Читать книгу Edgar Cayce's Sacred Stones - Shelley Kaehr - Страница 66

Chalcedony is a very powerful stone composed of quartz and moganite, which is mentioned in both the Bible and the Cayce readings. For that reason, I include the references to the quartz family here in this section.

The different varieties of chalcedony contain the same silicon dioxide form found in regular quartz crystals. For millennia, the ancient ones have used various forms of chalcedony for everything from sacred objects to talismans and good luck charms.

Because the Bible mentions chalcedony and chrysoprasus as well as other varieties, we will never know with complete certainty exactly which stones were used in biblical times.

The more and various references to the varieties of chalcedony that I see in different versions of the Bible make me know with great certainty that these stones are important and should be used and worked with for many reasons.

First, whatever variety of chalcedony you choose will be for a good reason. Whether you have a reading that prescribes a stone for you or not, you will often find yourself drawn to particular gems on a subconscious, soul level. If you are drawn to any form of chalcedony, I would imagine that would happen as a result of a past-life influence.

Ancient Rome, Italy, Medieval Europe, and Asia Minor are all past time periods that you can tap into using any of these stones.

The only other reason to be drawn to a chalcedony stone would be for physical reasons. We’ve discussed the calming properties of agate and the healing ability of bloodstone. Blue chalcedonies help with the thyroid and sleeping difficulties or the fear of public speaking. The pale blue chrysoprasus will help to heal the heart, more on the emotional than on the physical level. If you are suffering from a broken heart over a relationship, this is the stone for you!

Explore the varieties of these minerals, and you will be glad you did.
