Hi Sally,
Excellent! I'll try this myself.
What you're describing sounds like a kind of psychometry.
Another form of psychometry to try with stones, rocks, crystals etc is to find a quiet corner with a friend, close your eyes, relax, and hold a crystal or whatever in your hands for about five to ten minutes, whilst concentrating on a particular event, subject, emotion, or color (which is easier i think), but without telling the other person.
When you're ready, give the crystal to your friend and let them hold it for a while to see what they can pick up, or do it together and swap over :) Make a note of things you see, smells, emotions, words, sounds etc, and compare!
Before i forget, cleanse the stone or whatever first...
Try this on jewellery, such as rings, which have been worn for years. Who knows what's in there! It's good for something to do on a rainy day, but then again the only thing i know that's better is to actually go out into the rain and get absolutely soaking wet! Yay! ;)
Take care.
Graham.
