"I sure hope you can get it soon. It's an extremely powerful little piece of hardware. This replaces your necklace as a protective shield. There have been some amazing stories of people miraculously guided out of harm's way while wearing this little baby ( Read more... )

"There are other items I want to get you, but I want to wait until I have the opportunity to buy them at a discount. But since you've broken the necklace, you'll need this little baby ASAP ( Read more... )
