Firekeeper,
Obsidion, or almost any normally dark stone needs frequent cleansing. When I find my rock book, I will look up and see if I can find any others that do not need cleansing. I think I remember it is angelite, or kyanite, but don't hold me to it.
I loaned this ball out ONCE. I didn't know any better back then. It wouldn't forgive me until I became more territorial about it. I have pretty good boundaries now!
Particularly with this ball. Now when I give a stone, I GIVE it. I don't do loans on any stone.
It does sound a little la-la, but I just go with it. :o}}
Anthropomorphic, isn't that giving emotions to inanimate objects? If so, I'll go along with that! Otherwise, how do we know that they want to go home with us?
I have a sphere, green lepoard jasper, that I bought over a year ago, because it came to my attention by having 'smoke' come out of it. Sitting on the shelf at the store.
It has not talked to me, and I have not been able to program it. I think it was just tired of being in the store. My feeling is that it is male. Jasper is usually difficult for me to program. I will probably give it away at some point unless it becomes more friendly. Onyx is easy, and seems to be very 'soft' in healing. Particularly the green, pink and grays. Almost like they put out a 'blanket' of soft energy for the person healing.
For most of the stones, if you have a good rain storm, I find that clears and charges them all at once! They do seem to like that energy!
Gotta go put my rocks out in the rain tonight! :o)
Blessings,
Priestess
