[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7792169, member: 58172"] Here are the color codes for Egyptian magic. For magical reasons, when wearing jewelry, an artificial gem that is the correct color is more valuable than a precious stone that has an incorrect color. Red (Desher) - blood, lifeforce and victory, fire and rage: red jasper stone Gold (Kenit) - sun, immortality, indestructibility, eternity: gold metal White (Shesep) - moon, holiness, purity, omnipotence: alabaster calcite stone Green (Wadj) - vegetation and new life, growth, healing: malachite stone Cyan (Mefkat) - day, joy: turquoise stone Indigo (Khesbedj) - heavens and waters, primordial cosmic forces of creation: lapis lazuli stone Black (Khem) - night, underworld, rebirth in afterlife, fertile soil of Nile River: black chalcedony stone Remember the color of the stone is always more important than the kind of stone. So a lapis lazuli that is a bright daylight sky blue can instead represent Cyan joy. A gold that is a pale electrum can represent silver thus White holiness. Tut-Ankh-Amun had a pectoral that featured an unusual meteorite glass that was a vivid canary yellow color to represent Gold indestructibility. And so on. These stones are often worn as beads, carved into magical shapes (of animals, bodyparts, etcetera) for a pendant, or set into objects somewhat like tiles. O yeah. Electrum is totally a thing. Much of the naturally occurring gold is electrum being alloyed with various amounts of silver, and pure silver is in some eras more precious than gold. [/QUOTE]
