So my gemstone left me today...

I read somewhere that if you no longer need a gemstone you've been using, it can sometimes literally drop from your body. Well I had that happen today from a necklace. BUT, the thing is an aquamarine; such a gentle, heart-voice energy that I've been using for a LONG time and actually was considering putting it in my future wedding band. I used it at first for its purported courage. What it ended up doing was making me calmer at work and, oddly, helped my voice to be less scratchy. (That is a WEIRD one and I found out by accident, as forgetting to wear it on a few separate occasions helped me to notice the correlation). With its calmness more firmly imbedded in me over time, I was able to nearly remove myself emotionally from major-trouble customers and treat them as politely as can be until they would go away. That response is not in my high-fire nature, yet it's very valuable in the retail world, so I came to depend on my little aquamarine. I'd sleep with it and everything. I wanted it for the rest of my life (i.e.: the wedding band idea). I felt it helped me behave more lovingly... and sometimes feel more loving, too. Certainly I came to see relations between opposing factions of people while wearing it, and have begun to believe in that new-ish mindset strongly. I credit the aquamarine.

Recently I've been told that I'm too scatter-brained and need to learn to communicate better. In an honest effort I'm gathering various communication-booster gemstones on ebay and am going to try them out one by one. I was just thinking, I'll need another chain so I can wear these new ones alongside my current aquamarine pendant. Most of them are actually quite compatible with it (I checked several sources), so it shouldn't be a problem. This I-need-another-chain thought had JUST begun to really take form when, all of a sudden, I'm getting dressed for work and my gemstone falls off its post setting and drops on the floor (thankfully a soft landing!).

Thoughts?

Oh, thanks! Yeah I'll probably end up wearing any ring/s on a chain anyway. My fingers are funny... rings that are wide enough to pass the knuckle end up being too wide below the knuckle, so if I close my fingers together the ring goes slanted.

Update: My friend at work 'fixed' the pendant for me. She glued it back to its post with a very heavy duty jewelry-grade glue that she uses in making her own pendants and jewelry. She attached it upside down as far as I was concerned, just because it's not what I'm used to, but I do agree it may look better that way. I wore it all of a day and a half, because then the pendant fell off its post, again! I almost didn't find it. I happened to decide to head through a door I'd gone through earlier and normally wouldn't have needed to go back so quickly; it was in the corner where I ordinarily don't look, and I just noticed it, was stunned for a moment then checked my necklace and yep, it's missing...

Something's up lol.

Yes, those earlier responses were to someone who has deleted his account. What a shame.

Today I'm wire-wrapping the thing with copper. It used to be a silver-colored pendant post; possibly real silver, or possibly just pot metal. Now it shall be copper. Hopefully its beneficial energies are augmented in this way.
