Suleiman

Dear Lists,

 

Swee, have you ever heard of a stone called suleiman?

I bought a bead made of it and walk around with it in my pocket. It is supposed

to by some sort of a protectant. Most of the time I feel a lot better with it.

For the past few months anyway. it was a nice relief for me.

Has anyone heard of this gemstone before? The name

suggests that it maybe of Arabic/Islamic origin.

 

Love,

Swee

Namaste.

 

I got back the bead and the geologist could only say--charts being his specialty

rather

than analyzing my beads-- that he " would rule out obsidian and quartzite. " But

he does

think the basic compostion is Quartz: SiO2. He said he was getting a 7 on the

hardness

scale. This would be in the same hardness level as chalcedony, agate and chert.

 

The other thing is, I asked Vijay about it being zebra agate, which does look

very much

like this. He said no. To go on, he said a while back--I presume that this is

when he was

first looking for it-- the physician for the Dalai lama asked him to find

Suleiman, and he--

Vijay--had asked the physican too if this zebra agate was the same a Suleiman.

The

response was no. Different stone, different energy.

 

I wonder about it being chert. I have seen chert here in the Ozarks...it is also

multibanded

sometimes. But I only see two shades of grey in chert in this area.

 

I may take it down to OU and have the geologists down there play with it. it's

somethng for

the grad. students to do as a diversion from hunting for oil and gas for an

hour of two.

 

Vijay said the deposit he gets his from is in India.
