Playing Catch Up

[Guest guest]

Greetings All!

 

Kik here. Now that I have a somewhat reliable isp, it's time to play

catch up. So, here we go.

 

First- My name is Stacy but I go by Kikuno or Kik. A practicing

ecclectic witch and goddess worshipper for about 13 years with a bent

toward Shinto (my spirituality test said I was a druid! Go figure).

I'm also a Reiki 1. My interests lie in tarot, reading for

enlightenment and learning, painting and drawing, sewing, anything

craftsy, gardening, and more recently in healing through reiki,

herbs, and crystals. I'm really looking foward to getting to know

and learn from all of you and this workshop:) I live in Vancouver,

Washington, Pacific Standard.

 

Second- The stone I would keep if I could only choose one, my

sodalite heart, Blue. I've had it for many years now. Mostly it's

sat decoratively on shelves or my altar, I've used it for a grounding

stone and in meditation, or just plane talked to it. I guess there

is some serious crystal deva in there!

 

Third- Stones I have right now are a chakra wand that I'm not exactly

sure what to do with but had to have when I saw it. An extremely

clear quartz single terminated crystal with just enough inclusions to

let you know it is real not manmade. I've used it as a generator and

such, in my bath, whatever comes to mind for it. Various smaller

stones such as lapiz, snow flake obsidian, bloodstone, blue tiger

eye, hematite (shiny!), amethyst, gypsum, selenite, and a rutilated

quartz that has silver threads in it instead of gold. I hope to find

out what it does soon. Also, various stones found in lakes and on the

ground. I always tell friends who travel to bring me back a rock!

they're easy to find and inexpensive to get.

 

Lastly- I'm oddly attracted to flourite right now. I have a small

piece. But I'm kinda ashamed to say that I covet a large rectangular

piece a friend of mine has. It calls me. It has the purple, green,

and aqua blue in it and is about an inch and a half big. She's

trying to help me find another like it. Hopefully I will soon.

 

Question- why is dioptase such a wanted stone?

 

Thanks for listening to me ramble:)

Yeah...I've come to actually prefer inclusions, and that's part of the

reason. It's also more visually interesting to me.

LOL. It's not a stone I've seen discussed many places. We're talking

about it here because I brought it up. I saw one a few months (maybe

almost a year) back that belonged to someone else, fell in love with

it, and have been hunting for one of my own ever since. I'm quite

willing to believe that it's a personal quirk, like your quest for the

right fluorite. ^_~
