mystery stone of the week 4

[Apachestone]

crystallizes in the form of masses and, occasionally, hexagonal crystals. It is a silver-white colour which transforms to red.
It can be used to help one to transit from the physical plane to the astral state and/or
to the spiritual realms. In this case, it provides for the opening for, and the continuity
of travel with respect to, a pre-established travel plan.

It relieves conditions of emotional and spiritual isolation, allowing one to feel the
connected-ness with "All That Is". It allows one to abide within serenity, regardless
of ones physical location, enhancing the state of the moment with the illumination of
wisdom.
has been used as a stone of transformation; it directs the change to
orderliness and calms the state of change, providing a supplemental physical vitality
to the user. It transforms the energy of the crown chakra to energize the base chakra
[in contrast with most stones] and actualizes the power of wisdom.
It stimulates cohesiveness in groups and relationships, allowing for independence in
progression toward a common goal. It also helps one to enjoy the journey. can be used to assist in diminishing fevers and in lessening catatonic states.
It can also stimulate the energy and can be used to clear the biological field.

Bismuth. I have held a peice of this, weird stuff !
Bismuth is rarely found in nature in its elemental form. Of growing interest in rock shops, however, are laboratory-grown bismuth crystals. These crystals, while not natural, are nonetheless very interesting to the mineral hobbyist and to others. The unique look that these clusters offer is really indescribable. Its color consisits of iridescent metallic yellow, blue and green hues.
Of interest to hobbyists are the pseudocubic "hopper" crystals that are always present on the laboratory produced specimens, they are not seen in but only the rarest of natural crystals. Hopper crystals are a unique crystallographic curiosity Just the edges extend outward from the center of the crystal leaving hollow stairstep faces between these edges. The hopper crystals form due to the disparity of growth rates between the crystal edges and the crystal faces.
