Jul 08: Carnelian (Bonus word)

It was just too hot for the family to feel like having fun, everyone is just lounging around and chilling out...

So here it is, after over ten months of doing every word of the day, I am using a bonus word.

But I don't mind as Carnelian is Mrs B's favourite gemstone and I purchased this one for our 17 anniversary (quite a few years ago).

Carnelian is ideal for Mrs B as it:
• gives energy
• protects from bad vibrations
• guards against poverty
• helps give a sense of humor
• calms the temper
• it is an energy booster

All of which means she can put up with me....

I think I need a piece of carnelian! Or did you just make up the effects of it to suit?

Lovely shot. It's really pretty, Bulldog, and I like all its attributes. I'm going to have to get one.

[Mary]

Lovely shot and wonderful attributes.

I think I need one of those as well, it is a beautiful piece Bulldog. I am married 24 years this month and I looked it up and it is a musical instrument. ah I dont think so lol

Don't let him get away with it - I try and get Mrs B the gemstone for each anniversary and 14 years is Tanzanite (but don't tell I told you).

I certainly do - sounds wonderful. I like the bit about guarding against poverty, perhaps my son needs it too.

Beautiful gemstone...my husband no longer buys me jewellery...as I never wear it....not allowed at work and I never got in the habit otherwise.

I am starting to agree with him - Mrs B either 'puts it some safe' never to be found again, or looses / breaks it.

Beautiful Bulldog - and lucky Mrs B!

[Hazel]

You are allowed! Carnelian would be good for me too, methinks!
10 months, gosh, well done!

[Karin Hirsch]

Beautiful heartshaped stone, lucky Mrs.B to have this

[Gillian]

Yay for carnelian!! What a beautiful stone!

[Kitti Nelson]

Gorgeous gift and I love that it gives the strength to tolerate/survive a spouse! It's not the wearing of it that is important Bulldog, - It's about the way Mrs B felt when you gave it to her and how she feels when she looks at it now. (I think she may, occasionally, feel very lucky)
