Brazilian Shaman's Dark Smoky Quartz Crystals
Main Healing Altar Find.
Found at her, "Main Altar of Healing." This Main Altar of Healing was what amounted to a small infirmary of sorts.
Located in an east-facing porched hall on the first floor it contained many unusual artifacts with alleged healing attributes.
She does indeed record some dramatic, if not always successful treatments that she performed.
Although, we must add, her record of successful treatment, although bizarre to many, had better than a 90% cure ratio, which, if true, is rather impressive.
The Crystal Cluster:
This is one of the few remaining specimens recovered from what we had come to name as The Dark Smokey Quartz Crystal Cabinet.
The cabinet was handmade by an unknown maker with a wall of red felt-lined drawers,
Apparently custom-made to accommodate sixty-two of these dark smokey quartz crystal "ritual healing" formations.
She had assembled and used these in treating a host of physical, psychological, and metaphysical disorders in this altar room.
They were well inventoried and indexed for use, which would seem by her journal entries that they would be
"Prescribed" for use with her patients along with certain, "healing mantra, spells, herbs and potions to cure their maladies."
What she prescribes is a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Native American, Hebrew, Muslim, (and a host of others),
But assuredly a set of traditional religious healing practices that originated from the African diaspora.
She attributes their use as, "extraordinary healers to heal mind and body which stimulate and amplify the flow of chakra energy."
Her journals and inventory tell us this, 3 3/8" x 3 1/8" x 1 3/4", 7.8 oz. cluster formation was obtained during her 1962 Brazilian Shaman artifact hunt.
Although she does not name them in her notes she solicited a handful of Brazilian holy men, healers, sorcerers, and seers
To act as guides to her party, and relinquish some of their precious finds usually in trade for guns.
She makes numerous references to this source of smokey quartz, some of which read
"It is coveted for its anchoring earth energies for those with an appreciation for the earth mother. "
"These are very soothing crystals with subtle energies that have proven useful in healing female disorders.
They neutralize negative energies and are a fine choice for gazing trance, and dream meditations.
With proper focus, many hidden secrets have been revealed."
From what we've gathered from the journals recovered from this estate, the teaching of crystals or Crystallography as they saw it was taught and practiced.
From these journals it is garnered these teachings involved Hermes Trismegistus's early interactions with their ancestors!
It is also apparent their studies included the geometry of crystals that measured the angles of crystal faces relative to theoretical reference axes and establishing the symmetry of the crystal.
One of the teaching relics found was an optical goniometer. We had no idea what this was at the time, but they conducted scientific occult studies that certainly warrant further research.
It is really unfortunate that what amounted to what we feel may have been the most comprehensive occult and alchemic library ever compiled
Was destroyed by water, heat, light, humidity, dust, dirt, rodents, insects, and microorganisms, the result of Hurricane Andrew.
It should also be noted that many of the crystals used "in class" found their way to other areas of the estate being used in "divination, spell and individual work as well as healing."
Our examination of this crystal concluded it is as she describes, a "Starbrary Twins Transmitting Energy Generator Smokey Quartz Crystal Cluster."
She goes on to tell us, "There are elestial Starbrary etchings along the planes. Use these to access Akashic records."
Generator crystals will have six equally sized side planes terminating in a central tip.
It is unusual to find this shape naturally occurring in nature. One might find a point with the energy signature of a generator
But its physical confirmation will not be generator-specific with equal-sized planes and centrally located tips of the two that are in this cluster.
Those that are have usually been ground and polished into generator points.
The energy of these crystals will not be the same as a naturally occurring point as the internal structure of the crystal is not the same.
Their journals tell us "it has a powerful direct focused energy emission."
"The energy of this formation, although not perfect, is predominantly that of a generator or Merlin crystal as the energy emits from its centrally located points.
Although it does not meet the exact configuration of a generator formation, it still emits the energy of one."
Her journals and inventory tell us this, 3 1/2" x 3 1/8" x 2 1/2", 12 oz. cluster formation was obtained during her 1962 Brazilian Shaman artifact hunt.
Our examination of this crystal concluded it is as she describes, a "Starbrary Self-Healed Key Penetrator Record Keeping Smokey Quartz Crystal Cluster."
Self-healed crystals either have many small terminations or similar structures at the base or tip of its body where it has been broken off from its growth base
Or having been damaged during growth which has then continued growing repairing the damage and restoring its formation.
Some self-healed crystals will exhibit a complete fracture which has mended and grown back together.
Some crystals will change their growth pattern so that many smaller terminations form, one to each area of damage.
This knowledge of how to self-heal is made available and is accessible to the user so this crystal is quite powerful when used as a healer of grief, trauma, guilt, loss, addictions, and fears.
They show it is possible to achieve perfection and serve as a reminder that there are many different versions of perfection."
"Key crystals will usually have a six-sided indentation going into a side or face of the crystal body.
This will ideally end within the crystal in an impression of a termination where the other crystal once penetrated into the main one.
Perfect key crystals are quite rare.
As the name suggests this crystal may be used to unlock "doors" to help provide answers and help in accessing that which has been hidden."
"Record Keeper crystals display small etched or raised triangles on the faces or sides of the crystal formation.
They may be small or large; very obvious or hard to see, singles or multiples, and sometimes layered.
They can be found on most types of crystal formations including ruby, sapphire, aquamarine, topaz, hematite, etc.
Record keepers are not rare, but very clear and prominent ones are quite hard to find.
They indicate you have a crystal which contains records or information relevant to you only, the person who owns the crystal, or they may concern mankind, be purely practical, or spiritual.
It will allow access to sources of information, through the Akashic records via meditation, but only when the crystal is approached with pure intentions."
Manataka Vapor Valley Quartz Crystal
1888 LiDiex Suite Find.
This is one of the thirty-seven, natural quartz crystal formations she has inventoried as,
"Ma-Na-Ta-Ka, Vapor Valley Crystal" that were recovered from the suite of the 1888 LiDiex.
A number of their journal entries detail the forays of the 1888 LiDiex into secret underground caves, chambers, passages, and portals they claimed,
"Were manufactured by our earliest descendants, the ancient explorers that colonized this planet who came to be known as Gods and Deities."
One entry dated, "April, 13th. 1901, He enters the African Caves as an athlete, a magnificent creature.
Hours later he emerges in Andalusia which is confirmed by radio. He has found Saint Michael's Device and invoked him."
These entries allege crystal specimens and gems were brought from under the earth by this LiDiex.
Naming them as "Invocation Stones" that were placed here for us by these ancient descendants.
It is alleged that this is one such crystal, attributed to, "a Secret Vapor Valley Portal that he has recovered."
Ma-Na-Ta-Ka Vapor Valley Crystal:
Her inventory lists this crystal as, "a Ma-Na-Ta-Ka Vapor Valley Crystal, July 1908."
There are a number of entries that claim this LiDiex was able to take guests with him through underground portals
And emerge at what they called, "a Vapor Valley Conference."
Essentially he and his guests were presented as guest speakers bearing gifts to a Native tribal conference of Holy Men
To discuss the members of, "the Secret Rosicross who hold power" and their ongoing quest to shut down or rather obliterate Native Holy Sites worldwide.
Our own research has turned up some pretty fascinating information corroborating Golden Dawn and Rosicrucian ritual murder.
These ceremonies taking place at spas or springs which were once Native American Holy Ritual Sites that have now been covered up or obliterated from the face of the earth.
This, they claim, is responsible for the disproportionate number of children's deaths attributed as farm accidents in their regions of operation.
There really is an abundance of information along these lines of research, once again, far too much to place in this already lengthy text, but we wholeheartedly encourage you to research this further.
Their journals indicate this LiDiex's use of these stones was for past life dream recall, divination, and spell invocation.
They describe the crystals being, "held aloft in both hands before being drawn into the chakra in descending order as a prelude to entering the meditative state."
This describes a lengthy, silent use of intense physical and mental concentration as this would take upwards of three hours to perform.
"Holding it aloft, in the lap or caressed upon a stand or pillow throne while unconsciously caressing it to the point where the crystal cuts flesh,
This blood being left on the body and the stone to activate and feed it."
She also notes, "These stones have side affects, usually on those not indoctrinated to our ways," as she puts it in one entry.
These side affects include disorientation, nervousness, excessive sweating, and nausea.
Another entry reads, "If these discomforts arise, discontinue your use, bathe and cleanse yourself.
After a brief rest, you may continue, noticing longer periods of use without discomfort with each successive session."
Another entry reads, "Ones chakra must be cleansed once the stone has let blood.
Once considered, it is a stone of clear communication, allowing access to information along the timeline of our adult and childhood spirit memories often invoking laughter.
This is a beneficial, healing crystal we have utilized in stimulating intuit ability blocked with childhood memories.
These are advanced practitioner stones that communicate this knowledge to those that walk our paths.
This is not a lone use stone, as it feeds on, and generates energy among groups fostering the group energy into a single, focused force that can be controlled as it is quite cooperative."
Following their instructions, we grasped the stone in both hands, locating the "various tools and gazing along the surface of the crystal."
There are numerous formations on the body and faces of this crystal with the pyramid faces she mentions as, "being a window" is obvious.
Our examination of this crystal concluded it is as she describes, "a 4 15/16" long Elestial etched, Key, Self Healed, Timeline, Sceptre, Ma-Na-Ta-Ka Vapor Valley Invocation Crystal."
It measures approximately 4 15/16" x 2 3/16" x 2 5/8" and weighs 282.1 grams.
There are numerous areas of this formation which they tell us were are sharp enough to intentionally use to draw blood onto the crystal in order to activate it.
Close examination reveals faint Record Keepers, these are triangular etchings on one of the faces along with some raised ones that do not conform to the norm.
Although record keepers are usually small, slightly raised, or indented triangular shapes found on quartz crystal faces.
They are usually in alignment with the crystal's point. Sometimes though they appear sideways or upside down and are called Trigonic record keepers.
The record keepers can be found by shining a light on the faces of the crystal and moving it around slowly until they appear.
It is believed that record keepers will appear out of nowhere and move around, in and on the crystal formation.
The crystal also displays Striations. These are often called elestial etching barcodes which are the parallel raised ridges on the body of the crystal.
The crystal also displays timelines to the past and future with areas of self-healing. Self-healed crystals were broken off of their original matrix.
This occurs with the movements and shifts in the Earth, environment, pressure, and other nearby forming crystals.
She goes on to tell us, "there are elestial etchings along the planes. Use these to access Akashic records."
Their journals tell us "it has a powerful direct focused energy emission."
Self-Healed, Tabular, Key, Timeline, Sphatika Riddle Rock Crystal
Séance Reading Room Find.
This is one of the hundreds of smaller (under 6") crystal formations that were recovered from the shelves and cabinets in her séance and reading rooms.
Many of these pieces were marked with a paper tag and corresponding numbers in her journaled inventory which tells us these are:
"Sphatika Riddle Rock Crystal specimen obtained from the collection of the 1898 LiDiex."
Her journaled inventory tells us, "Sphatika Riddle Rock Crystal" is sourced material being a bringback from a visit to Himavanta mountain in 1921.
How they were procured, and exactly where Himavanta mountain is, they do not tell us, but they do tell us this crystal is as found as far as shape is concerned.
Unlike most of the descriptions left for us in their journals and inventories, the circumstance and location of the procurement of this source of crystal is conspicuously vague.
They do however give us a clue through a riddle with:
Runs all day but never walks. Often murmurs, never talks.
It has a bed but never sleeps, It has a mouth but never eats.
Crooked as a snake, Slick as a plate Ten thousand horses Can't pull it straight.
Three of their journals contain numerous entries which discuss and comment on this source of quartz, referring to it as,
"Sphatika, one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, the fourth treasure" and "an auspicious vibrational stone of Shiva."
Another of her entries reads; "This stone is set to deliver mantra and is specifically attuned to Shiva on His vibrational plane.
In this tradition, we use them for the deliverance of prayer spells through the Buddhist and Hindu mantra used to invoke Him."
Some other entries read; "One simply needs chant Siva Panchakshari Mantra one hundred and eight times with vibhuti for this to be demonstrated.
With ash from the sacred fire applied to the forehead during these ritual chants, your fate will be written there and easily altered for the better.
Eat but a pinch of the vibhuti to bring an end to disease, sin, and poverty."
"Light energy shines to delight the visual sense in these sphatika.
Used with simple offerings of water, milk, or vibhuti and Panchakshari Mantra, all negative energy is destroyed.
This will include your darkest sin, bad karma, curse, or hex."
"Perform puja with this stone to enhance health, power, self-esteem, and confidence.
It is said that one hundred and twenty-five thousand recitations of a mantra will bring mantra siddhi, the realization of a notable level of benefit from the mantra.
Mantra siddhi or perfection of any particular mantra is easily obtained when chanted on this stone with proper offerings."
"Specific counts of twelve, twenty-seven, thirty-six, fifty-four or one hundred and eight Mrutyumjaya Mantra
While offering vibhuti, milk, or water will cure illness, prevent accidents and other worldly mishaps."
"Gaze into them and all sorrow and difficulties will be assuaged."
"Chant Panchakshari Mantra one hundred and eight repetitions while offering the same number of spoonfuls of milk every Monday for twenty weeks without expectation
And all desires will be fulfilled as Lord Shiva is fond of abhishekham and those that practice it."
1898 LiDiex:
The research involved with this estate has provided continued fascination.
The procurer of this crystal was another of the men known only as, "LiDiex."
A 5th generation descendant of the original man known only as "LiDiex"
Who arrived to these shores as a survivor and saboteur of the slave Ship Henrietta Marie in 1701,
Who found his way to New Orleans to meet with the parents of the then infant grandmother of our priestess, Marie Laveau.
The original LiDiex was a wood carver, cabinet, and furniture maker as were many of his descendants.
This is another case of the multi-generational relationships we have encountered with this family as the LiDiex all had a strong association with these women.
He branched off into glassmaking after returning to New Orleans from an extended stay in Europe where he studied the glass making techniques of Murano and Bohemia.
In addition to being the maker of a proliferous collection of glass, many pieces being described as having a wide variety of metaphysical attributes,
He was a meticulous carver, responsible for an array of carvings, wood puzzle boxes, and furniture.
He is mentioned in numerous journal entries as one of the LiDiex who accompanied her on many of her adventures, being a trusted practitioner and follower of his mistress.
Their journals show him as one of her chief enforcers and a "Zuvembie" leader, often referred to as, "a skilled sorcerer, tactician, warrior and artist" who was deeply involved in her works.
Rock Crystal:
Her journals tell us she used these stones in her meditations, contacting the dead, dream invocations, and protection from negative energy.
The journal entries pertaining to these, "meditations" provide some fascinating insight into what amounts to Lucid Dream Manipulation
That she claims to have achieved in a waking, trance-like meditative state that involved astral journeys into alternate realities,
And different galaxies that placed her mind, will, and physical being into the dream psyche of others in the past, present, and future.
This will come as no surprise to many of you having experienced her entering your own dreams prior to finding these listings.
A practiced Lucid Dreamer, she kept a detailed journal of these dream experiences that are a small book in their own right covering a period over eight decades!
Their journals tell a fascinating story of their practices.
While in these dream states, they claim to have been able to, "project my consciousness in physical and spiritual form at will."
Describing journeys into alternate universes that they felt, "alternately occupied the same time space continuum as our own."
Yet other entries make a more localized use of these dream manipulations
Where she claims to have entered the minds of individuals to influence their dreams and bend their will to her own.
This would often lead to their being put at ease, cleansing them of the residual left from past life or childhood traumas.
Other manipulations however had a more sinister intent, playing upon an individual's fears with the intent of destroying the quality of that individual's life
Often resulting in madness and even death according to her journals.
She claims to have been able to enter the dreams of future generations of known associates and family members,
"in order to awaken, empower, and prepare them for the coming hardships of their time."
Many of us (you?), having experienced such dream or visionary experiences prior to any waking knowledge of her existence, giving credence to these entries.
She names this as, 'a Self Healed, Tabular Key Timeline formation with an established point for focus." Her journals tell us, “it is one of the more powerful healing formations.”
Its Tabular shape refers to it having a flat shape, ie; two sides that are wider than the other four.
These crystals are also commonly known as “Tabby.”
Her journals confirm the general belief that this formation is an excellent transmitter of thought energy and contain information relating to our planet.
The crystal also displays an unusual timeline to the future and large areas of self-healing.
Self-healed crystals were broken off of their original matrix.
This occurs with the movements and shifts in the Earth, environment, pressure, and other nearby forming crystals.
In addition, it bears a five-sided face that is called an Isis Plane.
An Isis crystal is strongly in tune with feminine energy and amplifies it.
Be it male or female, it is an aid in contacting one's 'female' or unselfish side.
Isis crystals channel the power of the Goddess.
For men, an Isis crystal will help one act in tune with one's feminine side and become aware of feminine aspects that men find troubling.
For women, the Isis crystal will regain some of the power and energy that society has taken from you.
It is a rock quartz crystal with veiled inclusions, feint, and hidden Record Keepers,
Which are triangular etchings on one of the faces along with some raised ones that do not conform to the norm.
Although record keepers are usually small, slightly raised, or indented triangular shapes found on quartz crystal faces.
They are usually in alignment with the crystal's point.
Sometimes though they appear sideways or upside down and are the called Trigonic record keepers.
The record keepers can be found by shining a light on the faces of the crystal and moving it around slowly until they appear.
It is believed that record keepers will appear out of nowhere and move around, in and on the crystal formation.
The crystal also displays Striations.
These are often called elestial etching barcodes which are the parallel raised ridges on the body of the crystal.
This one measures approximately 3 3/4" x 2 9/16" x 1 3/8", and weighs 8.05 oz.
Brazilian Shaman's Self-Healed Faden Lined Starbrary Tabular Twin Generator Energy Rainbow Crystal
Main Healing Altar Find.
The Crystal:
Her journals and inventory tell us this, 3 1/16" x 1 5/8" x 1 1/8", 94.1 gram formation cluster formation
Was obtained during her 1962 Brazilian Shaman artifact hunt.
Our examination of this crystal concluded it is as she describes, a "Self-Healed Faden Lined Starbrary Tabular Twin Generator Energy Rainbow Crystal"
A Tabular Merlin is a rare natural crystal formation. Finding such a configuration in natural crystal formation is unusual, to say the least.
It is also a Faden Lined, phantom crystal with excellent clarity through approximately 60% of its formation
With distinct milky feather line which are clearly visible within its interior structure.
Faden lines manifest primarily in tabular crystals and this one is no exception.
It is believed these lines represent the seed point of growth and they have the ability to activate or start new growth within one's self
Or within someone you are working with, utilizing healing energy.
Further examination reveals hidden Record Keepers, areas of self-healing, rainbow (aurora borealis) inclusions
An inner child with others that were forming.
This area also displays an abundance of heat-sensitive Aurora Borealis or Rainbow inclusions.
These inclusions are caused by refracted light and the prismatic effect of a crack or inclusion, are often temperature-sensitive.
Gazing within the crystal, which views with excellent clarity, we find a forest of faden lines and a disappearing phantoms.
The phantoms present as ghost-like inclusions which display the former state of growth of the crystal.
Phantoms are rare and add collectability and value to a crystal.
Each twin has smaller crystals that penetrate into its body making this a Bridge, Inner Child, or Penetrator crystal.
These crystals work in advanced metaphysical areas when knowledge needs to be shared with others seeking a spiritual path.
It is an ultimate spiritual teacher's crystal.
Narmada River Shiva Lingam
Minor Shiva Altar Find.
Found and recovered from what she had named "The Minor Shiva Altar."
This was a designated area approximately 10' x 10' located in the center of the main atrium porch.
This altar was dominated by a 5 1/2' tall, tan cement statue of Shiva with the "arms of His Avatars exposed"
As it was aptly described in her journaled inventory.
Baselit, the lighting cast an eerie effect on this statue.
Before Shiva sat a black agate slab that contained three rows of Lingam, that were set, six, five, and one in three rows,
The single stone centered, the other rows in a semi-circle around it.
It is unfortunate that this statue and its yoni table were among the first of the artifacts we sold
As documents later found tell of "instructional markings" on the statue and yoni. We were clueless at the time.
Oddly enough, the lingam, although not displayed with the Shiva or Yoni, were not sold with either,
And two separate individuals bought some of them, effectively breaking the set forever.
What are described as continuous line drawings that would be made on the stand connecting the lingams
That would be done in the manner of traditional Vèvé, Kolam, and Sigils by pouring a powder offering such as
Flour, bark, cornmeal, red brick powder, gunpowder, bloodroot, human, animal ash or blood, specific sands, or a crushed shell they favored.
Often this material would be mixed and used with other talismans for a specific individual rite to be used in their religious practices.
This was a common thread between practices at many of the altar locations in this estate.
Some of the entries she made in her journals pertaining to the worship of Shiva and this altar read;
"This is the second shrine we have erected to the third member of the Hindu Trinity
In order to pay homage and reverence to He who is the Consort of Uma, Gauri, and Parvati.
The Bestower of Eternal bliss, knowledge, and Immortality."
Her journals tell us it was dedicated in 1954 and that it was a place where they (she and her practitioners), "would attain Siva-Tattva."
"Chanting Siva Mantras and Stotras we gather to pay reverence to the Lord of all deities who bestows upon us his grace instilling in us, through His invocations, power, and bravery."
"It is here the family man receives comforts and prosperity in his family life, the unmarried young women their early love,
The old and infirm healing and good health, those under threat, fearlessness, and for most of us spiritual fulfillment of high order.
All who worship Lord Shiva receive fulfillment of their respective wishes.
Lord Shiva is ever eager to bestow blessings upon all who are devout and just to say His name is to experience a feeling of joy and well-being."
"Here we celebrate Mahaashivaraatri. A special day of worship. It is on this night the first Shivaling originated. It is this night that Lord Shiva married the Goddess Parvati.
All should pay reverence during this festival of joy as He is pleased by the smallest of offerings taking delight in His worship according to prescribed scripture."
"Every 13th day of both fortnights of the lunar month is a special day of worship as are Mondays.
On these days one may come to this altar and find sugar, yogurt, ghee, candy, Holy Water, rum, milk, incense, and fruit for offering."
Her practices and those of her practitioner followers encompassed a diverse, multicultural format and symbolism
That she claims originated in Africa over 100,000 years ago that is the basis of all successive religious belief.
The Lingam:
Twelve of these stones, attributed as "Narmada River Siva Lingam in Ghee" were found in places of obvious reverence on this altar, which represent the twelve Jyotirlingas."
According to her journaled inventory, this is one of those twelve Narmada River Shiva Lingam that were designated for use on this altar in 1954.
Ninety six of these stones were inventoried as being acquired by the 1888 LiDiex from the Narmada River in India over a four decade period.
Named as "Narmada Siva Lingams in Ghee" they were recovered from many areas of this estate.
Well inventoried, their individual vibrations dictated where they would be placed and how they would be used. Some were even found in the gardens!
The acquisition of these stones is entered in a dated inventory of February of 1951 where she makes note of receiving a group of stones to be used at her altars.
"Hand-picked by my charge from a secret river gorge that opens to him to give forth its treasure to us".
This lingam was dedicated for their use at this "Minor Shrine to Shiva" in 1954.
There are numerous journal entries noting of this LiDiex's travels to the Narmada river "in search of the stones with my calling" as he writes in one entry.
A common thread in these entries relates of his being possessed by Lord Shiva who would cause him to be,
"Plunged beneath the river's surface into a world of chilling underwater darkness.
But Lord Shiva has not the intention of my drowning, but my awakening as He leads me to a small cave outcropping just beneath the bank of the river."
This "outcropping" described was visited a total of five times by this LiDiex and it is here that most of these stones are alleged to have been recovered.
He also notes of this as being "a secret cave that is hidden by the tide of the river's flow."
In another entry, he writes, "These are stones of reverence whose energy connects heaven and earth.
This is an energy with no end or beginning with a heavenly (upward) direction.
It is the vertical axis which both holds apart yet joins heaven and earth, dividing then uniting them at the same time.
It is symbolic of cosmic integrity, much in the order of the Tree of Life, being both the foundation and support ensuring balance between heaven and earth."
He leaves an instructional message describing their proper placement and procedure,
"Display the stone on your main altar. Dress appropriately and wear no shoes as a show of respect.
Pay homage by gently touching the stone in a circular motion with both hands.
In reverence touch your third eye or heart Chakra while bowing forward in gesture of prayer.
Place gifts of flowers, foodstuff, candles, and clothing at the base of the Lingam. These offerings then must be given to the needy.
This is a powerful sacrament that I am obliged to pass on to you."
There is much more information concerning the Shiva Linga that is written and available today than there was back then in this country.
Today, a simple internet search reveals the Narmada River to be one of the seven sacred holy places of pilgrimage in India.
It is considered to be very sacred by the Hindus and apparently she and her associates were in agreement
As she herself claims to have bathed in it nine times during her lifetime and it is attributed as being one of the reasons for all of their good health and longevity.
These Lingams, which appear to be agate or jasper eggs are crypto crystalline chalcedony
That she claims were sent to us by the way of a meteorite that fell to Earth several million years ago.
Their journals make numerous entries concerning these stones, their vibrations, shape, color, and markings all having significance in their power and use.
One of these entries reads, "an energy that exudes with knowledge and wisdom which works well with breath and fluids of the body."
The Narmada River is considered to be one of the most powerful healing rivers in the world and she claims
"The water has placed powerful healing, regenerative energy into the Shiva Lingams."
These stones are sacred in both Hindu and Buddhist beliefs and were once gathered one sacred day a year
From an area near the source of the Narmada River about 300 miles north of Mumbai.
Of the stones gathered, the most beautiful are polished into this traditional egg shape by the action of the river
Then given a final hand polish using dung, mud, honey, and Ghee (clarified butter).
According to Vedic text, Narmada sivlings illustrate harmony through duality.
In these sivlings are the energy of divine acceptance of what is.
They represent power, creation, and the physical plane or grounding of those who accompany these sacred stones.
Some of her other entries read,
"This is a karmic stone with intense power of light and dark that shows no preference for either
And will respond to the calling forth by multiplying these in return to the user in thought, intent, and ability,
But it too seeks a source of power so take heed in intent as it's use has unintentionally drained the life of the living to fulfill a spell."
Although some of the stones were "boudoir" and "Menstrual Altar" found and used as sexual or phallic devices, she notes,
"Shiva is creation, destruction, and regeneration which the lingam represent, granting heightened consciousness, power, and the ability to travel along planes of power.
Do not see this as a sexual phallus only as this is at its basest form."
"It's sexual symbolism, like sex in general, is an obsession of the Christian mind.
Those following the Tantric path seem to be unable to move beyond this symbolism to its spiritual practice,
Remaining instead at a superficial level while the energy of the cosmos remains elusive to them."
"It is a high symbol of worship on this plane that brings mystical union of the conscious and unconscious."
"Sacred stone of the heart chakra that manifests love energy, harmony and balance of the soul in tune with the universe.
They activate the Kundalini and stimulate an intense energy through the body that awakens all centers along the path to the crown chakra."
Once again, there is now much more information available concerning the Narmada River and the stones that are taken from it.
Far too much to put into this already lengthy text, but it is fascinating reading concerning Hindu and Buddhist mysticism
That we wholeheartedly recommend one to continue to research and experiment on their own.
The Narmada River:
Another common thread in their journals concerns a group they name as "Rosicross" being responsible for the hiding and/or destruction of Native American Holy sites.
Other entries however tell of such world wide cultural sites that have been pillaged, used in a sacrilegious manner, hidden and/or destroyed throughout history by the Rosicross.
The modern-day construction of large dams on the River Narmada in central India and its impact on millions of people living in the river valley
Has become one of the most important social issues in contemporary India.
This LiDiex penned an entry that goes on for sixteen pages with drawings that will most likely be published on its own,
But we thought you might like a glimpse now so some selected entries are included here;
“Awash in color, the predominant color is tan. This originates from the river basin.
The remainder of the stone, with its red-brown coloration, is made of meteorite properties.
Symbolically, the tan coloration symbolizes the male qualities, the reddish brown color, the wisdom of the Femini” (his spelling).
“This overall structure is element to Shiva containing his vibrational energy which is the highest vibration I have recorded in over two thousand mineral specimen.”
“There will come a day when India is governed by the powers of the Rosicross.
This will mark three to four years to the Revelation and will be noted by the deaths of the devout, killed by the damming of the river.
The harvest of the stones will have been intentionally hampered but the stones will be recognized as national treasures.”
The Minor Shiva Altar Narmada River Shiva Lingam:
They offer a balanced energy source", writes this LiDiex.
This Narmada River Shiva Lingam was used as an item of revered worship.
She describes; "they are to be caressed and revered with offerings made to the Lord Shiva."
Its use is also described as "being revered as the Shiva in the form of Shiva linga. The Auspicious One who cleanses us all by the very utterance of His name."
There are many other entries concerning their use of these stones.
In addition to being used in a manner of reverence through food offerings,
They would also be used as phallic devices in a manner where the stone would caressed and stroked,
In order to "arouse the sexual desire of Shiva" which it is said culminated in, "sexual fulfillment of Shiva through our own flesh."
Some other entries read; "Here is Shiva's cosmic column of fire the center of reverence and worship at this shrine. It is his manifestation carved in stone.
It is his visible symbol here on earth that embodies the creative and destructive power of the Lord which resides in all aspects of the planes we may travel."
"Shiva is arupa so he took the form of Shiva lingam out of mercy to bless us."
"This is an embodiment of Shiva's energy which all find to be soothing and healing to the mind and body.
This energy aids in relaxing meditations to promote psychic dreams and extend perceptions beyond the physical senses."
"We have steeped these in ancient Hindu magic that has produced a continuous cyclical flow that is affected by the solar and lunar bodies that occur yearly."
When found, each of these stones was in "a revered position", ie; standing vertically in "yoni" that were carved into the agate slab in front of the Shiva as described above.
This Lingam measures approximately 7" in length x 2 5/8" in diameter and weighing 1 lb., 14 oz.
It should also be noted that these Lingam are naturally formed stones that have a top and a bottom.
The top being the end of the stone that "met the river's current" being slightly smaller than the bottom.
It is said they are meant to be displayed with this smaller end up.
Now here's the onion. In many cases, we have found the weight of these stones has varied between handling and handler depending on who handled and weighed them.
They never varied for that individual, but for another would weigh differently, but consistent to them.
They say, "The lighter the stone the better" in reference to their own documentation of this phenomenon, indicating that
"One should have guardianship when the burden is easy for them and hard for others."
Our experience with these stones, which has been corroborated by a number of people who have handled them
Has shown them to have the feeling of pulsation when being held and/or of a lingering tingling sensation felt after they were put down.
There have also been reports of levitation and movement on their own.
Our listing editor, when holding some of the large ones in her lap had uncontrollable leg vibrations.
"Not uncomfortable, but very strange" according to her report.
Our own Uncle Waddy experimented with some of these stones by freezing them to use for his muscle aches from exercise.
Uncle Waddy writes, "Understand that Lingams are in a constant state of vibration.
They absorb and retain hot and cold temperatures while having healing properties that draw out negative energy from the body.
I placed one in the freezer for a few hours with this in mind.
When I removed it, a thin layer of ice had formed on its surface.
I had just finished a workout with a 90-pound weight vest which had aggravated an old injury to my right shoulder.
Laying down, I placed the frozen linga on the damaged shoulder.
The ice quickly melted and the water absorbed into my skin while the Linga remained cold for an hour and 16 minutes.
The relief this brought to this old injury made me realize that this was an extraordinary tool for my own use and for assisting others.
Pressing the rounded ends on a series of acupressure points seemed to open physical and emotional blockages.
There have been quite a few non-scientific experiments which demonstrate that these Linga,
With their vibrational qualities, spiritual nature and ancient powers are a useful tool that offers a spiritual connection in healing.
As a cautionary measure, I suggest you wrap your linga in a fine cloth before applying a frozen one to flesh in case of sensitivity."
I continue to use mine and am pleased with the immediate stress, muscle, and joint relief it affords."
This is not meant to make spurious claims as you may well feel the lingam pulsing in your own hands as it brings your energies into vibrational alignment with the rest of the planet.
Many believe that as the Earth shifts its vibrational frequencies and energies, throwing man's soul into chaos and confusion, balance is more important than ever.
The lingam can help provide that balance.
Fossilized Shark's Tooth, Multi-Gem Amulet Bali Sterling Silver, Thai Trade Ruby, and Black Howlite Mala Necklace
A LiDiex Shrine Find.
We recovered this fossilized shark's tooth amulet mala necklace from a small shrine reliquary box on an altar in this room.
It is one of twenty-six companion pieces made for those who frequented, "The LiDiex Chapel Room."
Her journaled inventory tells us they were assembled in the spring of 1973.
It was then that the group of eleven Theravada Buddhist Monks sailed here aboard the Agwe at the invitation of the 1888 LiDiex.
They left for home in mid-July. It is obvious their hostess and host went out of their way to make their guests feel welcome.
These eleven monks, along with their hosts and other residents of this estate,
Provided thirty-seven predominantly Buddhist depictions in addition to these amulets,
Which they 'dressed and blessed' in a mass incantation ritual blessing they held in the Main Ballroom of this estate.
They were also responsible for assembling the twenty-six, fifty-four count, amulet mala necklaces, similar to this one for use with these amulets.
The Monk's Contributions:
Their journals and inventory tell us the enameled coin silver case, phra yant,
And numerous blessings were the contributions brought to the table by their guests for the creation of this amulet mala.
According to their journals, the case contained an antique Phra Ngang which had been brought as a gift by the visiting monks
Which they vacated for the shark's tooth, skulls, and gems.
They also brought their talents as sorcerer monks
And are responsible for the marriage of these components and their mass blessings.
The Case:
Although their description of 'coin silver' would lead one to believe the metal would be .800 Silver Standard or better. It is not.
Many of the Thai coin silver amulets contain no silver at all, having been made from alloyed metal coinage
With imagery said to contain magic, such as Buddha, Garuda, King Rama, etc. This one does not test positive for any silver content.
The case has been wired closed with sterling silver wire.
It measures approximately 3 3/8" (with bale) x 1 3/4" x 15/16" and is unmarked, with no maker's or assay marks.
The monks were also responsible for the black ink phra yant unalome yants as part of this shark tooth's dressing.
The Unalome:
The unalome is an important symbol and word that is still shrouded in mystery.
Our own research lead us to quite a few interpretations of what many people felt what it was, and/or what it meant.
Most coming from well-meaning, we're sure, tattoo artists!
Basically, it is a Theravada Buddhist Sak-Yant, usually found as a tattoo that is considered to be very spiritual.
Its meaning and source are still a mystery and nothing is from a credible source.
It is a spiritual symbol used in practice by the Theravada Buddhists along the path to enlightenment.
In form, its bottom spiral represents life's struggles, these struggles get thinner as one continues and attains enlightenment or nirvana.
It is often found as a tattoo and isn’t confined to just one meaning and symbol. It has varied patterns and each pattern has a different meaning.
Sometimes it represents the moon, the light that shines in the darkness along the path of enlightenment. It also represents strength and resilience.
Some of her journal entries relating to this yant read;
"The magic yant, the unalome, see it well. It is Aum, in the design of sacred geometry.
Casting chanted spell magic is recited mantra that begins and ends with it."
"See it well, it is not the only element necessary for magic power.
Contained within are sacred geometry that cast the spell in the 'Bpug Sek Kata'.
It is essential to activate this magic power within the Yant.
By entering Samadhi and visualizing what should be active in the Yant."
“It is one of the nine Gao Yord, that permits entrance into the lineage of masters.”
“Here is representation of the crown of the Arahant's”.
Yant Magic:
The presence of these marks makes this shark's tooth, "Yant Yun."
Our own research has shown that all Yant fall into the amulet category known as Kruang Reang i.e. Objects of Magic.
These are sacred images of high age from past guru masters that are highly collectible and can command a high price on today’s market.
The symbolism they display are usually seen as tattoos known as Sak Yant, of the Khmer Sorcerer Monks,
Muay Tai fighters, mixed martial artists, and some celebrities today.
When this intricate script is written on cloth it is known as 'Pha Yant'.
It is also etched on the soft metals used in Takrut's and on many Thai amulets.
The word Yant itself comes from the old Sanskrit meaning, 'A sacred geometrical design',
And is usually accompanied with a written Khom script or set of characters which are linked to the prayer or katha.
The script is a combination of Khom, Thai, and the Sanskrit language, which is a style of early Khmer wicha magic
That has been adopted by Buddhist monks and Ajarns (civilian Brahmins) of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia.
In its form as a tattoo, (Sak Yant) it is much more than a fashion statement.
It is intrinsically linked to Buddha, Buddhist precepts, and the guru master who created it.
The worshipper must truly believe and follow any instructions,
As it is said the embedded wicha power may vanish if the are not followed.
Each design is unique in meaning and purpose as crafted by its maker,
But follows a common theme such as bringing good luck and fortune, protection from harm and accidents,
Warding off evil spirits, love, and attraction, power and success, great fighter, great lover, great talker, etc.
In any of its forms, the sorcerer monk will chant his own form of incantation spell and ancient katha chant,
At some point during the end of the process of making the yant, which concludes with Pao Katha,
A blowing of the masters breath across the article to bind and activate the magical formula.
The Estate Contributions:
The balance of the items used to complete this amulet mala necklace consisting of the shark's tooth,
Bali sterling silver bell, enhydro crystal, human bone, and black howlite skulls,
The ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, and zircon gems in the case,
Along with the Bali sterling silver, black howlite skulls, Thai trade ruby beads, and dyed red yak sinew
That complete this fifty-four-count mala necklace were brought to the party by the hosts.
The Key West Rootman's Fossilized Shark's Tooth:
Shark's teeth have an extensive folklore that spans centuries.
They have been used and worn as protection and good luck talisman in cultures wherever sharks are found.
She held similar beliefs and practices which encompassed an array of bizarre and fear-provoking activities
That culminated in things that can never be rationally explained.
Her journals and inventory tell us this fossilized tooth is one of many she obtained from,
"A Key West Root Man" she first mentions in 1936.
According to her journal entries, these were used to, "protect the bearer from harm."
It is obvious that their guests had their way with them in adorning them with Phra Yant symbols.
Apparently, they found favor with these teeth as each of them are said
To have been thrilled with receiving a few of these to take home with them.
This one measures approximately 1 13/6" x 1 1/8"
Her journals go on to tell us, "These prehistoric teeth have water element energy
That is a natural link to our predatory instincts and abilities.
They are protective against malicious and evil spirits as they cannot abide their presence.
Hence we always wear and carry them at sea,"
Our research revealed this one to be a fossilized Mackerel Shark's tooth.
The Sterling Silver:
More often than not, their metal of choice was silver as she notes,
"Silver is the mirror of the soul related to the moon energies.
It strengthens connections of the astral and physical bodies.
A metal unmatched in its psychic energies and healing abilities,
I have used it as a spell medium, to heal the speech impaired and to help public speakers achieve eloquence.
Induced into the drink, it has expelled the toxins that caused headaches, arthritis, intestinal and blood disorders.
More importantly, it attracts, enhances, and stores energies of gemstones, driving out negative energies the stone may have absorbed."
Their journals and her inventory tell us all of the silver used in this ensemble is 'Sanur Pandai Sudra Sterling Silver'
Which is described in detail below.
Spirit Bell:
Her journals tell us this is a sterling silver spirit bell that resides in this amulet.
She also tells us she "subjected the bell to spells rendering it for spirit sensitivity."
She makes numerous entries that make claim to bells ringing in the presence of spirits
While she was in the proximity, especially those she had spelled and was wearing while "ringing the bell to bind the spell"
When she would cast an impromptu spell while out and about, and of it being, "spell cast to determine the truth."
Some of these entries read, "An answer given to a question asked the bell ringing will determine the truth.”
"This is a secret spell rendering of metal that is an ancient truth, bells will ring on the passing into the spirit world,
In the presence of spirits, and their peal is a protective ward that will seal a spell cast or break a spell cast upon you."
"The Church bells are blessed as a sacramental which endows their pealing with the power to perform minor exorcism
In that it repels demonic presence. You will note that many church bells are rung three times a day to accompany the recitation of the Angelus prayer."
"Do not let the diminutive size of this charm cause you to treat it as a novelty.
It contains a powerful enchantment that is invoked in the presence of the dead, spirit, demons, and the energy of what some deem to be magic."
The bell measures approximately 1/2" in height.
Vapor Valley, Enhydro, Timeline Crystal:
It is one of the many crystal specimen that are alleged to have been obtained by the 1888 LiDiex.
Their journals indicate the use of these crystal formations for past-life dream recall and spell invocation.
This crystal is sub-categorized as "Ix Che Scry", in her journaled inventory noting,
"He has managed to invoke her as a tool to aid in retribution spells", claiming it to be "a left-hand crystal"
Used to focus their spells along a specific, mathematically calculated path.
They would use it to "align crystal at altar" and for "short distance burst", claiming,
"It can send an accurate charge for nearly one thousand feet when left hand held alone."
In another entry, she describes its long-range use when the target is not in line of sight,
"Visualization here is the key, but once manifested it will easily focus on and procure the target bridging all borders that separate the planes".
They have made entries dating to 1985 that are attributed in her own words;
"This is a mathematically planned formation that has been charged to open the inner gateways that allow intuitive answers forgoing ego.
It is a crystal of clarity that will direct you when left-hand work becomes problematical.
It is a white light manifestation tower that lights the meditative path that leads us to dream clarity and the manifestation of thought.
It is a sacred crystal containing universal knowledge.
Attune yourself to its vibrations and this knowledge will spew forth along a stream of pure white molecular energy.
This is ancient and profound secret knowledge that requires a pure heart and strong belief to access."
This crystal produces a high vibrational energy that mortals may access to clear, heal,
and perfect our emotional bodies while allowing access to past knowledge.
A bridge to our past lives which allows communication with the spirit guides.
It is best used by advanced metaphysical practitioners sharing and teaching those seeking the spiritual path."
A timeline to the past plane is visible as are some Aurora Borealis or Rainbow Enhydro,
Phantom & Faden Line inclusions along with Self Healing & some Elestial Etching along some of the planes.
It is a complicated formation with a lot going on that measures approximately 1 1/8" x 1"
Nawab's Bone Skulls:
Her journaled inventory goes on to tell us the seven skull beads used in this amulet are, “Nawab's bone"
And are part of a lot of human bone artifacts brought to the estate by the Ayurvedic Kundalini Yogi.
Black Dyed Howlite Skull:
There is a single black dyed howlite skull bead upon which the shark's tooth is perched
And is further described below in the necklace components paragraph below.
Thai Trade Ruby Gem:
Her journals and inventory tell us there is a 0.84 ct. ruby faceted oval gem
Which was cut from one of the many specimen she bought from a Northern Thailand vendor in 1959.
This foray into Thailand was to research and study the regional occult and necromantic practices of the region.
We estimate the value of this cabochon at $285.00 USD.
The Sapphire Gems:
Her inventory tells us there are four types of sapphire gems and cabochons used in this amulet.
All were given to her by the same Ayurvedic Kundalini Yogi' described above.
Their journals and inventory reveal to us the source and detailed descriptions
Of the sapphire gemstones that they chose to make part of this cased amulet.
They list the sapphires as follows;
Three faceted oval bi-color faceted oval gems; 4.08 tcw.
A single 0.86 ct., green sapphire faceted oval gem.
Three faceted oval blue sapphire gems 1.65 tcw.
Ten multi-color sapphire cabochons 2 to 4 mm in length, 0.82 tcw.
Three dark blue sapphire round cabochons, 3.42 tcw.
There are 10.83 tcw of assorted sapphire gems
And cabochons in this amulet with an estimated value of $630 USD
Green Tourmaline Gems:
Her journals and inventory also tell us there are three faceted oval green tourmaline gems in this amulet,
Consisting of a 1.51, 1.22 and 0.85 stones, 3.58 tcw which were cut from specimen recovered during her 1962 Brazilian Shaman artifact hunt.
She goes on to tells us she had these gems cut for her in 1965, by the New York gem cutter, practitioner, and follower she names as, "Jew George."
George had been introduced to her by her long time friend Maya Deren in the 1950's
And was responsible for many of the gemstones used in their jewelry and found as loose stones.
She does write of this source of tourmaline as having specific metaphysical and healing properties
And she claims to have induced the gems with spells or, "charged" them as she called it.
Two such journal entries read, "a stone of tolerance, its energy promotes happiness, serenity, and compassion.
A channeling stone, it offers a high degree of protection in diminutive sizes. A stimulant to the heart chakra, well suited to love spells.
An embodiment of the Holy Femini (her spelling) that fosters beauty, fidelity, compassion, happiness, family, luck and love"
We estimate the value for these dark green tourmaline gems is $75/carat x 3.58 cts= $268.50
Blue Zircon Gem:
She goes on to tell us that this 0.79 ct., faceted oval electric blue zircon gem
Had reclaimed from a ring she had stolen from the dead body of a stranger during their wake ceremony!
We estimate the value of this gem at $95 ct. x 0.85 ct.= $80.75 USD
Bali Sterling Silver, Thai Trade Ruby, and Black Howlite Skull:
We recovered hundreds of these mala necklaces which were made to accommodate their amulets.
They appear to have originated during the estate stay of this group of monks and their designs,
Were quickly incorporated into the beading sessions that regularly took place here.
We were able to identify and establish a timeline using their journals and inventory entries.
The last session producing these necklaces was on April 16th., 1981.
This is one of the few, fully assembled amulet mala necklaces original to the estate that we have left,
Mostly due to our own Uncle Waddy secreting them in his collection.
The original cases were instrumental in having new reproductions made in Thailand over fifteen years ago,
And pairing up newly cased amulets with the necklaces from this estate.
Her journaled inventory goes on to tell us this fifty-four-count single amulet mala necklace is part of a group that were worn by the LiDiex.
Examination reveals a Bali Sterling Silver, Thai Trade Ruby, and black howlite skull bead,
Fifty-four count mala necklace made to support a single amulet, as the title implies.
Sanur Pandai Sudra Sterling Silver:
The LiDiex journals tell of their dealings with a family of, “Sanur Pandai Sudra” over a four year period of 1957 through 1961.
Some of these entries read, “a family of traditional Balinese smiths and sorcerers, descended from a long line of craftsman sorcerers of Sanur.
They are in possession of authentic, ancient Hindu lontars, (Holy inscriptions written on the leaves of the lontar palm) that tell of the mythical history of their arts.”
“They are known locally as pande mas, trained by the Gods."
“Although they are low caste sudra, they are sought out for their work in silver, gold, and sorcery.
They claim to be direct descendants of Brahma.”
The word 'pandai' means both 'smith' and 'clever'.
Their journal and inventory entries attribute the spirit bell (in the amulet and described above).
The wire and twenty-seven assorted hooks, rings beads, and bead caps they chose
For this mala necklace as being obtained from these, "Sanur Pandai Sudra.”
Unmarked, all test as .925 Sterling Silver Standard.
Thai Trade Ruby Beads:
Her journals and inventory also tell us the seven, 8 mm, and pair of 11 mm,
faceted round ruby beads used in this necklace were cut from some of the many specimen
She bought from a Northern Thailand vendor in 1959 as described in detail above.
The beads are of fine grind and polish.
Black Dyed Howlite Skulls:
Her journaled inventory also tells us, the fifty-four dyed howlite skull beads used in this mala necklace (and the one in the amulet)
Are part of a group that were cut from stone she obtained as trade goods in Southern California in 1956.
Years later, after having these, "cut and charged" as she calls exposing them to one of their vat dyes,
Which in the case of these stones effectively dyed them to their current deep black color.
Unfortunately, this section of her journal ledger is all but destroyed from water intrusion
And what she tells us about this treatment is lost to the ages.
What we can decipher from these entries, was the dyes used on these stones
Was staff-manufactured using estate-grown material.
This treatment did certainly enhance the color of these stones.
The skulls are of fine grind and polish and measure approximately 12.7 x 11.1125 x 11.1125 mm.
The Ensemble:
All of these have been hand-knotted and strung together with dyed red yak sinew to form this fifty-four count,
Single amulet mala necklace measuring approximately 36" in overall length with a 20" drop.
She writes of the acquisition of a large quantity of this sinew from a "Chinese healer and talisman maker known for and sought for his works,"
Purchased at the Namche Bazaar of Nepal in 1928.
This amulet, mala ensemble also bears the distinction of having been part of Uncle Waddy's personal collection.
This shark tooth amulet, case, and fifty-four count mala necklace are original to this estate.
This amulet ensemble will come to you mounted and blessed by at least one senior monk
Of Wat Buddharangsai who thanks you for the homage paid to Theravada Buddhism.
Sterling Silver and Nuummite Alex Begay Ring
A Master Suite Find.
This ring is one of the artifacts her journals and inventory attribute as her personal property.
A gift for her birthday, received in the mail with no return address and a Mesa, Arizona postmark,
If she ever determined who sent it she never made note of it prior to her passing later that same year.
It is one of the rings recovered from a jewelry armoire in her master suite
That contained a well inventoried selection of ritually worn jewelry, which indicated she did find favor and use of this ring.
Examination reveals a well made sterling silver ring with a nuummite oval cabochon by a recognized Native American maker.
From the extensive notes left by this woman there is no doubt she wore this ring
And as such that it accompanied her during some of the rituals conducted at this estate.
The high oval nuummite cabochon measures approximately 1" x 3/4"
And displays the high polish and what is referred to asexsolution lamellae that give this stone its typical iridescence.
Nuummite is usually black in colour and opaque.
It consists of two amphiboles, gedrite and anthophyllite, which form exsolution lamellae that give the rock its typical iridescence.
Other common minerals in the rock are pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, which form shimmering yellow bands in polished specimens.
In Greenland the rock was formed by two consecutive metamorphic overprints of an originally igneous rock.
The intrusion took place in the Archean around 2800 million years ago and the metamorphic overprint was dated at 2700 and 2500 million years ago.
Some of her ledger entries concerning this ring read;
"This is a stone drawn to the practitioner of magical arts.
It emits an ancient water energy found deep within the earth with storm elements.
It is a stone of personal magic, healing and luck."
"Well grounded, this is an excellent dream ring well attuned to the elemental forces of the earth that allows one access in times of need."
"The stone contains elemental magic.
Take this seriously, show right intent and respect with no intent of harm, as it will be reflected back upon you.
Do this, and its auric shield will protect against negative energy."
"Wearing the ring will ward against curses from present and, past-life."Gemstones & Crystals 1/2
