Turquoise - One more note....

[Guest guest]

Friends,

 

I wanted to mention that one of the number of very sad and unkind

ways that they dye Howlite to mimic the colors of Turquoise is by

soaking these stone spirits in buckets of Tidy Bowl - yes, the very

same highly toxic cleaning product used to clean toilets. The Howlite

will absorb the blue color fairly easily and, to those that use this

method, the results look close enough to Turquoise to offer the

Howlite as such.

 

Needless to say, from a spiritual perspective, particularly if we

understand that stones are spirits and not things, this is true

abuse. Further, at an energetic level, I can't imagine the energy of

Tidy Bowl is too, well, " tidy " .

 

This is one of many reasons why I lean so heavy on my warnings to be

careful where we adopt Turquoise. Aside from the risks of adopting

something other than what we expect, for me it's important not to

support this sort of mistreatment of stone spirits with my money.

 

In Love,

That is so sad and so cruel. The stuff you talk about is called 'Loo Blue'

here in SA, so I guess they'd use that or something similar. This substance

is quite caustic so I can only imagine how the spirits feel about this!!!

Painfull, to say the least.
