Did you know...
There was a specific stone for each horoscopic sign?
Aquarius is Garnet
Pisces is Amethyst
Ares is Bloodstone
Taurus is Sapphire
Gemini is Agate
Cancer is Emerald
Leo is Onyx
Virgo is Carnelian
Libra is Peridot
Scorpio is Beryl
Sagittarius is Topaz and
Capricorn is Ruby
Also, opal, my birthstone, supposedly means fidelity, assurance, religious emotion (?) and prayer. It's made of hydrated spheres of silica overlapping one another, and if it ages it can actually dry out and crack because it has such a high water content.
Sapphire is a symbol of the heavens. It signifies innocence, truth, chastity and health.
Both sapphires and rubies are made of corundum...they are actually the same substance, just different colors.
Right...I'm going to bed. I was doing homework until about ten minutes ago. Then the cat clawed me right in the eye while she was playing with my hair. Damn, that hurt. I don't recommend it. I went to hockey; that was wonderful, but depressing (I'm so damn out of shape.) I'll probably be sore tomorrow.
One more week, one more week...
