Did You Know

 Did you know, legend has it that chiastolite warded off the evil eye? 

*Possibly because of cross-shaped, black inclusions of graphite on the stone.

I'll have to Google chiastolite. I have no idea what it is.

Yet another thing I didn't know.... I must be thick.

Have a good day.

Neat fact.

Birgit said...

I had to look this stone up but I can see why it was considered to ward off the evil eye. I am feeling better today. Tuesday was a write off and yesterday I was sleeping most of the day. I have some pain but no more bleeding and a bit tired but nothing major.

I know, right? It's basically a stone with a cross design in it.

ROFL. That's seriously a good one, dear Elizabeth.

You probably have to know what a "chiastolite" is for it to work. Sigh.
