This is the fourth in a series of Caches where you will collect various stone or crystal beads. The first cache contains a leash with a split ring that can be attached to your GPS, keychain, or anywhere else you can think to put it! I have already put the first bead, Hematite on this leash. When you find each following cache, all you have to do is slide the bead on and then tie a knot in the leash to hold the bead in place. Then on to the next, the next, etc. At the end of the series you will have 7 beads on your leash. There is a bigger unique first to find bead in each cache. Please do not leave anything in the cache except travel bugs.
Just take a bead, sign the log, and enjoy.
This cache is a micro.
Crystals and Rocks through out the ages have been attributed with healing properties.
Here is what I learned about our fourth Bead:
Garnet:
Ranges in color from deep emerald green through yellow, brown, and red. Common to the US, but found all over the world. Stimulates creativity, passion, and the circulatory system. The brighter the better. Red: Root and Spleen Chakra. Warms, energizes emotionally and physically (arthritis, frostbite, paralysis), grounds. Used by incient cultures. Exhaustion, low Blood Pressure, detoxing and strengthening blood, muscles, kidneys, gallstones. Stimulates life force and sexuality, hormone balance, antibodies, fertility, persistence, stamina, passion, confidence (and stubbornness). Yang (avoid if excess anger, impatience, high blood pressure, heat, inflammation, etc.) Root Chakra. Orange: Warmth, energy. When Garnet is used in conjunction with the pituitary gland, can help provide past-life information. Should be placed on the center of the forehead. If carried around in the pocket and then placed on the forehead of another person, closer ties will form with that individual. Green Garnets are healing stones. Red represent love and help the aspirant to strive for improvement in moral conduct. Square-cut Garnets help bring about business opportunities and filter out concerns that are not one's own. Rectangular shapes aid in the matter of intellect or the earth. Garnets teach patience and constancy and are not to be used lightly. They develop love and compassion. They sharpen self-perception and extend that openness to others. Help calm anger, particularly anger directed towards the self.
