Eye Agate

Posted by slang on October 18, 2010

Agates are formed from silicates chiefly chalcedony quartz in composition. Eye agates ( also known as Mexican, cyclops, Botswana and ring agates) display a colorful concentric banding and when cut crosswise the stone will appear to have a center or eye.

Different colors and varieties of  Eye Agates

Eye agate is a grounding hence protective stone protecting oneself from evil eye, harmful magic and other misfortunes. It was believed agate brought Gods’ favor and bestowed the power to vanquish enemies and to acquire riches in addition to rendering one invisible. Eye agate also enhances the power of concentration and manifestation. Meditation with these stones will serve to return you to a true sense of self and restore a sense of divine within.

Interestingly, Islam in particular reveres the stones. According to tradition, whoever wears an agate ring is believed to be protected from various mishaps and will enjoy longevity among other benefits. In the Shia book of prayers is quoted the magical benefits associated with the agate:

Whosoever endures the night ’til sunrise wearing an agate ring on his/her right hand, before seeing or being seen by any human that morning, turns the agate ring towards the palm side of his/her hand and while looking at the gem recits the 97th chapter of the Quran followed by this prayer{specified}, then the God of the Universe shall grant him/her immunity on that day from any danger that falls from the sky or rises up to it, or which disappears into the earth, or rises out of it, and he/she shall remain protected by the power of God and the agents of God until dusk ——- Mafatih Al-janan

Posted by slang on September 6, 2009

If you believe in the power of gemstones, you can combine your knowledge of numerology to select the suitable lucky & powerful gemstone to wear as a ring or as a pendant hanging around your neck.

Most numerology books generally links the Date of Birth/Personality No to the type of lucky gemstones.

Before we start, let’s recap:

Computation of Personality Number & Life Path Number/Destiny No /Fadic No:

[Remember that: Personality Number = date of birth:]

Example 1:

Say if you are born 27 th

Then your personality number = 2+7 =9

Example 2:

Say if you are born 29 th

Then your personality number =2+9=11=1+1=2

Remember that Life Path/Destiny No/Fadic No = Add date + Month + Year ]

Example:

Say if you are born 3 rd of October 2007

Then you Life Path/Destiny No/Fadic No = 3+1+0+2+0+0+7 =13=1+3=4
