We use turquoise, lapis, and just plain blue beads to ward off the evil eye. Don't know if it works but you'll never catch me without my earrings.  But I can't say that they've helped my hearing any.

> Gabi, I've got bracelets hanging on my saddles - I use a combination of turquoise, rose quartz, tigers eye and lepidolite - it's not pretty, but seems to do the job.? I'm also the one who just got back from a trip to Atlanta and had to swap stuff in my suitcase so I wasn't overweight on luggage because of the beautiful rock I found while I was there <image.tiff>.? Rose quartz and lepidolite are calming and the turquoise and tigers eye are for communication.
