And, much like the Philosopher’s Stone and the Holy Grail, its wielder may even attain immortality. Possession of the stone elevates its holder to a higher state of being, granting knowledge of all time and space and, consequently, the potential for world domination. What looks like an ordinary rock is actually a powerful, pan-dimensional artifact. But its greater powers lie in a higher dimension, invisible to our own senses. Its physical properties are mostly ordinary, described as green, and trapezohedron in shape.
The word “Cintamani” itself can be translated to “thought-gem” or “wishing stone.” The Treasure of the World Image: Göran Höglund (Kartläsarn) via CC by 2.0 It’s entirely possible that the Cintamani Stone originated in space. The Greeks incorporated it in their superstitions, believing that its appearance foretold a kind of “star sickness.” In Freemasonry, it’s known as the Blazing Star, and is used as a symbol in many masonic images.
The Egyptians based their calendar on it. Regardless of whether or not this is true, Sirius has long played a role in human culture. In fact, esoteric belief states that extraterrestrials from Sirius, perhaps ambassadors of the system, brought the Cintamani Stone to Earth seeking to establish their own unified order on our planet. Skeptics claim this is nothing more than a case of “cultural contamination,” but ancient astronaut theorists view this as proof of extraterrestrial interaction with Earth’s ancient civilizations. Knowledge of the second star, called Sirius B, could not have been gained without the use of sophisticated telescopes. What’s interesting is that the Dogon people of Mali, Africa reportedly knew of this second star long before modern astronomers. Sirius is a binary star system, meaning it consists of two unique stars.įriedrich Bessel figured this out in 1844, but it wasn’t until 1862 that the second star was actually observed. What we commonly see as one very bright star in our night sky (in fact, it’s the brightest) is actually two. A Gift From The Stars Image: Leon Brocard via CC by 2.0 For the “true” story of the Cintamani Stone begins in the binary star system of Sirius. To uncover these mysteries, we must first travel to a distant world. Did the Cintamani stone actually exist? And, if so, where is it now? Esoteric theorists and modern day treasure hunters have uncovered profound possibilities. However, its power was considered so great, and so potentially disastrous, they ultimately sent it to the mystical, hidden city of Shambhala.īut the legend of the Cintamani Stone doesn’t end there. Each piece is meant to serve as a memento of quiet exploration, both physical and emotional, evoking memories of wandering peacefully along a shoreline, and prompting reflection on our biggest wishes for ourselves and those we hold close.The Cintamani Stone (or Chintamani Stone) is a legendary artifact of Buddhist and Hindu mythology, a “wish-fulfilling” gem of extraordinary power.Īccording to Buddhist legend, it fell from the stars and landed in Tibet, where the ancient Buddhists revered it as a spiritual jewel. The thoughtfully-designed pieces in this collection provide the versatility of both comfort and elegance. To touch, each piece is smooth like a stone that has been tumbled by the sea for centuries, and features a shiny raised line that makes reference to wishing stones. The Wishing Stone Collection features sterling silver jewellery designs that draw inspiration from the act of beach combing, and the rocks we decide to pick up and hold onto as keepsakes. These are known to grant wishes when mediated on and tossed back into the ocean, or lovingly passed along to someone else. There is one type of rock, however, that is known with certainty to be special: wishing stones.Īccording to legend, a wishing stone is a rock with a distinct, continuous line that runs around it. What is deemed a good beach rock is subject to it’s finder it could have smooth surface, a pleasing shape, or an eye-catching colour.
Sometimes, particularly along the rocky shores that are characteristic of many coastal regions in Atlantic Canada, beach combing centres around finding the “perfect” rock.
Upon spotting a rare variety, you’d likely pick it up, and add it to your collection as a prized possession. When walking along the any shoreline, it’s common to look down to scan the ground for intricate shells and fragments of beach glass.
