SIGN of the COVENANT I
RARE RAINBOW CALSILICA AND BROWN SEEDS
WHAT IS RAINBOW CALSILICA? (Calsite and
Silica) This is a new 'mystery material' (2002) on the market about which
little is known. But what we do know is that it is a magnificent collection
of layered colors and is very popular with jewelry designers who don't
seem to give its origin much concern. (Especially favored by SouthWestern
Artists) Our vender did not know much about it. She said to the best of
her knowledge it was a by product of the mining industry, a type of 'run
off' or 'sludge' which is being stabilized then milled into beads.

In our research we also discovered that it is coming
from Mexican mines where it is being cut into slabs. It is then shipped
to the US where it is stabilized, cut and and polished for use in jewelry
and other art forms and in spite of its 'mystery' it does not seem to affect
its beauty or popularity.
... SEVERAL THEORIES ...
Theories range from it being a natural 'sludge'
from the mining process - to the layering of artists or man made pigments.
It is generally believed to be the result of the runoff of mining or oil
drilling chemicals forming a layered multi-colored slab that has hardened
over the last 30 to 50 years. Studies from a laboratory in Arizona
described Rainbow Calsilica as a “microcrystalline calcite with the color
resulting from a copper push that cross-cuts rhyolite.” The question remains,
'Does it occur naturally or is it manufactured?' Because if its rare
beauty, 'does it make any difference?' (see professionaljeweler.com archives)

RARE RAINBOW CALSILICA WITH NATURAL BROWN SEEDS
TO REMIND US OF GOD'S BOW OF PROMISE AND
THE WOOD OF THE ARK
... inspired
scripture ...
8 God said to Noah and to
his sons with him:9 "See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and
your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature
that was with you: all the birds, and the various tame and wild animals
that were with you and came out of the ark. 11 I will establish my
covenant with you, that never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed
by the waters of a flood; there shall not be another flood to devastate
the earth." 12 God added: "This is the sign that I am giving for all ages
to come, of the covenant between me and you and every living creature with
you: 13 I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant
between me and the earth.
ANOTHER VIEW
OF THE VARIGATION
(Bead, about .5 in.)
14 When I bring clouds
over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, 15 I will recall
the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings, so that
the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all mortal beings.
16 As the bow appears in the clouds, I will see it and recall the everlasting
covenant that I have established between God and all living beings--all
mortal creatures that are on earth." 17 God told Noah: "This is the
sign of the covenant I have established between me and all mortal creatures
that are on earth."
