Over the past decade I have lots of print outs, and this summer I put them into 3 ring notebook. The hand written ones I kept in a spiral notebook that also show a pattern, and it gets more intense and shows me the big picture of the shift and why it's happening (again). I get a time scale to look at. I noticed a certain pattern, which was learning about energy and energy grids on the earth and on human and animal bodies.

So when something calls me, I do the research and then I know that is the direction I should be heading to. So for you, maybe it's the same way. Maybe start with printing out the information, and then look up pyramids. Maybe it's about sacred sites, energy sites, geology and why things happen. See where your learning takes you. If you do this, you will begin to notice your energy field strengthen and your relationships with people will become happier and have meaning because of your positive energy and awareness of the land masses and the world around you. Stay steady and focused.

For me, I loved reading and seeing the photo's of the Tarsiers. What an interesting story.

Hi Briar Rose! Wow! Those pictures are beautiful! The Tariers are soooo cute - I'll have to read more about them.
All this information all helps and makes sense for me. Thank you for helping me get started, I really appreciate this.
What you said "Maybe it's about sacred sites, energy sites, geology and why things happen. See where your learning takes you. If you do this, you will begin to notice your energy field strengthen and your relationships with people will become happier and have meaning because of your positive energy and awareness of the land masses and the world around you. Stay steady and focused." pertains very much to me and my life. I wonder why certain things have happened, I believe in sacred and energy sites, and I do indeed need to strengthen my relationships and I need to strengthen my energy field.
This is great!
Thank you again, stay in contact please, you've been very helpul. : )
Luv & Peace,
Margo

bring it to a crystal shop and ask them to identify it. Maybe it's soap stone.

Onyx, chalcedony is too expensive.
It's not bone or ivory. I seriously doubt it.
Resin- doubtful to go through that process. Why?

Most of these are either an agate or soap stone, usually.

The only search I can come up with is:

- in Philippines we have the so called "chocolate hills" -- 1,776 strange pyramidal hills. There are voices suggesting that these may also be earth-covered pyramids.


Maybe the hills are speaking to you. I am being serious about that btw.

One thing to remember is that although the pyramid might have been carved in the Philippines, that doesn't guarantee that the stone itself was mined there. It could have come from anywhere.

Soapstone is a good suggestion. If it is, it will have a distinctly soapy feeling. That's literally how I identified some butterfly beads that I was making into pendants -- they were dyed, so I wasn't able to ID them based on appearance alone. But then I realized that while I was working with them, I was noticing a soapy texture on the stones (and on my fingertips), and I put two and two together.

Agate is another good suggestion. That's another member of the chalcedony/quartz family, and it often shows a banding pattern. Its more opaque cousin, Jasper, has SO MANY different variations, that I could easily believe this pyramid is one of them. I'm even more inclined to believe that this pyramid is jasper, rather than onyx or agate (which can sometimes have some translucent properties). That is, unless the stone feels soapy, in which case, I'd go with soapstone all the way.

Hi shelikes2read!
Thank you for this information! Yes, this Pyramid is definitely opaque.

Lol!!!! I think your right! But the thrift store gets donations, so I don't think they'll remember - I could try. : )
I took some more photos!

Ahhh! I hadn't realised, I thought a thrift store was like a cheap bargains shop (new import trash) but it appears thrift store sells 2nd hand (we call them Opp Shops ; Opportunity shops).

In that case it could be ivory and the shop did not realise its 'value' .

Still hard to see for me the pics are a little blurry, there does seem to be some stone like colouration and patterns but ??? blurry ... again that cellular fracture patterna does not look like a stone. if you took it to a jewellers surely they would know?

non of these soapstones have the cellular pattern, which to me looks like minute stress fractures ... there are one or two pics of stone with similar stress fracture lines but they are in line and wave shapes not based on the 'cell' pattern in the pyramid.

In any case it seems the interest is not so much on the substance itself but connections with the shape and the sticker on it.

Have fun with that (especially if you decide to visit the Chocolate Hills ,,, what a place! It says it abounds with springs and caves ... now I want to go there :) )

Things people would ordinarily throw out may be donated to thrift stores, which generally are adjuncts to charitable organizations. (They may even give receipts, for the tax purposes of the wealthy among us.) I have quite a few exquisite thrift store finds, mostly books and furniture.

Thank you ravenest! Yes, I got a feeling you were thinking of like a Dollar Store or something. I'll have to try to get better pics and get to a store that has stones&crystals, maybe they'll know. Would luv to visit the Chocolate Hills!!!!
