Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Maybe a chunk of apophyllite in the center? The mandala idea is great. Let me ask you something...have you found that epoxying the stones inhibits the energy at all? I want to make a wand and glue stones to it but don't know if that would create a problem. I know others do it. ===== ********************************************************* THIS SEASON, GIVE THE GIFT OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE! -->> Starry Night Astrology's Premium Astrological Reports, featuring Deluxe Color Chart and 20+ pages of accurate, organized text bound in an attractive, hand-stamped folder!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 By the way, that is an extremely beautiful and powerful picture! It really " took me away " sitting here at my desk....I can't imagine how powerful it must be in real life. ===== ********************************************************* THIS SEASON, GIVE THE GIFT OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE! -->> Starry Night Astrology's Premium Astrological Reports, featuring Deluxe Color Chart and 20+ pages of accurate, organized text bound in an attractive, hand-stamped folder!

I'll post a photo of it later today, when completed. Blue, purple and green, it's really coming along, although there's not much room for stones... As for epoxying stones, I don't believe it will diminish their power in any way. I live in Mexico and have been buying over the internet. My purchases are coming down here with a friend on the 20th, so I haven't glued any on yet. I'll let you know how it goes.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 That is really gorgeous! I just had to say that first thing! LOL! My name is Shelley, I am new to this group, but find it very informative and interesting! I've been into rocks for as long as I can remember, I dug my first rock out of the dirt when I was just 4 years old, and still have it by the way! LOL! I use it for a door stop! I love the energy I feel from the rocks and gems in my collection, I can't wait to be able to show them off again, they've been in storage for quite a while, and I can't wait to get them out again! One in particular that I've been thinking alot about is my rainbow obsidian ball. I'd never seen one before it came to me, can anyone tell me what properties it has? I've been told it can be used for scrying, but don't quite know how to get into the rock! Did that make sense? Anywho, glad to be a part of this wonderful group! Shelley - smallsal Thursday, January 03, 2002 8:14 AM [CrystalHW] New Project... Suggestions Needed I have uploaded a photo of one of a series of new projects, Mandala Energy Grids. lst Go to Sally's Folder to view photo of mandala. These are presents for friends, this is not a commercial post. On a 9 inch diameter piece of natural pine, about one inch thick, I have painted an original mandala, to which I will be epoxying six tumbled stones. The mandala can be hung on the wall for gazing or can lie on a flat surface for grid activation. Now here's the dilemma... My original idea was to include a small standing quartz point (to place in the center when lying flat) and a small selenite wand with each mandala for activiation. However, I am having trouble finding both in quantity at a good price. Any ideas on center stones and wands? I prefer to have one powerful piece in the center, as opposed to a stone that matches the other six. Any ideas? Namaste, Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 What a great mandala! Clear quartz always seems to be what I am drawn to for the focus item, especially when wanting to enhance other stones. You don't really need to have a point, though. To me, tumbled have a more gentle energy, more diffuse. When I'm working with other stones, I don't want to overpower them, so the pebble or bead seems to work for me. A good, reliable source for beads is Fire Mountain Gems found at www.firemtn.com and reasonable priced. Dr. Gay - smallsal Thursday, January 03, 2002 7:04 AM [CrystalHW] New Project...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Thanks Sally. Afraid I don't really know what I am after. I need to do some research and reading. Right now I create madalas with quartz points and use them in meditation and some Earth work. I have several but clear them and mainly have them in my healing room and living room. I like them setting around the house. Thanks I'll keep this rockshop url in a folder for future reference. There is a great place out east that you can get a catalog from and I think they even have a website now .... can't seem to find the url though. Heaven & Earth. Phone 802-476-4775 P.O. Box 249, 965 Rte 14 South, East Montplier, VT 05651. I don't know if their prices are reasonable or not I have nothing to gage them by ... I know their catalog is in color and their stones & jewelery look great and most seems reasonable. You may want to check them out, you seem to know what you are looking for and know your stones.
