Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi all! I have been missing awhile-I lost a dear Uncle and have been supporting my Aunt in the best way I know how and have fallen way behind on posts...so happy to see new members, and see that they have been heartily welcomed and helped as well-hello to everyone! I have been missing the group. I have been sending out a general blanket of reiki for anyone who is accepting/needing in the group hoping that it has been making it's way down to those who might need a little help. Things are looking up in my own family-my Uncle had been ill for a very ling time and I feel certain he is happy and at ease now when he had not been in this body for a very long time. I posted awhile back about some large green stones that I had found at the rental house I now reside in, and hoped to find them again under the snow, along with the huge piece of petrified wood. I am adding the pictures to my album-I placed a dollar bill on a few of them for scale, and I am hoping someone can tell me what they might consist of. They are a deeper green near the center with the edges being more translucent light green looking-some variations of color sort of reddish/orange and remind me of lepidolite scale texture. I have three, so there are several shots and some close ups. Thanks, guys, for having a look! My yard is still full of snow and huge pools of water-would still love any answer on my feng shui question about possible crystal placement in the home to help reduce water puddling in the yard. Love and light to everyone! Best wishes! Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the big brown rock that the dollar bill is resting on a huge piece of petrified wood? Blessings to your eve all.

( cant remember what its is actually called for sure has more Mica splits into leaves more easily absorbs oil and has a very shiny like powder surface on fresh splits but is still a hard stone. Another green stone one can find around here with a good resemblance is some green brechiated Jasper Serpentine is also around in a lot of places but that does not look like most of the " wild " serpentine or Jadey stones I've seen.

I have a hard enough time remembering human's names when I am introduced to them .... so scientific names came be brutal!!

I am thinking this is what you were referring to? There is a picture to go with it and is similar but not quite the same green as Brenda's photos. In looking up green quartz this is what wikipedia says there (calls it Prasiolite: _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_quartz_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_quartz) this one is gemmy and transparent not translucent to opaque. Here is a nice picture of Green Aventurine.

Brenda .... you will have to let us know what you come up with!!! Blessings to your day all. ReNau ps ... I will have to locate my piece and look more closely at it. I think I got it at an aquarium shop from the bulk rocks section and they of course don't care about accurate names for pretty rocks to toss in a tank ... lol. I will have to try taking some pictures also of the Green Quartz (?) Spheres I have, that have with phantoms all through them and post them.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yes, ReNau, it is a huge piece of petrified wood-have not even tried to move that one-I am sure it is bigger than I think it is beneath ground. Two of the pieces of green stone are more oily/slick looking and seem to have broken in a different way-the flat one has a dry texture, and even though it basically seems the same at a glance, it seems granite-like in texture where the other two are waxy, jade-like. But Peggy, I can appreciate the comment about a mica-like inclusion because this is why they had that lepidolite flake feel to me. I just love to look at them. I would love to see your pics, Peggy, if you find them.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Brenda, I am not good at looking at stones and knowing what they are - but at first glance your green stones looked a lot like some green calcite that I have.....just another thought to throw into the mix.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 ohhhh...I love another thought! Thanks, Janie! Calcite....hmmmm...when I have all the suggestions, I am going to have to take my books with all the properties of each and sit out there and just start narrowing it down, but I had not considered calcite. I do appreciate all the suggestions. I would still love them dearly if I never found out. Best wishes and blessings to you, too, Janie!
