Lake Superior Rocks & Gems - The One Eyed Agate

When I first got into agates I didn't know much about them and it was probably about 3 years ago now. Ever since then I became a big #rockhound! I've always been a #rockhound at heart because my mother used to take me hunting for Quartz. Share your finds to the #rockhound tag! At the same time that I discovered agates I was also reading up on cloudbusters along with some conspiracy stuff regarding chemtrails. This ultimately led me to researching orgone pyramids which are said to provide healing energies and such when placed around your home. At the same time that I was taking in all this information I was also reading the Bible and going down my spiritual path.

Ancient civilizations that date as far back as the Babylonians believed that these stones also had healing properties. They believed it would keep evil away or even bad storms and weather. All the research I did has brought me to believe that this is true. While I don't depend on any healing property from rocks it came as a surprise to me that even the Bible confirms this attribute about all rocks to be true.

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:40

I'd also like to mention the supposed breastplate filled with gemstones that Lucifer wore. He depended on the power of his gemstones, which ultimately failed him.

My friend who could not get his wife pregnant, has had a baby and is now expecting twins after I told him that by collecting some Quartz it may help him get her pregnant. Of course, he started picking up quartz whenever we went rockhounding together. Now I'm sure that the quartz didn't play a terribly big role in this, but I felt it was noteworthy.

Barefoot walking is also said to provide healing to you because you are connecting your skin to the ground instead of being separated from the earth by walking on manmade surfaces and/or wearing shoes. It's a way to disconnect so the earth itself is the largest orgone pyramid and we all have access to it.

Lights Off

I feel that agates help bring wealth although my buddy and I joke about it that the wealth is in the actual sale value of the stone. My main reason for collecting them though is because they are absolutely beautiful. I haven't had time to post or go agate hunting lately so here's a beautiful agate for you to check out. I found this back in march so you can imagine how delayed I've been that it's taken me so long to share this one! Enjoy the bands!

There's nice looking eye in this agate and these are my favourite kind of agates to find, next to the round ones. If it has eyes, I'm happy!

No Shine

Whether it shines, glows or not, I still find them great in all their glory! I mainly share my agates without shine because this is how they look raw and unpolished by any human. Of course, it may be more difficult to spot them when just a little corner is sticking up out of the sand, it still gives you a pretty good idea of what to look for. Especially if you find a whole agate and the bands are hidden inside.

Shine

I can still remember the excitement I had when I first found this one because it had so much detail to it. I didn't even bother taking an "as I found it" pictuire. I quickly hurried to the water and cleaned it off so I can take a picture of it shining brightly in the sun.

Through the 60mm Macro Lens

I always love how detailed my macro shots can get. If you observe the eye closely, the center looks like there's a long, black needle pooking right into the center of the eye. You can clearly see the depth in it!

How Big is it?

Coming in at 21.6 Grams, not too heavy but still a nice size! Just about 7 grams short of an ounce, I look forward to finding some bigger ones!

^{Precious Metal to go with Precious Rock! Nothing too fancy, just a copper penny!}

Fun Fact: I took a total of 87 pictures of this rock bring you the best quality! It takes me about 45 minutes to take the pictures, another 45 minutes to pick the best ones and re-scale them, plus another 20-30 minutes to make the post!

So if you're a #rockhound, you probably already know that the weight of the stone is also important. Especially when you can find one that weighs more than one or two ounces, so from now on I will try to provide the weight of the agates I share to give more information. It's something I hadn't considered before, but I am always trying to improve my posts in some way.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope you found it interesting that rocks are very much alive! At least that's the conclusion I've come to.

Thanks for stopping by! God Bless!
