(urth) Sapphire Star

[Son of Witz]

thinking about the symbolic relationship between the Claw and the  
White Fountain, I looked through some of my mother in-law's crystal  
books for reference.

In "Healing with Gemstones and Crystals" by Diane Stein, which is  
apparently heavily influenced by this Plieadians new age alien- 
channelling cultish scene, I found the following entry on Star  
Sapphire as oddly appropriate to Severian & tBotNS.

Sapphire-Star (natural only)
color: blue and silver
Chakra: Causal Body
*Promotes connection with other-dimensional and other-planetary  
information for healing oneself and others
*Aids teachers of healing and healers in becoming clear channels for  
healing, facilitates connection and working with angelic Be-ings in  
healing
*Supports those in service to others and the planet; aids becoming an  
old soul, becoming a bodhisattva
*Eases healer's burnout, aids healers' own healing needs



anyway, I thought it was a funny bit of gold found in some shit.
the way the writer dropped the alien theories as fact was quite  
entertaining.
