Isn't this beautiful?

plunkybugMy mom just got back from spending 2 weeks in Israel with her longtime friends Karen and Jay, who you might recall I called non-blood family who will be family by marriage in a year. They'd all been 40 years ago as teens. This is what she brought back for me.
I linked a smaller version of this in the comments of my last post, but I really thought it deserved a post of its own, in its big, detailed glory. As I said in the comment, she did not know what the stone in it is, but we suspect some form of opal based on the irridescant coloring.
She also brought back a magnetic bookmark which is awesome, and a raw Eilat Stone (pronounced like "ay-lot").
Eilat Stone comes only from Israel's southernmost city on the Red Sea. It is a blend of chrysocolla, turquoise and pseudomalachite. This stone excels in healing emotional and physical aspects of the Heart and Throat Chakras. Flushes out/heals hurt, fear, stress, loss. Has antidepressant qualities. Good for the sinuses and mouth, as well as bone and tissue regeneration. On the Solar Plexus; it aligns the subtle bodies and harmonizes heart, mind, body. Eilat Stone encourages wholeness, peace of heart, self-expression, and creativity. Balances yin/yang. Draws out fever, pain, and inflamation. Each stone is a beautiful mix of blues and greens with black and brown accents.
The raw, unpolished stone is great actually. I think it has a nice variety of colors.

Glad your mom has safetly returned. Was excited for her opportunity. I wonder how her trip went, what was her favourite part of the whole Israel experience. I assume this was her first time? This is so cool!
