Wishing Stones: A stone with a single perfectly unbroken stripe all the way around the circumference of the rock. For a rock to qualify as an authentic wishing rock, there can be no breaks or pauses in the white quartz ring. The ring can be crossed by other rings but must have no beginning and no end.
An
authentic wishing rock...they arenot native to here, but they do show up in those bags of rocks at the the Dollar General. I love Dollar General, and there i found a bag of decorative rocks, and you guessed it contained a wishing stone. this rock loving old aged kid was almost silly with excitement, OK i was silly with excitement.
As my loyal readers know, i have always loved rocks. When other little girls were picking flowers, i would be filling my pockets with rocks.
But i have never found any of these, even when i was wandered along a few Atlantic beaches. True wishing stones are granite with a ring of or many rings of quartz. These can sometimes be found on inland beaches, if you are in an area where there are granite formations.
Alas i have never found one of those magical places where the wishing stones dwell.
