Mystic Silica

Whilst being exquisitely beautiful and full of physical and chemical interest, I do not believe inanimate stones have any magical, spiritual or healing powers. Nevertheless, many people from all over the world do hold such views and thus a page on “mystic Silica” must be included for completeness. Just because I don’t believe it doesn’t mean there may be deeper meaning within these stones.

Rain Pepples

Rain Flower Pebbles (yuhuashi)– are regarded in China as national treasure. They originate from sediments, which were formed approximately 12 million years ago by the river Yangtse. It is told that there rained upon a monk, during deep devotional contemplation a rain of beautiful flowers. As they reached the ground they were converted to these beautiful pebbles.

Moqui Marbles

Legend says that the departed ancestors of the Hopi Indians of the Southwestern United States played games with these “marbles” in the evening when spirits are allowed to visit the earth. When the sun rises they must return to the heavens so they leave the marbles behind to let relatives know they are happy and well. According to one source, in the Hopi language, the word “moqui” means “dearly departed one.”

Shiva linga

At only one site on earth, along the lower reaches of the NarmadaRiver, in the state of Madhya Pradesh, during the dry season,  are found unique and exquisitely beautiful stones, the Bana Lingam. They are naturally shaped form (Swayambhu) of “Shiva Lingam”, which is that of the aniconic representation  the Hindu god,  Lord Shiva. The Shiva Lingam from the Narmada  are, created by their own accord and not by a tool or by human hand. Shiva Lingam are the holy symbols of Lord Shiva and considered sacred by the devotees of Lord Shiva. Siva Lingam have been worshipped in Hinduism since ages. Worship of Shiva Linga is regarded sacred and superior Shiva Mahapurana. This is because the form makes worship simple while maintaining the truth that God does not have any definite form.
