If you are referring to my lady with the orange dispersive "captured aura" gem, it was CZ. I made sure I ID'd it before setting.

Never mentioned a word to her about the gem's actual identity....as she never asked. She knew all that she needed to know, it was.....the manifestation of her inner glow.

No, He probably is just getting too many crank calls all the time.

Many of them, I suspect, is from my neighbor. She drove her husband nuts, too. Since he died, the only place she goes other than food shopping is the local church, many times a week. Now, if something fills a need, and brings some kind of peace or fulfillment to someone, it deserves a certain respect.
But this doctrine has been a trial, as I keep getting cellphone calls from her..
"I locked my keys in the car at church.."
"I have a flat tire. I'm at the church."
"I was late to church, and ran in, and forgot to turn my lights off. The battery is dead."
"WHY does this always happen to me at church?"
"STOP. PESTERING. HIM. all the time and see if things improve! You do not drink, steal, gamble, run around, etc...and your Confessions are BORING Him!"

This drama is occuring in Coeur d'Alene Idaho, the nearest large city is Spokane Washington.

In the first video, the fellow claims an angelic visitation. An angel in her glory handed him a stone after he was returning home from work one day. They are claiming 39 stones received, in a variety of ways such as appearing spontaneously and dropping into the yard.


Forte documented many cases of stones, ice, fish, pieces of organic matter, dropping from the sky or otherwise appearing in strange places. There are hundreds of such accounts, without blaming Angles.

I think it's the ether.

Hi, old thread but of relevance for me, so I hope some from here can help.
I am a Christian Pastor in New Zealand. I have seen some of the gemstones and met Kari Browning briefly when she was in NZ, when I attended a conference she was speaking at. (She is a Pastor in Idaho, at the church where these things were reported).
Since her visit and those reports, there are now those in my city and country who claim to have received gems from Heaven.
Personally, as a Pentecostal Pastor, I am not a stranger to supernatural phenomenon. But I also don't believe in leaving your brain behind when you become a Christian, and accepting everything you are presented with, without examining it.
What seems strange to me, is that historically, gem stones in a spiritual setting, have usually been associated with the new age movement, or with psychics in a manifestation called apports.
Afaik they have only recently been reported in Christian circles.
Anyway, my question, for those here who know about gems, is: from the info provided here about the stones from the OP, what specifically would you think these stones are? Where might they be sourced, and at what cost?
What sort of questions can I ask the people who have them, to try and determine what they are? Where should they go to test them?
I want to see if someone from one of these groups will take theirs to be examined/tested.
Any help or input appreciated, as I am somewhat sceptical, and dont want people being tricked.

Any gemologist with optical testing equipment could identify the stone(s).
How did the stones get from heaven to earth?

Maybe they are meteorites or tektites or moldavite or peridot found in pallasites or just hoaxes.

I'd be interested in seeing a picture or two of these heavenly gems.

Thanks. I am going to start asking around here if someone will take one to a gemologist.
I think there are some pics in one of the links that the OP posted.

The stones posted by the original OP are hoaxes.

Okay. Those are the same ones that I would have seen when she brought them over to NZ.
If possible, could you give a reason or reasons as to why they are hoax?
This might help me in dealing with Christians over here who are wondering about these things.

Magical stones, whether megaliths or jewels, are so embedded in folklore, and for so long, they are nearly archetypal. Even in a sect that prohibits "Other" contact , people can "turn to the wrong channel" and import these race memories. No doubt some sincerely believe them.
Religion and politics themselves are taboo on this and many forums, so we cannot really go there and explore this to any depth.
We have yet to see one that did not involve the Hand Of Man.

Multi colored faceted CZ is an artificial product made by technicians in labs and faceted in huge quantities by lapidaries internationally.
There is nothing "otherworldly" about them.
Hoax, sad, but obvious to any gemological professional.

If you can acquire a sample and send it to me, I will be happy to identify it.
I'd love to be wrong.

"Wow, this is the finest example of kryptonite I've ever not seen before!"
