We Have Exogenic Fulgurites!!

While I was in Tucson for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show I saw some interesting things.  One the things that caught my eye was  something called Exogenic Fulgurites.

Exogenic Fulgurites

Normally they are “sand stuck by lightning” that resembles hardened fused silica that looks something like this smaller photo.

You can see more of this type of Fulgurite at the website for the Mineralogical Research Company. This is the usual type of Fulgurite.  Exogenic Fulgurites, on the other hand, are dark and shiny like the ones in the larger photo and are actually ejected from the original type of Fulgurite.  These are even more interested and very rare.  There is also a great article in Rocks and Mineral Magazine September/October 2004 Vol 79, No 5, pp334-340 if you are interested.

For more of the information on Exogenic Fulgurites, there are some on  Tektitesource.com.  He says on his website that he is the only one that owns any of this, but Magical Delights has some that will be for sale in the near future.

According to this article by  Phylameana lila Desy “Fulgurite is used as a tool for prayer and meditation. It arouses the kundalini energy and helps it to rise to inspirational heights, an awakening. The fulgurite can be used for manifesting and focus. Helps to clear clogged chakras as well.”  Sounds like it would be a great mineral to wear in a pendant now and in the future.

There are a few of the small round circles that would work well in a Pendant or a Finger Bracelet™.  The rest of them would make great specimen pieces to add to your collection.  We will apply prices to them when I return from my East Coast Art Festival trip.

This weekend, March 18th, 19th and 20th,  I will be at the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks Pennsylvania.  We will have some new designs, as well as our original Magical Delights signature style handcrafted jewelry designs.  I look forward to seeing you there!!  If you would like more information about where Magical Delights Handcrafted Jewelry Designs will be appearing, you can refer to the Art Festival Page of our website at MagicalDelights.com

New Things Are Coming To Magical Delights!!

The year is whizzing by again and we at Magical Delights are getting ready for Spring.  I am off to do The Sugarloaf  Crafts Festivals in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and also a stop at A Bit of the West in Wickford, Rhode Island.  You may check our schedule on our Art Festival Page on our website at MagicalDelights.com.

We are hoping for a positive experience at these shows as two of them are new for us.

We have been working on a couple of new bracelet designs which we hope will catch on.  Also, we are working on a new pendant designs as well.

We developed new wand stands just prior to going to Tucson and found that people really seemed to like them.

There is some further work we need to do, but having Moldavite incorporated in the design adds a lot.

So there are new things from Magical Delights for 2011.  We would like to see some peace break out in the world.  It was interesting to see all the protesting going on ie: Madison Wisconsin, Egypt, Libia, Yemen, ect.  I hope that all these signs of change are going to turn out to be positive.

I will be stopping in Chicago to help Jean at the Body Mind Spirit Expo and then on to the East.

We have added a Retail Location Page on our website to let our customers know where they may be able to find Handcrafted Jewelry by Magical Delights at a store near you.  We also have some of our Magical Jewelry Creations available on our Etsy site at http://etsy.com/MagicalDelightDesign# and also on Festival Net at http://festivalnet.com/Magical_Delights
