Fabeku,

 

Unfortunately not everybody possesses the ability to be as 'in tune' with

the Stone Spirits as you. This makes it a shame for those who think they

are buying, and paying the price for, 'true' Turquoise. And no doubt, many

shop owners would be less than willing to have their wares subjected to any

'scratch', 'streak' or 'chemical' tests to proof the stone!

 

I would like to believe, however, that if the person buying, and the person

selling, are truly under the belief that they are making an Honest Trade,

then the stone, within reason, will behave as closely as possible to the

real thing.

 

Howlite, in particular seems to be a particularly adaptable stone, much

like a puppy willing to please! And it doesn't wet the floor in excitement!

 

If you have been attuned to the Crystal Empowerment Attunements, then you

don't necessarily have to have the actual stone with you when you run the

Shakti! I know it feels better to have it in your hand, but when it comes

to 'Healing', it is the Intent that is important.

 

A mineral collector, on the other hand, would probably feel fully justified

in exacting 'Justice' upon the perpetrator, innocent or not.

 

For those who have asked about Turquoise changing color through use or over

time. it is a very soft stone and its chemical makeup leaves it open to

absorbing dishwater and other contaminants. It should be treated with the

greatest of respect and not cleaned (the metal findings, Etc.) with harsh

chemicals.

 

Enough! Enough!

 

Google your own research and print it out, or add it as a Favorite to

return to.

 

Remember, 'All things passeth away.'

 

Peace and Love,

Byron
