Aquamarine Gem Stone

Peter bought me a set of beautiful aquamarine jewelry when we were in India.  I just loved it!!  About 5 years ago when we were going overseas, Peter told me to NOT take any valuable jewelry, and to hide it in our house.  I hid my aquamarine stones extremely well.  I couldn't find it upon my return, even though I turned the house upside down looking.  Then we moved from Ballina to Sydney, and as I packed, I kept looking for the jewelry without success.   I had taken a whole heap of shoes, clothing, and purses to St. Vincent de Paul before we left...  and I had a sickening feeling I left the jewelry in a pocket or a shoe, etc. and gave it away.

I even listened to my Mother who told me I should pray to St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost things.

Recently on my meditation course, I meditated on 'letting go' of the pain regarding the jewelry I had lost.

This morning... 5 years later, in the Hunter Valley, I pulled out a hair clip from a plastic bag....  and out fell a little jewelry case....   and there it was, my aquamarine earings, ring, and pendant.  I thank whomever, or whatever, for giving it back to me!
