returning to the earth

[nia]

shows signs of exhaustion like significant change of colour, loss of lustre or even breaking apart, this means the stone has sacrificed itself for you. Such an exhausted stone should be given back to Mother Earth immediately.

Quoting czechwoods in the thread 'i love this stone'.

I was wondering, if a stone breaks, should it always be returned to ther earth? is there ever a case for keeping them, cleansing them and recharging them?
Is it a different answer if the rock broke through physical impact of idiot housemates rather than energetical exhaustion?

As Czech is away . I shouldn`t really be answering this. But he will be back and see this. That theory is Czechwoods. When a stone breaks for whatever reason. energy is lost. Usually in order to repair the stone.Other ways are it has to be tumbled,smoothed out(which is harder and the equipment is much more expensive) or glued/binded together with another stone or the other broken piece. Burrying a stone in the ground for a few days does restore energy to it. A small professional rock tumbler will cost about $50 USD or so. When I tumble chipped or broken quartz crystals they do radiate better power after a tumble. Also some people perfer to use raw stones. And raw stones are broken from the earth. There are many choices you can do. I have one way ,Czechwoods has another and maybe someone else has another way. it's like cleansing/recharging crystals. Which there are about a dozen ways of doing it. all are valid IMO.
So here are the choices and do what feels right for you

I have no other answers but I just buried a long loved tourquise stone that had cracked very badly. I do not think it could be repaired. Czech suggested letting it go back to the Earth as it had done it's job. And it seems to be a good thing to do. But I am sure others have other suggestions as LD said.

i just want to correct my 'theory'

it is not meaning that a stone that broke without "reason" is dead in energy.

in tourquoise case, if it changes clolour lustre etc, it shows that it has taken which is too much for the stone. it should be cleansed immedietly. if the cleansing does not work, meaning the colour changes not back to the original, it means the stone has given what it had to give

out of respect for this, the stone should be returned to earth (mother) so it can recharge and get restored (OR IF NECESSARY TO REST IN PEACE)

stones that break without any reason, show trhey are exhausted.

when we are exhausted we dont want to be forced to working. so its just respect for the stone, that i am asking. respect it needs a break. as a stone lives far longer a short break for it, can be a longer period oftime for us

tumbling such a piece can be an alternative, but with tourquoise especially it shouldnt be done
