Chapter 13

The next morning as Anna finished her tea, Nicholas brought out an ancient-looking book. Its leather cover was cracked and crumbling apart. He set it gently on the table and swatted at a plume of dust as he opened the cover.

“Jasper, sapphire, agate, emerald, onyx, ruby, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, turquoise, jacinth and amethyst,” he read. “These are the twelve foundation stones.” He turned the book toward her. “Read and study their meanings. Remember, they are channels of blessing from the Most High.”

Anna squinted at the old, barely legible script.

Jasper—tracking. There are fifty types of jasper, including Leopard Skin, Bloodstone, Picture Jasper and so forth. Jasper relates to grounding a person to the earth. It is helpful for tracking, providing strength, courage and endurance. Bloodstone is the stone of selfless sacrifice. Picture Jasper allows the user to create a map to someone or someplace.

Sapphire—mental focus. All sorts of sapphires aid with vision. Sapphire helps you see a way to stay on the right path, as well as a way of escape. Good for battle strategy. Also can help a person sense the future.

Agate—healing, especially of the soul. A translucent gemstone of almost any color, but it must have bands.

Emerald—protection, especially against evil.

Onyx—courage to fight against evil. Comes in many colorations, always with bands. At times, white onyx provides blinding heat of judgment. Black onyx is the destroyer of evil communication.

Ruby—power. Ruby should be used with sapphire because the surge of power can cloud the mind. Main uses include defense of the defenseless, fighting evil and overcoming attack.

Chrysolite—good fortune, or luck. The user of chrysolite will experience a way out of troubled circumstances, but not unearned fortune.

Beryl—truth. Pure beryl is colorless and will expose falsehood and deception.

Topaz—virtue. The wearer will value virtue, be filled with compassion and wisdom toward others.

Turquoise—healing, especially of battle wounds. Many consider it a protector as well.

Jacinth—wisdom. The user of jacinth will be able to better hear the voice of the Most High and have discernment.

Amethyst—purity. The wearer will have purity of thought and action. Will have a desire to do what is right.
