10 RARE GEMSTONES/CRYSTALS
PUDDINGSTONE
Other varieties are named for the pattern of the stone: orbicular, banded, jasper breccia, moss, variegated, poppy stone, and puddingstone. Puddingstone jasper is a jasperized conglomerate. All these sub-variety names lead to considerable confusion as to what the material actually is. During the Middle Ages in Europe, jasper was believed to be a very powerful medicinal stone, which if worn, warded off all types of ailments and problems. So it’s not unusual to learn that it was a very popular stone, worn in all manner as personal adornments. Today certain types or patterns of jasper are still popular, worn as cabochons or carved as animals or novelty items. You may also see spheres of various sizes made from the more brightly colored or highly textured varieties of jasper. This stone is useful for those in Relationships. The pebbles band together, as People do. This stone reminds its Holder the importance of holding a Community/Connection together – and making it complete.
RED BAMBOO CORAL
This brilliant-red bamboo coral hails from the South Pacific and makes an ideal complement to turquoise. The smaller shapes (#20-500 through #20-512) sport a smooth, regular finish and have been colored with a nice oil dye. The larger, more-irregular shapes (#20-520 and higher) have a turquoiselike black matrix and are water-dyed, which is less stable (and less expensive!) than oil dye.

It brings energies of tranqulity and helps eliminate worries and depression. It also helps reduce or eliminate depression and anxiety, giving an overall sense of wellbeing.
