The Stone Blessing |
|
examination it was discovered that this single stone was one of the worlds largest BLUE STAR SAPPHIRES...EVER...and was later estimated to be worth over THREE MILLION DOLLARS! The young woman that had sold the stone heard the story and unsuccessfully tried suing the man for the return of the stone. It was later learned that the grandfather had been a rock collector and held a claim to an old abandoned mine, where this stone had come from. The mine was discovered to still possess fragments of these stones but none equal to the first! The uninformed young woman who had sold her grandfathers rock realized to late, that she had once possessed a FORTUNE but never knew it, until it was too late! Of course this story is a parable to the ownership of something precious. Then ignorantly selling or trading it for nothing; then learning that what you once possessed was more valuable than you ever could imagine! The "STONE OF Great Value" has been laid aside in many homes and placed in the dark corners of the garage, among items of no value whatsoever! In reality if you are fortunate enough to come from a home where there exists PEACE and LOVE then you truly possess that single STONE already. It should be guarded and kept polished and honorably displayed in each life. As we all know, there are many shows in this world, all selling their goods and trying to get others to purchase their sparkling gimmicks but there are no equal products OF THIS PRECIOUS STONES MAGNITUDE! In ignorance there are many who possess this very jewel but cannot recognize its value, and are trading away their own treasured inheritance and exchanging their Riches for valueless Nothings! "Hold on to what you already got!" Contact Author at: |

Among the tables of gemologists, rock hounds and sellers, he casually picked through an assortment of rocks at one young ladies table. Patiently the shopper went through each box and pile, while carrying on a conversation with the younger woman. There were boxes of old dirty rocks in all sizes and shapes; most of them were piled in heaps with a price assigned to each sorted lot. She mentioned that she had cleaned out her parents' garage and many of these things had belonged to her grandfather. As he dug through one box marked "$7.50 Each" he saw several rocks he thought were interesting, bought two and bargained down the price on several other pieces, paid the woman and went his way. |

Later that week he began to clean up the rocks and examine them closer, hoping to use them for paper weights at the office. After brushing and washing one of the rocks which he had bargained for, it began to emanate a curious gleam. He buffed off more of the surface dirt and a blue light began to draw his eye into what seemed to be a deep endless chamber of blue. A short time later he thought he might take the fist sized stone to a friend who was very knowledgeable in gems and rocks. In their |
