i'm absolutely dying to get my paws in the dirt up in Franklin...planned to this year but never got the chance...did get to Franklin though but only stopped in one of the shops there...perhaps next summer...i also want to go up on Chambers Mountain and look for kyanite...i've got a huge hunk from there but it was a gift from the owner of the rock shop over in Maggie Valley.

LOL...yes they do look rather "fairyish". Your observation of air and earth energies is interesting...i'm an air sign and from what i've learned in reading about this stone it's associated with air and earth signs (though not mine). i love the happiness i feel when holding or even just looking at mine and plan to meditate with it if/when it calls me...

Did a bit of Googling this morning and unearthed this info from the Colorado Gem and Mineral Company site:

Chrysanthemum Stone - Hunan Province
Large pointed pattern. Chrysanthemum Stone Geologic History: In the Mesozoic Era, deposition of a thick strata of mud rich in organic materials including flora and fauna occurred at the bottom of a sea. Calcium Carbonate (Calcite) and abundant Strontium Sulphate (Celestite) precipitated in the ooze at the bottom. As the layers were compacted, these sediments were buried by continuous deposition of more mud. At these lower depths it allowed radial growth of celestite formations that remained as patterns in the solidified limestone. Today the material is found as boulders in a river and then broken open by workers and subsequently trimmed of excess rock and sometimes worked by artisans into ornate sculptures.

From Doreen Virtue's "Crystal Therapy" the healing properties and message of the Chrysanthemum Stone are:

"This is the stone of change. It expands compatibility, building unity through fun and innocence. In addition, it removes obstructions, and helps you start or continue moving toward your goals."

"Expect the unexpected with me. For as an elemental takes pleasure in the mischief of change, so do I. (Perhaps that's why fairies peek out, showing their wings in my blossoms.) Change without pain is possible, and I'm here to prove it. Visualize what you want, and I will work with you. Don't be surprised if I add a little gift. Laughter is joy spoken out loud. Remember the curiousity you felt as a child? Nothing was unquestionable or unchangeable - that is still the truth. You created the change. What will it be?"
