Calming Anxiety with Rhodonite

Question: HI Sheila, I apologize for not letting you know I received the Lepidolite bracelet.  I love it! I've been ill for a while and it helped a great deal.  

Do you have raw tumbled rhodalite?  You know, the pink and black stone?  I had a frog made of that stone and really was attached to it but when my daughter moved to Florida 7 years ago I sent it along with her as a good look token.  It must have worked because she is now happily married with a beautiful daughter of her own and has just been certified to teach.  She also snagged a cute home on a lake with an oddly helpful water spirit.  I'd forgotten about the stone until I had a severe panic attack and she pulled it out of her purse and handed it to me.  Wow!  Did that bring back memories... and helped calm my attack.  Anyway, I am interested in a palm sized raw tumbled "chunk" of Rhodalite if you can help.

Answer: Hi, it's great to hear from you and to hear that your Lepidolite bracelet is helping to balance your energies.

Do you mean Rhodonite? It is also a pink and black stone. I do have Rhodonite jewelry: http://www.idigcrystals.com/rhodonite-Crystals-Q-Z/b/4973260011?ie=UTF8&title=rhodonite

Or, if you are particularly looking for tumbled stones, I can refer you to my mother's website, Sunny Crystals, as she specializes in loose stones: http://www.sunnycrystals.com http://www.sunnycrystals.com/Rhodonite-Crystals-MR/b/6160987011?ie=UTF8&title=Rhodonite

If you are referring to Rhodolite Garnet which is usually just red, I can ask her specifically to look for some during their next buying trip!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

Maori Stones with Magnetite

Scientists are studying the Earth's magnetic field using the stones that line Maori steam ovens.The cooking process generates so much heat that the magnetic minerals in these stones will realign themselves with the current field direction. Abandoned stones at these locations could shed light on Earth's magnetic behaviour going back hundreds of years.

"The Maori prefer these volcanic boulders because they don't crack and shatter in the fire, and from our point of view they're the best because magnetically they behave better - they're formed with a high concentration of magnetite," the Wellington scientist said. "But there are some sedimentary rocks which we can use also."

Bead Hunting in Missouri

This past Thanksgiving I spent time with Matthew's family in the Missouri countryside, a great change of scenery from the condensed city life of San Francisco. We went for long walks in the fresh air, collected rocks in the creek bed and went bead hunting while the boys went hunting hunting! Here are a few pictures to share with you - Sheila :)

Jet & Betel Nuts

Jet is a black, lightweight stone crystallized from fossilized wood. Jet has been traditionally used to ward against evil and violence. In this crystal healing wrap bracelet, Jet is beaded with wood and Betel Nuts. Betel Nuts come from the tropical Areca palm tree. These are sustainable beads because they are created from the fruit of the Areca rather than the tree itself. Betel Nuts have interesting patterns and can be carved just like wood to use in natural healing jewelry.
