Scientific Amber
Amber is fossilized resin, from pine trees that flourished from forty- to- one hundred and twenty million years ago. Amber is often found with inclusions of insects,
moss, small anthropods, lichen, and pine needles. It has a color range from brown, gold, orange, red, yellow, with rare colors of black, blue, green and violet.
Amber is one of few specimens that can be charged with electricity. When briskly rubbed with a cloth, the Amber will attract pieces of hair or paper. This property
of Amber was known to the Greeks in the sixth century b.c.e., and is where our word for electricity is derived - then known as Electron. Amber derives its name
from Middle English ambre, from Middle French, from Medieval Latin ambra, from Arabic anbar ambergris.
Amber Sources
The Baltic Amber is found along the shores of the Baltic Sea. Burmese Amber, or, Burmite, ranging in the colors of red to brown, are mined in Hukong Valley.
These pieces of Amber have a fluorescence to them. Sicilian Amber, or, Simetite, is found in the mouth of the Simento River, Sicily, and is normally found in dark
reddish tones. The Rumanian Amber, or, Ruminite, comes in even darker shade of reds.
Amber In History
Amber is one of the first stones to be used by early humans, finding remains of jewelry, amulets and decorations with the Asia, African and European cultures. The
Amber with inclusions of insects and leaves were the highest in value.
In Homer's "Odyssey, Eurymachus was given an Amber bead necklace. Greeks knew of Baltic Sea to be the Amber Sea. Latin scribes of the first century c.e.
mention Amber's popularity.
The Romans called Amber 'succinum,' or, 'sap stone.' "Lyncurius," or "lynx stone," is an ancient Amber name that arose from the belief that the Amber stone was
made of solidified lynx urine. This is related to the Chinese tradition that Amber was made from tiger souls, entering the earth when that
animal died.
Amber in Lore
The Norse culture believed Amber was the goddess's Freyja's tears that fell into the sea. Greeks believed that Amber were the petrified tears of the Helaides when
they cried over their brother, Phaethon, at his death. Sophocles believed Amber was the tears of certain Indian birds, crying at the death of Meleager.
Amber has been used as a symbol for renewal of marriage vows, and to assure promises of endearing and enduring love.
It is also a talisman for warriors, bringing good luck.
Medicinal Amber Lore
It has been stated that Amber used as an elixir, or carried or worn, will heal goiter, bladder/kidney disorders, depression, toothache, poisoning, malaria, asthma, and
hay fever.
Pliny wrote that the Amber was good for tonsillitis and other throat maladies.
Powdered Amber was prescribed to be given in wine to prevent hysteria, fever, croup, asthma and hey fever.
Also, finally powdered Amber was mixed with rose oil and honey and put into the ears as a cure for infections and earaches.
Roman physicians prescribed a mixture of Amber and honey taken internally, would cure poor eyesight.
Prescribed well into the 1700's, physicians used Amber to cure head colds, heart disease, jaundice, arthritis, dysentery, fits and as
a preventative of the plague. ? (oh sure!)
Amber In Magick Lore
Still holding true in many European cultures, the Amber is stated to protect against evil sorcery and to counteract poisons.

About Gypsum:
Gypsum, CaSO4.2H2O (Hydrous Calcium Sulfate), is the commonest sulfate mineral. It is a major rock forming mineral that produces beds, usually from
precipitation out of highly saline waters. Since it forms easily from impure water, gypsum can have many inclusions of other minerals and even trapped bubbles of
air. Gypsum is named after the Greek word gypsos which means "plaster" or "chalk" because of its uses.
Varieties of Gypsum:
Desert Rose: the name given to light brown to rose colored bladed gypsum crystals that are interlocked rose-shaped formation of Gypsum. A Desert Rose appears
when lamellar (flattened) plates of gypsum become impregnated with sand during their crystallization and, in this condition, are arranged around a common center
to form a "rosette." Some Desert Roses are indeed remarkably flower like, except the texture of the 'petals' is rough and grainy instead of smooth.
"Selenite" is the colorless and transparent variety that shows a pearl like luster and has been described as having a moon like glow. The word Selenite comes from
the Greek for Moon and means moon rock.
Satin spar is the variety name for masses of extremely fine, needle-like, parallel gypsum crystals. If forms most often silky, fibrous, and translucent (pearly, milky)
and can exhibit some coloration.
Solid masses of gypsum without discernible crystal structure are given the variety name Alabaster.
Metaphysical Uses Of Gypsum:
Considered the "Lucky Stone", Gypsum provides strong influences for bringing good fortune.
Use Gypsum in your meditations and concentrations, to aid in molding your character toward growth and improvement.
Gypsum will aid you to 'slow down time' when things are too rushed around you, or you are feeling overwhelmed with too many situations at hand.
For those of you who use the Medicine Wheel, Gypsum will easily bring the four directions together, uniting Mother Earth and Father Sky. Also, it will bring
Medicine Wheel members into the condition of "right thought and action." It will maintain connections via the heart chakra between said members.
For Specific Metaphysical Uses:
Desert Rose: It is an excellent stone for use in the healing of the earth. Can be used to enhance love. Stimulates teamwork
Selenite: Helps with relief of stress. Enhances will power. Can be used on auric arcs too to clear and cut in a ritual, releasing one form the connections to people or
events past. Use in meditation, clarity of the mind, physical energy, opening and clearing of the upper chakras. Provides a strong, yet delicate connection to the
spiritual world. Is associated with the Crown Chakra.
Satin Spar: Use in meditation, clarity of the mind, physical energy, opening and clearing of the upper chakras. Initiates independence and motivation. Used to access
past and future lives.
Alabaster: Often used in relationships to heal a rift, and allow more peaceable end. It enhances friendship and relationship harmony.
Physical Uses of Gypsum:
Desert Rose: Fertility. Increases sex drive. Used in the regeneration of tissues and muscular flexibility. Smooths skin: Used in an elixir and applied to the skin, the
Desert Rose elixir will enhance elasticity in one's skin.
Selenite: It has been stated that Selenite will help to produce strong bones. Tissue repair. Fast pain relief.
Satin Spar: Said to stabilize epileptic disorder. Placed on the skin, it is stated to aid in the quick healing of skin wounds.
Alabaster: Is reported to help in treatments of heart disorders.
Special Gypsum Notes:
Gypsum is extremely soft and can be scratched with a fingernail. This makes the material very easy to carve. Gypsum pellets expand when water is applied. This
makes gypsum good as an agricultural product for breaking up soil for planting. Sheetrock is pressed gypsum.
Industrial Uses:
Plaster of Paris, wallboard, fertilizer in agriculture, carvings made from Alabaster which is another form of gypsum, and a flux for pottery.
Unique in shape, desert roses would feel right at home set in a flower gardens or potted plants. They will make for interesting conversation and bring forth good
energies if used as decorative center pieces for your dinning room or coffee table.

Scientific Larimar:
This stone has been identified as pectolite, but doubts remain among those in the mineral world as to this determination. Since the material is volcanic in origin, great
variability exists in its composition. There is some pectolite, but chemical analysis indicates small amounts of sodium. Some needle-thin growths within the blue
areas of Larimar have high aluminum content, suggestive of natrolite.
Larimar is a recently discovered stone, by Norman Reilly, an American Peace Corps Volunteer, and local geologist, Miguel Mendez. The stone was discovered in the
1974 in the mountainous regions of the Dominican Republic, overlooking the Caribbean Sea. It is reported that this is the only known area in which Larimar can be
found.
This stone comes in a variety of colors from the pale blue-green to a lovely deep aqua blue, both having white streaks or soft blotches. The blue-aqua specimens are
rare to find and are much more sought after.
The name of "Larimar" was given to this stone by the Dominican mineralogist, Miguel Méndez. He combined his daughter's name LARIssa and MAR, which is the
Spanish word for sea.
The stone is also known as the "Atlantis Stone," as a wise prophet once claimed the Dominican Republic was part of the lost continent of Atlantis.
Larimar's hardness takes an excellent polish, is durable for a lifetime of wear, has a unique beautiful blue color, and the fact that there are never two identical pieces,
is helping Larimar become quite a popular stone worldwide.
Metaphysical Uses Of Larimar:
Larimar is reported to be finely tuned to the human body, especially the 5th Chakra that is situated in the throat, which is associated with communication. It is
especially good for people needing to express their heart, feelings and emotions. When worn, Larimar emits a love that brings a sense of truthfulness, and peace in
that truthfulness.
This stone is used for cellular work: purging entities from your environment and physical being.
Larimar enables the flow of energy within the body and will help promote open mindedness to physical, emotional, and spiritual changes and/or improvements.
Larimar will also soften stress and tension that any type of problems brings with them.
Larimar can withhold powerful healing energies, bringing balance and peace to its owner.
Larimar is also reported to be an Angelic Stone. Being associated with our Guardian Angels on the earthly plain, the stone will encourage our soul mate relationship
with them.
When placed under a sleeper's pillow, Larimar brings creative dreams and prophecies. Larimar also helps us to view events from a different perspective.
For those seeking, Larimar will stimulate a deeper understanding of why we are in this world.
Larimar will aid in bringing freedom by casting off bondages to the materialistic world.
This stone combines our mind and thoughts (the element of air energy) with our heart and emotions (the element of water energy), gathering mind-emotions into a
harmonious whole.
Larimar is stated to be a salesperson stone. Place a piece of Larimar by the front entrance to bring in customers to your establishment and/or place a piece on your
cash register for further prosperity.
Medicinal Uses of Larimar:
Larimar is said to increases speech and communication skills. It supports the healing process of our thymus, and increases the possibilities of regulating the thyroid
gland.
Larimar is believed to dissolve any kind of energetic blockages that will cause physical problems or mental diseases.
Larimar is used to open up the acupressure meridians in the feet, allowing those to recognize which painful spots lead to painful areas in body.
