[Rockhounds] shamanic amber

[kirk stephan]

Amber has been used medicinally for thousands of years, usually in
the form of an elixir, as in Chinese medicine The stone is one of the
few stones that can be charged with electricity, and the Greeks
referred to it by the name of "elektron" because of this property.
The stone has also been used to intensify meditation by wearing it as
beads. Amber has also been used in amulets, as charms repelling evil,
and carried as a stone that provided protection against poisons.

The ANCIENT MAYAN MINE OF CHIAPAS (Mexico) is probably the only
mine in the world that consistently produces NATURAL/UNTREATED Red
and Green AMBER. I've been working with local Mayan Shamans for more
than 25 years and discovered that the 'SASTUN', or medicine power
object, of the Shamans, preferred above all others, are pieces,
polished or carved, of Mexican amber. This material, unlike most
other amber in the world, actually glows; the color refraction being
very much higher than the Baltic, for example. Please take a moment
to view photos of this incredible mystical gem at my site:
