Well this was a little bit strange, so I thought I would ask for some input.

For several weeks I have been looking for a piece of Amythist. I have purchased a few pieces, but none of them truly felt right... I believe it is because the pieces were all either cut or finished mounted pieces.

Anyway, yesterday when I returned home from work... my son looked down and there in my drive way was a piece of raw Amythist. Very odd, because to my knowledge I am the only one in my neighborhood that collects gemstones.

Anyway, I decided that I would try to find the rightful owner of the stone and took it into the house. Later in the evening I was showing the stone to my husband and telling him that I was not sure if I should keep it or try to return it... when my black tiger eye necklace... that I ALWAYS wear... suddenly broke and fell off of my neck. It appeared nothing had caused this necklace to break, but when I looked the rope chain was snapped in half.

This made me wonder if it might be a sign for me to put away the black tiger eye for a while... and carry the Amythist instead.

I feel a little funny about using someone else's stone... and when I loose one of my stones, I'm always a little frantic until I can find it.

So my question is... would you suggest that I keep and use this stone, or try to return it???

and

What might be the symoblism of my black tiger eye breaking at the same time that this Amythist entered my life???

I look forward to hear what anyone has to say on this subject.

Keep Smiling....

I suggest that you keep the stone, I believe it was ment to be there for you to find, I can't help you on anything else other than that. The Amethyst is my Birth stone and a very good healer.

Tiger's eye has many wonderful properties.  One of which is divination.   It is possible that your necklace led you to your discovery.  When you asked your question, you were truely answered.  The amethyst is yours.  Don't take that lightly as the amethyst is one of the most powerful stones around. It beckoned you. Cleanse it, charge it & keep it with you always. It will bring you happiness.  Remember to re cleanse & re charge after anyone else has touched it.

keep the amethyst. it was meant for u. otherwise u would not hve found it . gems find the person and not the other way around

It seems that the time in your life is changing an you need the change and finding the amethyst is letting you know this. Wear it and see what it brings.
