Early Egyptians believed it symbolized the 'all embracing night sky. Its deep blue (from sulfur) is familiar to us with its veins of pyrite and calcite. But these beads are almost pure blue rarely seen. We are having problems purchasing Lapis as the main source is Afghanistan but found our friend across the bay from us at the Gem and Mineral show in Tucson who carried them. + ' We are using Lapis that is remarkably clear and free of impediments.

what God says to us and through us "We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature-- trees, flowers, grass--grow in silence; see the stars, the moon and sun, how they move in silence. Is not our mission to give God to the poor in the slums? Not a dead God, but a living Loving God. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us. All of our words will be useless unless they come from within--words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness." from 'Something Beautiful For God' Mother Teresa
