[Sca-cooks] Precious stones to ward off evils

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Regarding the believed properties of stones it seems to me that there were 
several intersecting belief sets related to religions.  For those of us with 
"European" personas the three main groups of these were, if I am not 
mistaken, Christian, Moslem and Jewish.  The Moslem belief sets also 
intersected with those of Indian and China.  The Christian sets also 
intersect directly, albeit in late period, with those of India, China and 
Japan and in early period the Pagan.  Don't have any guesses about the 
Jewish.  Be that as it may there are some stones that are relatively region 
specific, jade is specific case in point.
