341.0. "Stones, Gems, Rocks" by MANTIS::PARE () Mon Mar 23 1987 12:45

    Can anyone give a quick rundown on the associations of stones
    and gems?  I've found the most charming little Gem Company where
    an elderly retired gentleman finds and carves, grinds and polishes
    his own rocks and stones.  His wife is equally adept at working
    with all kinds of plants.  Her gardens are quite famous in the area
    and she will sometimes bring home and raise from their excursions into the
    woods little plants that grow quite large and beautiful (though
    no one seems to be able to quite identify them).
    
    He specializes in a crystal that grows naturally in the shape of
    a cross.  This particular crystal was formed naturally when the
    earth's was very new and can only be found in three places in the
    world; Lancaster, Mass, and a town in California, and a town in
    Austrialia.  I'm so attracted to him and his little shop that I've
    returned to buy things several times and I am facinated with the
    stones.  Can anyone suggest some books dealing with the meanings
    of different stones?
    Thank you,
    Mary

    I've been advised (thanks Topher) that it would be ok to post the name
    and location of the gem store.  It is called GEMICO and is located on 
    Jordan Avenue in Lunenburg, Mass 01462  (617)343-6215.  
    
    All you will find is a little white house at the circle end of a tiny 
    dead-end street off of Pratt Street in Lunenburg,.the shop is in his house.
    The cross shaped crystal he specializes in finding is called chiastlite
    crystal.  Their names are Russ and Millie Jordan.

    sorry...it's chiastolite  (typo)

    >Can anyone give a quick rundown on the associations of stones and
    gems ?
    
    "quick rundown"- no. But I just obtained an 11 page list (more than
    I will type in) of mineral "characteristics" put together by a local
    "expert" on the subject, and his wife ( who I feel does excellent
    channeled writings). I went to a short workshop on crystals by Jack
    Frasl and he seemed very knowledgeable. 
                        
    The list is introduced as:
    "A synthesis of characteristics expanded to include minerals not
    usually defined in new age texts.  Inspired and verified by our
    principal spirit guides - Lady Master Altona and Lady Alena."
     
    Unfortunately, it does not mention Chiastolite among its long list.
    If there is interest in specific minerals I can type in a few. Or
    if you are *seriously* interested I can send a copy to your mail
    stop if you send a mail message request.

    >...quick rundown on the assocations of stones and gems.
    
    I finally obtained a copy of another highly recommended esoteric
    book on the useage of stones and gems.  This field is a classic
    example of the experimenter affecting the experiment.  This author
    also supports the opinion that you may have to research several
    interpretations to find the one that is right for you.
    
    
    The book is:
    "Crystal Enlightenment" By Katrina Raphaell  "The transforming
    properties of crystals and healing stones."
    
    It is quickly becoming my favorite reference on the subject. The
    preface hooked me on the book by giving a reasonable explanation
    of why people started hanging rocks all over their bodies:-)
    
    It also covers the association of crystals/minerals to chakras (take
    note Mary).

341.5Katrina Raphael - A 2nd BookNATASH::BUTCHARTFri Apr 10 1987 14:2120
    There is also now a 2nd book by Katrina Raphael:  _Crystal Healing_.
    I found it in the Unicorn Bookstore in Arlington.  It expands upon
    and goes into further detail about the subjects covered in _Crystal
    Enlightenment_.  For those of you who enjoyed the first book, I
    bet you'll enjoy this one, too.  In addition to presenting healing
    methods, including focusing, protective, meditative and clearing
    exercises to practice when attempting healing with crystals, there
    are specific stone layouts for each chakra.  There is also a nifty
    chapter where she tries to correlate quartz crystal shape with a
    stone's possible function for you.  One of stone types she called
    a Channelling Crystal, which is supposed to help you tap into your
    inner stores of wisdom, whether you believe that store to be you
    subconscious, spirit guides, collective unconscious--whatever. 
    When I carefully examined all my stones I discovered that over 50%
    of them are what she identifies as channelling stones.  It is true
    that I've felt much in need lately (past 2 years) of whatever inner
    wisdom I might possess; it'll be interesting to try her exercises
    with them.

341.6finding our own crystalsMANTIS::PAREFri Apr 10 1987 14:575
    The Rollstone Quarry in Fitchburg is a good source of Fieldspar,
    Smoky Quartz, and other crystals....(for those of us who like to
    go out and find our own).  It is an old granite quarry and it is
    located in the hills surrounding the Fitchburg valley.  
    Good hunting :-)
341.7MANTIS::PAREMon Apr 13 1987 17:403
    re -1
    In addition can be found black tourmaline, green beryl, garnet,
    and quartz.

    Can you provide directions from I-495 to the Rollstone Quarry in
    Fitchburg.
    
    peace
    
341.10Hope I got this right...MANTIS::PAREFri Apr 24 1987 17:1440
    >Can you provide more detailed directions to GEMICO in Lunenburg?

Take 495 to route 2 west.  Get off at the Searstown Exit.  Take a right
off of the highway.  Stay straight on that road until you see Whalom Park
on your right (can't miss Kiddy Land :-).  When the park ends you will be
at an intersection, the street on the left is Whalom Road.  Go left onto
Whalom Road.  Just before the white church on the right is Pratt Street.
Take a right onto Pratt Street.  Jordan Ave is a tiny dead-end street on
the left about half-way up Pratt Street.  GEMICO is in the little white 
house at the end of the circle.


>Can you provide directions from I-495 to the Rollstone Quarry in
>Fitchburg.
..........(a bit tricky)...

Take route 2 west to the Mt. Elam Road exit (past the Leominster and Fitchburg
exits).  Take Mt. Elam road (a little country road in the woods) all the way
to the end.  At the end, cross over Electric Avenue and go straight (parallel
to the cemetery) until the road ends.  Take a left at the end of the road and
take your next right (past Memorial Junior High school).  Go all the way to 
the end of the street and you will be on the street that borders the quarry.

If you take a right to the top of the incline you will see a path in the 
woods that leads to the top of the quarry.  

If you take a left and then a right onto King Street and go all the way to 
the end of King Street, you will come to the old quarry road.  It will be
blocked by huge stones so you will have to leave your car and walk up.  In
the quarry there is a pit in the ground and a bolder is exposed that looks 
like pure quartz with black tormaline crystals in it....bring a mason's 
hammer if you have one.  The granite is piled everywhere.  The sand was mostly
shipped in from other places.  Garnet and green beryl can be found at the 
top of the quarry..(with luck).  

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.  (and have a good time :-)

341.11Crystals and plants. hint #...MIST::IVERSONThere's a seeker born every minuteTue May 12 1987 15:2843
     A hint you won't find in "Heloise":-)    :
    
    What to do with those crystal shards and pieces that just
    aren't display quality that you end up with after a day
    of rock hunting.
    
    An owner of one of the local crystal shops suggested putting
    them in the soil of your houseplants.  His plants in the
    shop with crystals are all thriving so it certainly doesn't
    hurt.
    
    Possible explanations ranging from the esoteric to the
    mundane, depending upon your accepted mythology. Keeping
    in mind that technology is just one more mythology:-):
    
    Crystals are said to be the bridge between the animate
    and inanimate worlds. It is said that divas are very strongly
    connected to or reside with crystals. Therefore you are
    putting our plant diva "asssistants" back in place in
    a world that has been sterilized of such things.
    
    A case has been presented several places (e.g. "The Secret
    Life of Plants") that plants respond to electrical and
    thought stimuli. By giving the plant a crystal you are
    intensely directing your thoughts toward the plant which
    the crystal can then use its properties to enhance .
    
    If you can accept that plants respond to anything at all,
    besides light and fertilizer, you should be able to accept
    the crystals acting as transducers changing vibrations
    coming through the soil into micro electronic impulses
    which can stimulate the plant.
    
    Of course if you live in the most boring of realities,
    you can also figure "du rocks give good drainage to du
    plant". But then you probably aren't crystal hunting any
    way and you probably haven't read this far. ;-)

    re .11:
    
    That being the case, one would better try to establish a
    crystal-to-plant correlation, since not all crystals would be created
    equal.

341.13crystal shop in GloucesterFSTVAX::WIMMERThu May 14 1987 14:2117
    For those of you in the Massachusetts area, there is an excellent
    crystal/gem shop in Gloucester called Heaven and Earth.  They have
    an excellent collection of crystals, books about crystals/gemstones,
    and are really neat people.  They make beautiful jewelry using the
    stones and will do custom stuff.  One of their specialities is a
    type of crystal called moldavite.  It is found only in a river bed
    in Yugoslavia and is from a meteor (exterresterestial gift?).  It
    is reported to be a very powerful substance and they have written
    up a description with a number of reports from people who have used
    it.  I gave a moldavite earring to a friend who reports having
    incredable dreams since beginning to wear it!
    
    Take 128 North to Gloucester and go straight into East Gloucester
    at the first rotary.  The shop is up about 1 mile on your right.
     It's well worth the trip!

    There will be a Gem and Jewelry Show at the Sheraton Boxboro, Boxboro
    Massachusetts, the weekend of November 3rd. Wanted to let you all know 
    as this is one of the best shows (this organization does the Shriners' 
    show in March of every year) and anyone interested in jewelry, stones, 
    and crystals might want to check it out.
    
    The times are as follows:

    The Sheraton said there should be between 75-100 exhibitors. 
    Admission is $5.00.
    
    Directions:
    
    If you were driving SOUTH (i.e., coming from the north) on Rte 495,
    take a RIGHT off the exit ramp (EXIT 28) onto Rte 111; follow Rte 111  
    over Rte 495;  take your first RIGHT after you pass over 495.
    
    If you were driving NORTH (i.e., coming from the south) on Rte 495,
    take a LEFT off the exit ramp onto Rte 111; take your first RIGHT. 
    
    This "first right" will have a sign -- "Sheraton".  The road is long-ish 
    and winds about a bit before finishing up at the Sheraton itself.
    
    My thanks to the individuals who provided this information.

341.20Brown star saphire qualities?WORDY::STEINHARTPixillatedFri Mar 22 1991 15:5411
    Does anyone have information pertaining to the star saphire, especially
    in the brown-gold colors?
    
    I've read that star saphires are reputed to connect us to the stars or
    celestial intelligence.  I'm curious if there's more detail, especially
    on the rare brown ones.
    
    My experience wearing my brown saphire is of being grounded,
    paradoxically.  I feel very strong when I wear it, almost invulnerable.
    
    Laura
341.21I'll check on brown star sapphiresCECV01::ESOMSAccepting AbundanceWed May 01 1991 22:387
    Laura,
    
    Are you sure your stone is a brown star sapphire and not a deep
    star ruby?  Many of the ruby stars are dark and this might be
    the reason for feeling grounded.

341.23Not a Sapphire\KARHU::TURNERMon May 06 1991 12:025
    re .21
    
    There  is another stone besides sapphires that has a star. It goes by
    the colloguial name of tiger's eye. The ones I've seen were brown.
    
341.24May be tigers eye?WORDY::STEINHARTPixillatedMon May 20 1991 17:3718
    Hmmm. . . Maybe it is actually a "tiger's eye".  I dunno.  It's oval,
    dark brown, and has a gold star that moves.  It looks like a blur under
    flourescent light.
    
    You should see the gemstones for sale in Bangkok.  They are
    magnificent.  Some people finance their trips to Thailand by buying them,
    claiming them as personal property to customs, and selling them in the
    US.  The jewelers custom make mountings and they are fast!  But if you ever
    go there, visit the Buddhist wats (temples).  I enjoyed the small
    moments best, such as watching a couple release doves by the river. 
    This is a religious custom; you earn "credit" by freeing animals. 
    Every taxi cab had garlands of orchids on the dashboard.  Orchids and
    candles are given during devotions.  The people are kind and always
    smiling.
    
    Maybe the gemstone's effect on me is associated with its origin.

                            ROCKS/MINERALS/GEMSTONES/SHELLS
    
    
    Over the ages much importance has been given to the properties of rocks, 
    gem, and minerals.  All have different vibrations with properties that 
    influence us.  Some transmit their own energy, others channel from the 
    universe or from the sender and still others contain energy that must be 
    reached for.  Trust your intuition; if you are drawn to a stone or 
    receive one, its properties will be beneficial to you.  Here are some of 
    the properties associated with the rock, gem, or mineral listed.  They 
    are not hard and fast associations, just a guide.
    
    
                                     * * *
    
    
    ABALONE:  Heals instinctive center and makes one calmer and less afraid.  
    A healer for high frequency types.
    
    
    AGATE:  It is an earth stone and helps balance someone who uses logic 
    more than intuition.  Fertilizes concepts of growth.  Grounds one to the 
    earth.  They are for strength and support and strengthens the vibrations 
    of other stones.

    	  tive.  A de-stresser.  Carry for peace and happiness.

    	  physical stress like during physical exercise.
    
       PLUME:  Can encourage creative visualization.  It helps keep one 
    	  focused.  This stone can help you create an image of what you want 
    	  and aid in directing your attention to achieve the goal.  Opens up 
    	  the expression of sexuality and creativity.

    in accepting their environment and situation.  It facilitates being in 
    peace with one's self.  It can be used to eliminate hostility towards 
    oneself.  Can be used to eliminate anger, jealousy and prejudice.  It 
    enhances creativity.  
    
    
    ALBITE:  It encourages and helps balance relationships.  Helps one get 
    into action by providing insight into the purpose.  Helps with 
    confidence.  It clarifies thoughts.  Can help one connect to their 
    psychic self by awakening the energy of the third-eye.  It is a purifier 
    of the disturbed portions of the physical body.
