“SLATY SHALE RECORD STONE”™
(Astrological Sign of Scorpio)

The “Slaty Shale Record Stone”™ crystallizes as black to grey laminated masses of Shale (fine detrital sedimentary rock) which occurs as plates, upon which are glyphic patterns comprised of Kaolinite and Iron. The composition (Kaolinite and Iron) of the “glyphs” of this mineral has been shown to have originated from a source outside of the original depositional location. It is thought that the word “Shale” was derived from the Teutonic word meaning “shell” or “husk”. Kaolinite was first reported by S.W. Johnson and J.M. Blake in 1867 and is named for Kauling, a hill in China, which contained Kaolin(ite). The “Slaty Shale Record Stone”™, discovered in the 1990’s, and named for the formation, was first reported in 1999 in “Love is In The Earth – Kaleidoscopic Pictorial Supplement Z”. The mineral is a combination of Slaty Shale (fine-grained detrital, sedimentary finely laminated structure), Kaolinite [Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄], and Iron (Fe); Hardness Variable; Locality: The “Melody Green Mine” (MGM), Arkansas, USA (Type-locality). The following properties are in addition to those listed in the KAOLINITE and IRON sections of this book.

The “Slaty Shale Record Stone”™ has been used to provide for the deciphering of ancient scripts and codes and has initiated the translation of Etruscan, an ancient language from an ancient civilization; it has been found to contain the energies to assist one in both gaining and maintaining a connection with another area of the world, the spiritual members of another ancient society, and with the Earth – allowing for the transmission of information between the two, and for the conveyance of loving/gentle energy to the defined location.

Translation of the “glyphs” has produced information concerning both other-worldly ceremonial techniques and healing techniques based upon the utilization of the mineral kingdom. The “glyphs” are said to have been placed upon the Shale via specific action of beings from outside of our dimensional world, specifically to assist us in our journey of progression in healing the self (and in assisting others) and in the actualization of our paths.

“Slaty Shale Record Stone”™ can help in the discovery of mineral deposits and in the study of geology and geological forces. It can promote visions, given background information, with respect to locations of that which has not been discovered and/or that which has been “lost” after initial discovery.

The stone has been said to have been an “Escarboucle”, a mythical stone used by the Knights of the Round Table to bring both intellectual insight and easy solutions to problems.

Although the magic of wishing does not (usually) work backward, this mineral has been used to clarify that which one “thought” one wanted and/or did not want, and to subsequently promote the actualization of “wishing” the unwanted to be gone again. It provides for the recognition that although one may have forgotten much, one still has the advantage over those who never knew anything in the beginning.

It has been used in gridding to prevent mindless vandalism and graffiti. The specimens are placed “out-of-sight” in the areas which are prone to experience the vandalism and/or graffiti.

The “Slaty Shale Record Stone”™ has been used to take one back to his/her youth (even if it is quite a trip) and to stimulate youthful renewal. It has assisted one to transcend the material essence of the body, bringing about prompt response to healing situations.
