Tourmaline was unknown to ancient magician, but is a nevertheless a unique stone in many ways. The stone is transparent when viewed from the side of the crystal, yet opaque when viewed from either end. When heated or rubbed to create friction, it polarizes; that is, one end will become positive and attract ashes or light straws, the other negative.

It was also used to decorate the bridles of horses, to protect them against broken bones from falls. Among the Native Americans of the Southwestern United States, Turquoise is believed to be a connector of Earth and Sky. It is one of the four "elemental" gemstones of the Pueblos; (the others are coral, jet and abalone shell). Turquoise is receptive and is a sacred stone to many American Indian tribes. It promotes courage, money, love, friendship, healing and luck. A piece of turquoise is a required tool in the Apache shaman's medicine or power bag. This is a protective stone. Horse riders wear turquoise to protect themselves from falls. In Ancient times, turquoise was utilized to gain wealth. Wearing turquoise can speed the healing process. Like all blue stones, it is said to attract good fortune. Turquoise is thought to increase Wisdom. "An old ritual utilized Turquoise to gain wealth. Perform this rite a few days after the New Moon when the crescent is first visible in the sky. Avoid looking at the Moon until the proper time. Hold a Turquoise in your hand. Visualize your magical need -- money -- manifesting in your life. Move outside and look at the Moon. Then directly shift your gaze to the Turquoise. The magic has begun.

	UNIKITE Combination of pink feldspar and green epidote. The pink in unikite speaks to the heart chakra to awaken the love within. The green lends its healing qualities to any hurts, which have been sustained. The pink is more grounding than rose quartz. Unikite has a leveling effect and helps to balance the emotional aspects of the body. We often think of the emotions as originating and residing in the heart, and UNIKITE can soothe Heart Chakra issue, but another place where they live, often imprisoned, is in the solar plexus. As young children, discouraged away from the full expression of our emotions, we learn that shallow breathing helps us not to feel as much. The repression of feeling can become automatic, and life, while perhaps less painful, also has less joy. Unikite can be very helpful in the steady release of feelings long held in. An opaque coral and olive-green stone (two colors associated with the solar plexus), it consists of three minerals: feldspar, epidote, and quartz. When one is supported by deepened self-esteem and self-awareness, it is easier to allow old feelings to arise so that they may be released. Unikite lends another element to self-awareness. In working with this stone people have noticed that they were able to go deeper than the physical symptoms of an illness and understanding the mental and emotional sources for it. It is also believed to help release conditions, which have been inhibiting personal growth
