Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Shain, Thanks for all the great information. I think what I will do to start is to find some lake or river rocks and tumble them to check out the tumbler. That way I won't be " wasting " the energy in the stones if the tumbler doesn't work.I have some lake rocks that have tumbled into great little gems.:-) Pat H. aka Lionaire It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. e.e.cummings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 dont discount the possibility that the lake and river stones will have as much or more healing energy or information as the fancy gems and well known " name brand " stones I don't actualy think one can " waste " the energy it may disconnect from a particular stone but its not destroyed Good luck on your tumbling Peggy > Thanks for all the great information.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 I agree with Peggy 100% on this also, but it a whole nother story when you have to pay for any rock/stone/crystal, instead of gathering it yourself for a test run. the powers of these riverrocks/or normal stones are just as powerful, if not more in some cases, than gemstones that would be more mainstream or sold at certain prices. But lapidary supplies can be very expensive when atemping to cut the stone. So ones who starts off, or starts again, goes with the Cheapest ones they can get there hands on, so not to waste money on a mainstream stones that they might riun. Becasue it really is allot of trial and error with cutting stones in any medium. And not everyone wants to spend retail amounts when just starting off in lapidary. i pesonally do take all stones into consideration before cutting. some i spend hours/days/weeks with in meditation, before attemping to cut. most will show me how they want to be cut. Thats why i personally dont like to tumble stones. becasue i work with each one indviually. just like they work with me. poeple starting off in lapidary will go with whats aviable, then worry about what they truely want to cut later. I feel from my experinces in the trade, that all must be taken into consideration. TO abuse anystone will only breed igornace and bitterness. I seen it happen to allot of vendors in this trade.. they may be willing to help, but there always a looming feeling of unhappyness. even though they may be surrounded by wonderful stones. They are generally un- happy and bitter. but i have only seen this happen in certain cases. takecare Shain , " janet " <moonfairie56> wrote: > hi > i agree with peggy some of my most special medicine stones have come > from creeks and beaches! mother doesnt make anything not needed! > dancing in rainbows > janet > > , " Rosequartz " > <rosequartz@c...> wrote: > > dont discount the possibility that the lake and river stones will > have as > > much or more healing energy or information as the fancy gems and > well > > known " name brand " stones > > I don't actualy think one can " waste " the energy it may > disconnect from a > > particular stone but its not destroyed Good luck on your tumbling > > Peggy > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
