Concretion




Definition:
A mass of mineral, found generally, within a rock of a dissimilar composition. It is created by deposition of the mineral, via aqueous solution [within the dissimilar rock]. Succinctly, the concretion is a coalescence of separate particles of matter into one body, sometimes exhibiting an arrangement of concentricity. Many concretions, when opened, display a fossil tracery.
Specific Types of Concretions:
  • Bezoar - found chiefly in the alimentary organs of ruminants, and have been said to possess magical properties.
  • "Indian Rattle Boxes" - Partially hollow concretions containing particles of sand and gravel. They have been used in Native American Indian and Native African ceremonial activities. They are said to have the power to ward-off venemous snakes, to increase strength and vigor, and to elevate ones state of conciousness to the visionary condition. Non-rattling concretions have also been used in Native American Indian Healing ceremonies.
  • Churinga Stones - Esteemed for their magical powers by the Australian Aborigines, and can be used in activities of enchantment and in the performance of white magic rituals. They are usually found in pairs [as are the Boji stones]; one stone representing the force of the creative nurturing and sustaining of the "Great Mother", and one stone representing the force of strength, intensity, fervor, and effectiveness fo the "Great Father".
