Stone Lore:

Bronzite is said to be a grouding stone that helps one take control of life and actions, while maintaining politeness and consideration for others. Physically it is said to reduce muscular tension and restlessness, and to balance the body�s pH.

Turquoise has been a sacred stone in many cultures. The Native Americans believed it helped connect the mind to the Universe, and used it in rainmaking ceremonies, and to protect the wearer from danger. Every shaman used a turquoise stone. The ancient pharaohs used it as ornamentation and to protect their status and wealth. It is said to help release negative behaviors, such as self-sabotage, to foster clear, heartfelt communication, and in general to attract healing and good luck.
