****MOSS AGATE****SiO2****7 Hardness... Moss agate (or mocha stone) is translucent and colorless,white or gray with dark,moss– or treelike (dentritic) iclusions .It is usually cut as a thin slab or polished as ornaments ,brooches,or pendants. Agate is named after a river in Sicily, called Achates, where if was found in the fourth century B.C. Agate is the most common form of chalcedony, and is a versatile commercial stone. In the center of the rock, where there is a cavity, crystals often form, thus the name geode. Agate is typically found lining cavities of volcanic rocks worldwide. This variety comes from Brazil. The rock formation in which the agate is found is 50 million years old and located in the state of Rio Grande Do Sol, Brazil. The mines have been worked since about 1880 and provide a large percentage of the world's supply of agate.

Amazonite is a type of Feldspar which crystallizes in the form of short prismatic crystals, tabular crystals, or masses.   It is usually classified as a mineral rather than a gemstone, and is mined primarily in the Americas. It appears as a translucent pearlescent pink or apale azure, with a lustrous surface reminiscent of finely veined marble, and is sometimes found with yellow, white or grey inclusions.

Besides having all the properties of Feldspar, it is a pacifying and soothing stone, and can calm the nervous system, dispelling both negative energy and irritants.  It can also be used as a muscle relaxant.

It benefits one by brining mental clarity and centering and harmonizing facets of one's personality.  It makes accessible the energy of Universal Love and also helps one to abide and remain   within it. It's energy is of the receptive variety, it's element is Earth and it's planet is Pluto, which also relates it to material wealth and success, thus it's association with luck in gambling when worn on the body.

It facilitates the flow of neurological signals, and also assists  the metabolic system with the absorption of minerals into the body, especially calcium.

Heart and throat chakras are particularly  energized and benefited by it.  It assists in communicating in a loving way, and is also a balancer of male and female energies, and an aligner of etheric and astral bodies. Good for general health and when used as an elixir, or carried or worn.

In folklore it is sometimes said to be the Stone of Hope, its sky like color represents faith and it's high mineral content relating to physical endurance and stamina. Another folkname for it is the Amazon Stone, which also relates to physical strength and stamina.

GEMOLOGICAL  PROPERTIES:

Aquamarine belongs to the ‘Beryl’ family of minerals. Its chemical composition is Be3Al2(SiO3)6; a beryllium, aluminum, silicate that crystallizes as six sided prisms in the hexagonal crystal system,sometimes vertically striated and, occasionally, terminated with small pyramidal faces. . Aquamarine is usually transparent, but can also be translucent or opaque. Aquamarine means ‘sea water’ in Latin. The hardness of Aqua is 7 ½ on the Moh’s scale and the density lies between the range of 2.68-2.71. Its luster is vitreous and the typical color range is a clear sky blue to a beautiful bluish-green. Aquamarine occurs all over the world; from South America, Russia, Madagascar, and the USA just to name a few.

NEUROLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL   BENEFITS

Calms  and soothes nerves,and can overcome anxiety, fear and restlessness.
Also good for cleansing, meditation, serenity, peace, prophecy, inspiration, tranquillity, strength and the wise use of inner power. Provides and promotes  tranquility, flow, self-awareness, receptiveness, light-heartedness, creativity, achievement.

PSYCHIC, SPIRITUAL AND MENTAL BENEFITS

Facilitates balancing between the physical and spiritual.

This stone has long been associated with the ocean and the sea's spirits and Goddesses. Through its flowing quality promotes creative self-expression It is a "stone of courage".  Assists with assimilation of knowledge, reasoning,confidence, purpose and courageousness, leadership, will power. It's stability of structure provides a shielding property for the aura.

BENEFITS to the physical body

Facilitates balancing between the physical and spiritual.

Throat, spleen, heart, immune system, thymus, kidneys, lymph nodes, diseases of the neck, head, and throat.   Especially: mouth, ears, etc reduces fluid retention,

  Breathing allergies, journeys, seeing through people, it was traditionally used for safe seafaring. It has also been used to guard against injury during battle. Protects through visualization against pollution, especially of air and water.

It has been used in the treatment of swollen glands. It can also be used to balance and fortify the glands, is excellent for the eyes and for improving vision, and assists in the maintenance of the teeth and with the formative bone structure."

****FLUORITE****HARDNESS 4****Lot E362*****The mineral fluorite, calcium fluoride, has been mined since 1842 from the underground mines and tunnels scattered throughout southern Illinois and Kentucky along the Ohio River. Illinois is the leading producer of fluorite. Fluorite is used in the manufacturing of steel, iron, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, glass, bricks, cement, and welding rods. In the chemical industry, it is used to make hydrofluoric acid, insecticides, wood preservatives and antiseptics, aviation fuel, and Teflon. It is a natural method of fluoridating city water supplies, and of course for fluoride toothpaste. Fluorite crystals and some of the most beautiful minerals in nature, most commonly a cube

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that has unique and beneficial properties for a wide range of engineering and building applications.

Brass is often the first-choice material for electrical, precision, and general engineering equipment. It is usually specified for its strength, ductility, hardness, conductivity, machinability, wear resistance, color, and corrosion resistance. Its high ratings for machinability sets the standards by which other materials are judged. The addition of small amounts of lead further improves machinability.

The availability of brasses in precise shapes such as extrusions, hot stampings, drawn tubes, and die castings eliminates much of the machining costs required to produce finished components.

There are over 40 standard compositions for brass, with copper contents ranging from 58% to 95%. Small additions of other alloying elements are used to modify the properties of brass to meet specific applications.

Brass is the preferred material in many engineering and building applications for the following reasons:

- Brasses often offer better and longer service performance than other materials.

- Brasses have excellent resistance to corrosion. Outdoor exposure results in a thin protective green patina that is a visually attractive feature in buildings and other structures.

- Brasses have superior electrical and thermal conductivities to ferrous alloys, nickel alloys, and titanium. Their high conductivity combined with corrosion resistance makes them ideal for electrical equipment.

- The presence of lead in brass has a lubricating effect that provides low friction and low wear properties. This improves the functioning of clocks, gears, pinions, and plates. The addition of silicon in brass is ideal for resisting wear in heavy duty bearings.

- Since brasses do not spark when struck, they are common materials in hazardous environments.

- Brasses are readily joined to other copper alloys or to other metals by most commercial joining processes, such as riveting, soft soldering, silver brazing, and friction welding.

- Brasses exhibit excellent cryogenic properties.

- Brasses are ideal substrates for electroplating and painting.

- Brasses are highly recyclable. There is substantial demand for scrap brass, which is eventually recycled into refined brass and copper products.

- Brasses are frequently the cheapest material to select.

- Brasses can be easily cast to shape.

Silver is a very resistant mineral. It does not dissolve in most solutions, and won't react to oxygen or water. Its weak point is its reaction to sulfur and sulfides, which cause it to tarnish. Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is found in the atmosphere in small quantities, and when silver is exposed to normal air it reacts to the hydrogen sulfide, causing the tarnish. Egg yolks, which contain large quantities of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), as well as sulfur ores, should be kept away from silver. Several chemical coats are available to protect it from tarnish, and certain polishes remove tarnish.
