George asks…
PLEASE HELPP! It's about the Aqeeq (Agate) ring that I bought!?
So I bought this ring the other day, it was originally for around 200 $ but I bought it for around 100 $ cuz we bought a lot of stuff from him. It was an original (not commercial) red Aqeeq stone (called "dam ghazali" in arabic for its blood red colour) about the size of a pea (maybe about a gram) with a silver ring..It was from Iran..or Yemen...not sure, either one.... Please answer the following:
Q.1 Was I ripped off? Or should an original have actually cost that much?
Q.2 I just noticed a VERY miniscule round chip on its surface, not a proper crack but a chip, it looked like an open pore on your skin, only really tiny, I only noticed it once I got home and saw it under a bright fluorescent light, I would only be able to feel it if I dug a needle in it. Does that mean it is less effective in its healing and other energy-giving capabilities that these stones normally have? or is that normal? Should I return it?
Q.3 I banged my hand against the door knob (not that hard) but I managed to chip it very slightly from its side (making it not a 100% smooth and round) but it doesn't show one bit, I only noticed when I dragged my fingernail across that bit and felt that it wasn't as smooth as before. Does that effect the stone in any way? Are aqeeq stones supposed to be that damn fragile?!
Please answer ALL questions to the best of your knowledge!!

need help finding Natural Black Onyx Beads?
10mm matte and polished.
All I can find is the dyed ones, I want natural.
Also, a lot of those china wholesale sites claim "natural aaa" quality, but that just means its the best quality they can fake lol, still not a legit "natural" black onyx.
I don't like KNOWING that my beads would be...fake. You know?
Can you tell the difference from the dyed agate and natural ones in person?
admin answers:
You can always try searching for them on amazon.com. Amazon normally has, like everything under the sun lol. It could be that they are just hard to find, and that you might have to settle for the next best thing. Personally, I would not be able to tell the difference and I doubt anyone else would be able to.

need help understand "To Helen" by Edgar Allan Poe. wikipedia and google doesnt help!?
I need help understand "To Helen" by Edgar Allan Poe. wikipedia and google doesnt help!?
Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,
The weary, way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam,
Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece,
And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche
How statue-like I see thee stand,
The agate lamp within thy hand,
Ah! Psyche, from the regions which
Are Holy Land!
I dont understand the poem.
questions
1. In the first stanza, what likeness does poe draw between Helen and the "Nicean barks"? What does this similie reveal about the speaker?
2. What meaning of "glory" does the speaer associate with Greece? To "the grandeur that Rome"? What meaning does Poe give to "holy land"?
i just need the poem explained to me. i know that the nicean barks a vessel but how does it show her beauty
admin answers:
Sunshine,
He's telling her that her beauty is capable of transporting him to an idyllic state (home). Women are often compared to seagoing vessels (the face that launched a thousand ships for instance). It tells us he is a romantic earthy type person.
Greece is considered one of the most enlightened, civilized and glorious civilizations in history. Rome controlled most of the civilized world at its peak which could create a lot of grandeur. I think by Holy Land he is referring to a sacred place (perhaps her presence is sacred to him).
Basically he is just telling her that he thinks she is beautiful, awesome and hot.
