
rules the breasts, stomach, digestive system, and womb.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Healers who use the modern chakra system instead associate
fossils with the Root Chakra. Because most ammonites are brown, reddish orange,
to golden yellow in color, they connect to the Root (brown and red), Second
(orange), Third (yellow), and Crown (gold) Chakras. They support parts of the
body below the heart and the top of the head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">From Simone Matthews of UniversalLifeTools.com In nature,
the Ammolite shell forms a spiral referred to as the ‘golden mean spiral’ which
is a mathematical representation of the fibonacci sequence of numbers. This
mathematical sequence is the foundation upon which nature continually expands
and evolves. In the human body, our DNA twists, our chakras energetically turn
and the proportion of our body parts in relationship to each other are all made
manifest according to this magical number sequence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Plants grow, flowers bloom and our spiral galaxy turns in
relationship to the spiral. This sacred spiral is so deeply engrained in our
world that it forms the basis of architecture, music, economics and the
aesthetics of art. Thus Ammolite, as a direct conduit of the energetics of
golden mean spiral, is a sacred gemstone which we can work with for our own
personal awakening and for the evolutionary consciousness of the planet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in consciousness that is happening around the world as we come to the end of
many cycles of creation. On the 21 December 2012, on the Summer/Winter solstice
at 11:11 UT (Universal Time), we come to the end of a 225 million year galactic
cycle (the time it takes for our solar system to make one complete revolution
around the core of our Milky Way Galaxy), we come to the end of a 26,000 year
cycle (the movement of our Solar System through every house of the zodiac) and
we come to the end of a 5,125 year cycle of the Mayan longcount calendar. This

potential to grow as a human species in LOVE, consciously Living the One
Vibrational Energy that gives rise to all of creation. As we grow in LOVE we
honour our diversity, and come together in unity and enduring peace.
Traditionally, Ammolite is placed over the Light Activation Point (the energy
centre just above the third-eye) or worn as a pendant over the higher-heart, to
support its greatest potential of weaving the threads of awakened wisdom
through every level of being. Within our holographic universe each of us are
fractals of the whole, thus as we individually embrace our highest potential,
we are the highest frequencies of light, love and illumination for all of
creation to do the same. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">From Judy Hall: A powerful earth healing stone, Ammolite
contains the wisdom of the ancients and was worn on the forehead for
consciousness activation, metaphysical powers and interdimensional exploration.
It is particularly effective when placed on the soma chakra. Representing
coming full circle, Ammolite takes you into your centre and into completion.
Activating your own personal empowerment, it converts negative energy into a
gently flowing positive spiral. Ammolite relieves birth trauma affecting the
cranio-sacral flow and is helpful in all cranio-sacral work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Ammolite is also used
mystically for general good health, stamina and high energy. Feng Shui

overall well being by improving the body’s flow if energy. Feng Shui supporters
also believe that each different color of Ammolite influences the wearer
differently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The meaning of the name Andradite comes from the name of a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the rarest of all the garnet varieties is andradite,
the calcium iron garnet. It has the highest refractive index of all the garnets
(1.89-1.94). The most famous of the andradite garnets is the very rare
demantoid, whose name means "diamond-like luster." In fact demantoid
is among the rarest and most expensive of all colored gemstones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Melanite Crystals<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Andradite was named after the Portuguese mineralogist José
Bonifácio de Andrade e Silva (1763-1838). He discovered and described four
minerals during his life, including spodumene and petalite. A geology professor
in Portugal, he spent many years in the Portuguese colony of Brazil. When the
independence of Brazil was declared, Andrade was made minister of the interior
and of foreign affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The andradite species includes two other rarely-seen
varieties: the yellow topazolite and the black melanite. Melanite is an opaque
black stone with excellent luster. At one time it was rarely faceted as a
gemstone. However, with the interest in black diamond, and the general scarcity
of black gemstones, melanite has become popular for jewelry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The black color of melanite is the result of titanium
replacing some of the iron in its composition, and melanite is sometimes known
as titanian andradite. Because garnet has excellent gemstone characteristics --
good hardness and luster, and no cleavage - melanite is used in rings,
pendants, earrings and bracelets. It is fairly inexpensive, selling at
approximately the same price as black tourmaline. It is a very good alternative
to more expensive gems such as black sapphire and black spinel, and superior to
less expensive black gems such as onyx and jet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">From Siri - Each area that produces Melanites is different
energy, and the crystals work differently, too. Melanite from Mexico is slow
and earthy, very healing for the physical body. The Melanite from Russia is
absolutely the most powerful. It combines the earthiness of the Melanites from
Mexico with the height and high intense vibration of the Melanites from
California. The Melanites from California are pure high energy that shoots
right into the head </span></div>

and works more on the ethereal level. These crystals have
strong Titanium energy and heal more the emotional and mental causes for
disease, more so than the physical. However, healing still occurs in the
physical body with the Melanites from California.<o:p></o:p><br />

properties of both Andradite and Garnet in addition to its own properties. It
can help you learn not only self-love but also how to love others. Melanite

need arises. Melanite helps dispel jealousy. If this is an issue with you or
your significant other, you should keep the Melanite on a nightstand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

disputes. [Gienger, 43] It dispels anger, envy, jealousy and mistrust. [Hall,
138] Melanite is often called the male-focus garnet, good for men whose
feelings are locked, due perhaps to stern fathering or a strict single-sex
school, and who find it hard to express love or enjoy spontaneous pleasure.

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Peanut Wood is in-fact a “Petrified Wood”. But what is a
Petrified Wood? Rather than being a fossil, which is normally created as an
impression or a compression of the original living creature or plant, a
Petrified Wood is a three dimensional replacement of the original plant. Its
name is derived from the Greek word “petro” which translates as “wood turned
into stone”. And for once, here is a gemstone creation that is really easy to
grasp. Petrified Wood is exactly that, a tree that has over a period of time
turned into stone. The original living matter is normally replaced with a
silicate such as Quartz.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Peanut Wood however, is not your normal Petrified Wood.
Before it became petrified, it was swept into the ocean. The ocean washed and
cleaned the wood and turned it into something that would resemble driftwood
that you might see on a beach today. In the ocean this driftwood came under
attack from shell fish known as Teredo (also known as Shipworm). Just like wood
worms, they created little bore holes and tunnels into the wood. As the wood
got heavier and heavier as the attacks increased, it was no longer able to
float and sank to </span></div>

lightly-coloured sediment. Over a period of time, the wood became covered with
more and more layers of mud and sediment and eventually the petrification
process began.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Its name Peanut Wood was given to the gemstone as the

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Moonstone owes its name to the white, almost magical shimmer
that resembles moonshine. Blue-whitish light glides over the surface when the
stone is cut cabochon. Gemologists call this phenomena adularescence, which
originates from the interior structure of the gemstone in scales or lamellas.
Incoming rays of light are refracted inside the stone and scattered, creating a
unique play of light, which makes Moonstone so special and coveted. Moonstone
is the most well known potassium feldspar of the orthoclase species. A
combination of orthoclase and albite arranged in layers cause the lovely sheen.
Moonstone is fairly soft, 6-6.5 (Mohs scale) and sensitive to pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The name “sunstone” is used for specimens of translucent to
transparent feldspar that produce bright metallic flashes when light interacts
with tiny plate-like mineral inclusions within the stone. These mineral
inclusions usually have a common orientation and light entering the stone
reflects from them at a common angle. This produces a flash of light in the eye
of the observer who views them at the proper angle. This optical phenomenon is
known as “aventurescence”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

especially popular in the geographic areas where it is commercially mined. It
is not a gemstone that is seen in every jewelry store and many jewelry buyers
have never witnessed its aventurescence. However, once a person is given a
demonstration of sunstone’s aventurescence, they often want to try it and are
fascinated. It is a gemstone that sells best if the jeweler takes a moment to

located in Oregon. A few of the sunstone deposits in Oregon are large enough to
sustain mining operations. They are found in certain basalt flows in Lake
County and Harney County. There the sunstone occurs as phenocrysts within the
basalt. Some sunstone is produced from the weathered zone above the basalt
flows and some is produced from the basalt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Oregon basalt flows that contain sunstone are located
mainly on public land and many productive or promising areas are held by mining
claims. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has reserved one area in Lake County
as a public collecting area where anyone can enter, look for sunstone and keep
what they find for personal use. Collectors must follow BLM’s collecting rules
and stay off of adjacent lands where mining claims have been registered. A few of
the claim owners allow visitors to enter and collect for a fee. [2] <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Inclusions are particles of foreign material in a gemstone.
They cause a reduction in the clarity of the stone and usually damage its
desirability. However, some inclusions in sunstone can enhance its
desirability. These inclusions are perfectly flat, highly reflective and
precisely aligned to simultaneously produce a flash of light. Instead of
damaging the desirability, these flashes of light usually delight the observer
and increase the desirability of the stone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The inclusions in sunstone are usually tiny plates of

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sunstone occurs in a range of colors that begins with
colorless and ranges through yellow, orange and red. The color is determined,
in part, by the abundance and size of the copper platelets within the stone.
The copper platelets impart a pink or reddish color to the stone. Some
exceptional stones are deep green or blue in color. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Color can vary within a single stone. Some stones exhibit a
color gradient. They might be pink on one side of the stone and the color
gradually strengthens to orange on the other side of the stone. Other stones
have sharp color changes. These stones might have patches of green in contact
with an area of strong red color. Some exceptional stones are pleochroic -
their color depends upon the direction of observation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The value of gem-quality sunstone is determined by its
color, transparency and the quality of aventurescence. Colorless and yellow
stones are usually the least expensive and values increase through pink, orange
and red. Bright red stones, green stones and nice bicolor stones have the
highest values. Transparent stones with a nice aventurescence command premium
prices. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

will be less than optimal. The maximum flash and a symmetrical flash in a
cabochon is obtained when the stone is cut with the platelets oriented parallel

lapidaries began in the early 1900s. At that time Tiffany & Company
acquired mining claims near the community of Plush, Oregon. There they opened
the first commercial sunstone mine in the United States and produced jewelry
with faceted sunstone and sunstone cabochons. They called the clear stones
“Plush Diamonds”. Their efforts with sunstone must not have met Tiffany's
expectations because they stopped production and sold their claims. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sunstone is not often seen in jewelry stores in most parts
of the world. It is mainly used by innovative jewelry designers and those who
enjoy surprising customers with interesting pieces. The small amount of
sunstone entering the market as calibrated stones has limited its use in mass
production jewelry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a feldspar mineral, sunstone has a hardness of 6 on the
Mohs Hardness Scale and perfect cleavage in two directions. This makes it best suited
for earrings, brooches, small pendants and other jewelry items that will not be
exposed to rough wear. When used in rings it is best set in bezel, flush or
recessed settings where the stone will be protected from impact. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Quality sunstone is a wonderful gem but getting people to
notice its aventurescence is a marketing challenge. Jewelers who display it in
ways that feature its aventurescence or demonstrate it with enthusiasm are
often rewarded with sales. Its all about educating the buyer about the gem's
greatest asset. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Blue Lace Agate has a soft, soothing elegance; like sky-blue
waters released from winter's grasp. Its graceful, circular design has a
stimulating, positive effect on emotions and attitude. It is not a stone of
protection, but rather of encouragement and support. Its circular flowing
energy calms, uplifts and elevates. [Mella, 70]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Blue Lace Agate is a stone of communication, helping those
who have difficulty being heard by others, or who need confidence and
articulation to share their truths. It provides clarity of thought and
unwavering intent in regards to what matters most. [Simmons, 6] Blue Lace Agate
is a Stone of the Diplomat, assisting communication in situations were angry
words must be avoided, but clear understanding is necessary. [Ahsian, 7]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Blue Lace Agate is a variety of banded Chalcedony, a mineral
of the Quartz family. It is usually banded in layers of predominantly light
blue, striped with brighter blues, whites, and even brown threads of color.
Agate is sometimes called the earth rainbow because, in its various forms, the
concentric bands in nature form nearly every color the earth can produce,
including a colorless form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Historically, Agate has been discovered with the artifacts
of Neolithic people, and was used as healing amulets and ornamentation dating
back to Babylon. Its medicinal uses continued through the ancient Greek and
Egyptian civilizations, and spread throughout Africa and the Middle East into
Russia. Agate sparked a world renowned stonecutting and polishing industry in
Germany that flourished from the 15th to the 19th century, and exists today.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Metaphysically, Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to
a slower frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing
and strengthening influence. [Simmons, 6] The layered bands of microscopic
quartz in Agate may appear delicate, they are actually very strong. Agate is
excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in
harmonizing yin and yang, the positive and negative forces of the universe.

who are unable to stop talking, or who speak before thinking about the
consequences of their words. It encourages discernment about the thoughts they
share and the beauty of inner silence. It helps those who have trouble keeping
a secret, and promotes understanding in the sanctity of trust. It is an
excellent stone for imaginative children who present created stories, and may
need help in discerning whether an event was real or imagined. [Ahsian, 7]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fire Agate, a variety of chalcedony, is a semi-precious
natural gemstone found only in certain areas of northern Mexico and the
southwestern United States. Approximately 24-36 million years ago these areas
were subjected to massive volcanic activity during the Tertiary Period. The
fire agates were formed during this period of volcanism when hot water,
saturated with silica and iron oxide, repeatedly filled cracks and bubbles in
the surrounding rock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fire agates have beautiful iridescent rainbow colors, similar
to opal, with a measurement of hardness on the MOHS scale of between 6.5 and 7
which prevent issues of fading, cracking and scratching. The vibrant
iridescenct rainbow colors found within fire agates, created by the Schiller
effect as found in mother-of-pearl, is caused by the alternating silica and
iron oxide layers which diffract and allow light to pass and form interference
of colors known as fire. There is no actual object inside the stone, this
special effect arises from light interference within the microstructure
layering of the gem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as
an extrusive igneous rock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano
cools rapidly with minimum crystal growth. Obsidian is commonly found within
the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows, where the chemical
composition (high silica content) induces a high viscosity and polymerization
degree of the lava. The inhibition of atomic diffusion through this highly
viscous and polymerized lava explains the lack of crystal growth. Obsidian is
hard and brittle; it therefore fractures with very sharp edges, which had been
used in the past in cutting and piercing tools, and has been used
experimentally as surgical scalpel blades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

prehispanic groups in Mesoamerica. A careful analysis of obsidian in a culture
or place can be of considerable use to reconstruct commerce, production,
distribution and thereby understand economic, social and political aspects of a
civilization. This is the case in Yaxchilán, a Maya city where even warfare
implications have been studied linked with obsidian use and its debris. Another
example is the archeological recovery at coastal Chumash sites in California
indicating considerable trade with the distant site of Casa Diablo, California
in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

blades mounted in a wooden body. Called a macuahuitl, the weapon was capable of
inflicting terrible injuries, combining the sharp cutting edge of an obsidian
blade with the ragged cut of a serrated weapon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Native American people traded obsidian throughout the
Americas. Each volcano and in some cases each volcanic eruption produces a
distinguishable type of obsidian, making it possible for archaeologists to
trace the origins of a particular artifact. Similar tracing techniques have
allowed obsidian to be identified in Greece also as coming from Melos, Nisyros
or Yiali, islands in the Aegean Sea. Obsidian cores and blades were traded
great distances inland from the coast.[.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(FDA) for use on humans, obsidian is used by some surgeons for scalpel blades,
as well-crafted obsidian blades have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality
steel surgical scalpels, the cutting edge of the blade being only about 3 nanometers
thick] Even the sharpest metal knife has a jagged, irregular blade when viewed
under a strong enough microscope; when examined even under an electron microscope
an obsidian blade is still smooth and even. One study found that obsidian
incisions produced narrower scars, fewer inflammatory cells, and less
granulation tissue in a group of rats. Don Crabtree produced obsidian blades
for surgery and other purposes, and has
written articles on the subject. Obsidian scalpels may currently be purchased
for surgical use on research animals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fibrous mineral inclusions. The fibers in a Cat’s Eye form tubes that are
parallel to one another deep within the quartz stone. These fibers are not that
pronounced when in a square or rectangular form, however when in a sphere or
oval shape, the fibers are more pronounced and extremely fascinating to look
at.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Cat's Eye describes a gemstone polished into a cabochon that
displays a narrow band of concentrated light going accross the width of the
stone. This effect, known as chatoyancy, or cat's eye effect, is caused by
inclusions of fine, slender parallel mineral fibers in the gemstone that
reflect light in a single band. Of all the gemstones that exhibit cat's eye,
Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye is the best known. Chrysoberyl has the strongest and most
distinct cat's eye effect of all gemstones. Though several different gemstones
types exhibit a cat's eye effect, only Chrysoberyl's cat's eye enjoys the
privilege of having the name "Cat's Eye" without any prefix. Whenever
the term "Cat's Eye" is used, it refers to Chrysoberyl cat's eye by
default, unless otherwise specified.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

they are often confused with quartz tiger's eye. It is most often referred to
by the French as "oeil de chat". Chrysoberl crystals are famous for
increasing personal power and deepening spirituality. They help to increase
generosity and charitable behavior. This stone promotes forgiveness and offers
peace of mind to those who where it. Chrysoberyl can initiate intuition and
spark awareness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Chrysoberyl term originates from the greek words chrysos and
beryllos, meaning "a gold-white spar". Generally chrysoberyl is
confused with beryl which is a completely different mineral. Chrysoberyl is the third-hardest natural
gemstone and lies between Corundum and Topaz on Moh’s Hardness scale having
hardness of 8.5. Cat’s Eye or Cymophane is a gem variety of chrysoberyl which
shows the optical effect known as Cat’s Eye effect or Chatoyancy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Cat’s Eye effect is seen in chrysoberyl containing
microscopic tubelike cavities or needlelike inclusions of rutile which occur
parallel to the c-axis of the crystal. When these are cut en cabochon
perpendicular to the c-axis, a single ray of light can be seen to move on the
surface. This effect is termed as Chatoyancy. Chatoyancy comes from the French
'chat' (for cat) and 'oeil' (for eye). Chrysoberyls lacking the cat's eye
effect are mostly faceted, Cat's eyes are always cut into cabochons, since only
tall, rounded shapes render the line of the eye properly visible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

transparent, then it is used as a gemstone. The three main varieties of
chrysoberyl are: ordinary yellow-to-green chrysoberyl, <b>cat's eye or cymophane,</b> and alexandrite. Yellow-green chrysoberyl
was referred to as "chrysolite" during the Victorian and Edwardian
eras, which caused confusion since that name has also been used for the mineral
olivine ("peridot" as a gemstone); that name is no longer used in the

relationships. It is a stone that is useful during times of change, when you
need to move on and stop living in the past when it no longer serves you. It
can help bring us closer to and bond with our children, especially during the
difficult teenage years. It helps bring us energy during times of stressful

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the large and varied garnet family of gemstones, there
are six common varieties that are recognized based on their chemical
composition: pyrope, almandine, spessartite, grossularite, uvarovite and
andradite. There are also some mixed members, such as rhodolite garnet, which
is a mixture of pyrope and almandite by composition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">New hybrid garnets continue to be discovered. In 1994 a
mixture of grossular and andradite garnet was discovered in the West African
country of Mali, and was named mali garnet. This discovery drew a lot of
interest because the grossular and andradite varieties are among the rarest and
most valuable garnets. Members of the grossular group include tsavorite and
hessonite. The most famous member of the andradite group is the rare demantoid
garnet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The chemical composition of mali garnet is intermediate
between that of grossular (calcium aluminum silicate) and andradite (calcium
iron silicate). Though mali garnets are predominantly grossularite, the
presence of andradite lends mali an impressive dispersion or fire that is
reminiscent of the diamond-like demantoid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

discovery was first made there was a lot of material on the market and prices
were moderate. In recent years the supply has diminished and prices have risen.
Large sizes are quite rare, so the price per carat tends to increase
significantly for larger sizes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ametrine is the name used when a single crystal of quartz
has zones of gemstone quality amethyst (purple) and gemstone quality citrine
(golden) in contact with one another. The words AMEthyst and ciTRINE were
combined to yield ametrine. Sometimes the name trystine is used in reference to
these purple / golden gemstones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a variety of quartz, ametrine is very hard, at seven on
the Mohs Hardness Scale. This hardness along with a lack of cleavage makes
ametrine suitable for almost any jewelry purpose, including rings and bracelets
that might encounter accidental impact. Many consider ametrine to be an elegant
but inexpensive gemstone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This multi-colored gemstone has more than a double color, it
seems also to have a double history. Most geological references state that
Ametrine was first brought to the gem market in the 1970s. Except there is
another story about this special crystal that dates back to the conquistadors
stating a quite different story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During the 17th century, a conquistador named Don Felipe married
Anakha, the princess to the Aureiros tribe of Bolivia. The mine, named Anahi
for the princess, was given to him as part of her dowry. When it came time for
Felipe to return to Spain, his princess bride wished to return with him. As the
couple attempted to depart, angry tribesmen turned on them and murdered the
young princess. The duo colored gem is said to represent the princess' two
loyalties: to her husband and to her tribe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Also known as trystine or by it's trade name bolivianite, it
is a naturally occurring variety of quartz. It is a "mixture" of
amethyst and citrine with zones of purple and of yellow or orange, but yet a
crystal of it's own, not just a mixture of it's two cousins. Most all commercially
available ametrine is minded in Bolivia, although there are deposits being
exploited in Brazil as well as India.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The different colors visible within ametrine are due to
differing oxidation states of iron within the crystal. The different oxidation
states occur due to a temperature gradient across the crystal during it's
formation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In order for the Iron to produce both colors within the same
crystal, very specific conditions have to be present. Not only does one area of
the crystal have to be exposed to more heat, while another section is slightly
cooler; this dual temperature condition has to remain stable during the entire
growth cycle of the crystal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

heat, flowing in just the right direction to
cause one area of the forming crystals to stay "hotter" than the
rest. Creating the perfect balance to form ametrines. Otherwise, these magical
gems would have become Amethysts or Citrines.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Only two places on the entire planet had just the right
circumstances to form Ametrine Crystals. The Anahi Mine in Bolivia and the
Hyderabad Mine in India. The Bolivian mine yields about 90% of ametrine being
marketed today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1999 a new area of the mine was opened near Pozo Rico and
a huge cavern of Ametrine crystals was discovered. This crystal covered cave
measures 4 meters x 3 meters x 1 meter. India's Ametrine is primarily Amethyst
with small Citrine zones and lack the rich bi-coloring found in the Bolivian
specimens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today the bi-colors of the Ametrine are extremely popular in
the jewelry trade. Despite its rarity, this special Quartz crystal remains very
reasonably priced. Cutters have developed new faceting techniques and elongated
rectangles shapes to show off this gem's delightful duality. Artificial
ametrine can be created by differential heat treatment of amethyst.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
